CHAMPIONS – BALANCE/UPDATES/FIXES
General
Addressed a bug where knockbacks would have different behavior based on the position of the source.

Buck
“Buck excels as a Flanker, but boasts a large amount of control for how mobile he is. We want to reward players who consistently land Net Shots, and Heroic Leap’s slow allowed Buck to extend the slow duration longer than it should last.”
Heroic Leap
No longer slows enemies upon landing.

Evie
Ice Block
Ice block is now able to be themed for skins.
Cards
“Wormhole provided Evie too much breathing room around using her Blink, and was too valuable at ranks 1 and 2. Reducing the scale down means players now need to place more points into Wormhole to get similar value out of it.”
Wormhole
Reduced duration allowing the return blink from 2/4/6/8 to 1/2/3/4s.

Drogoz
“Through card combinations and precise timing Drogoz players were able to exceed booster’s maximum speed for long durations of time allowing for an unintended amount of mobility. With the new booster behaviour he can still momentarily hit high speeds but will not be able to maintain them.”
Booster
Implemented a gradual speed reduction to booster when surpassing the maximum intended speed.
Booster is now disabled for 1 second after being knocked back

Fernando
“Fernando is a formidable Front Line to deal with and can bring incredible point control to his team. However, we feel Fernando excels a bit too much at chasing enemies. We are reducing his base Movement Speed and Health to ensure risky positioning stays risky as it gave him a lot of forgiveness if he chased too far. The Cooldown recovery mechanic was short enough along with his ability to chase where it allowed Fernando to play more of a Flank role.”
General
Reduced Health from 5700 to 5500.
Reduced Movement Speed from 365 to 360.
Shield
Increased the minimum Cooldown when cancelling Shield early based on amount of Health remaining from 7 to 9s.

Kinessa
Transporter
Reduced Cooldown from 12 to 10s.

Makoa
“Makoa excels at isolating targets and provides a strong contrast to the other Front Line champions in that way. He falls a bit behind champions like Fernando or Barik in point control, but we want to highlight his uniqueness by increasing the amount of damage he can deal.”
Ancient Rage
Increased damage from 600 to 650.
Cannon
Increased damage from 600 to 650.

Mal’Damba
“While Mal’Damba has a strong list of healing and control options for his team, his survivability is lower than other Support champions. We are increasing his base Health to allow him to take a few extra hits and stay in the fight.”
General
Increased Health from 2500 to 2650.

Sha Lin
Cards
Grounded
Fixed an issue where this card was healing for 13% less than intended at all ranks.

Ying
Cards
“Carry On held too much value at low ranks, giving a significant increase in healing output without encouraging the player to put a lot of points into it in their loadout.”
Carry On
Reduced the amount of duration increase from 3/6/9/12 to 1/2/3/4s.

DOTA 2: Skin Creators Say Valve is Ripping Them Off

Designers who say they are able to make a living selling outfits and skins for Dota 2 say they may need to get new gigs now that they’ve noticed an unannounced change to the game’s economy affecting their bank accounts. In a post on the Dota 2 subreddit, a collective of anonymous artists alleged that Valve has not only been paying them less for items, but doing so without having properly notified them. We reached out to this collective, who agreed to discuss the issues on condition of anonymity because they fear Valve will retaliate against them. (We also reached out to Valve for comment, but did not receive a reply by publication time.) Cosmetics are an attraction for any game, letting players customize their favorite character’s appearance for a small price. In Dota 2, custom content is a marketplace, where independent artists can create sets of cosmetics and sell them. Recent changes, however, have turned what was once a thriving economy into a ho...
