Upcoming Update

This is a list of future changes. Some stuff can change without notice.

Non-imba heroes

• Unique Talents are moved to level 10, 20, up to 40, if they have enough.
• Generic Talents will be fixed to scale (currently there are 2 duplicates of the same generic on each row).
• Each non-imba hero will get one more generic talent to the pack, so it wouldn't get stuck with one missing ability bonus he has nothing to use it on.
• Generic number buffs.

Imba heroes

• Most of them have some mechanics that sounds nice in paper, but actually aren't being noticeable. One good example is Skywrath's Talents which are just...not good enough. We'll go and rework those to other stuff. I'll need your help in this, both in concepts and both in actually making the rework.
• Some IMBA effects are only "unlocked" after being level 5. A good example for this is Lina's Light Strike Array, which is 100% vanilla until level 5, which then gets 2 more explosion for each level. We'll make the IMBA effects unlocked from the start, and become crazier in higher levels.
• Some heroes have redundant IMBA effects.

Runes

• Removed rune stacking.
• Haste rune has normal vanilla values. Also increases attack speed by 50. 50% effect for allies in 900 AoE.
• Regeneration rune's regeneration effect becomes 1% HP regen when taking player based damage for 3 seconds. Normal values otherwise. 50% effect for allies in 900 AoE.
• Double Damage rune doubles base attack speed, and increases spell power by 20%. 50% effect for allies in 900 AoE.
• Invisibility rune - turns you invisible, increases move speed by 20%. Next attack deals a guaranteed 200% critical.
• Illusion rune - creates two illusions of you. Those illusions has 50% incoming damage and outgoing damage.
• Mega Bounty Rune: When the horn is heard, a Mega Bounty is created in the center river point. Grants 100g to the each of the team members of the team that picked it up.

Heroes

Disruptor

  • Reverted to its original radius. (need to the same for the particle as well)

Talents

• Removed
  • +0.5 move speed per stack
  • +1.5 Kinetic Field
  • +50 maximum Static Storm damage
  • +1.25 Static Storm damage per pulse.

• Added
  • Each Thunder Strike has a 25% chance to launch a Chain Lightning at the closest enemy in 600 AoE, bouncing up to 5 times. The same enemy cannot be hit twice by the same Chain Lightning wave.
  • Units that exit the Static Storm gets electrocuted, and are ministunned every 0.5 seconds. For every second they were inside the storm, they're ministunned once, so up to 5 ministuns (7 with aghs).
  • Glimpsing an enemy inside a Kinetic Field causes the Glimpse Storm to have its radius expanded to the radius of the whole ring.
  • When a Thunder Strike searches for hero to determine its strike count, heroes that are currently inside a Static Storm are counted twice.

Jakiro

Dual Breath

• Turned into Point/Unit Target spell. Behaves normally (even when clicking on allies or enemies). Casting it on yourself makes Jakiro breath fire/ice, but not move from his own location.
• Manually stopping your hero while Fire/Ice Breath is in effect stops Jakiro in its current location and the spell ends.

Ice Path

• Removes the slow for enemies still on Ice Path.
• Antipode affects enemies standing on Ice Path. This effect lingers for 2 seconds after exiting Ice Path's area.

  • Fire/Ice Breath leave a trail of fire/ice for 3 seconds over Jakiro's path. Units that touch it take damage/slowed.
  • After Fire/Ice Breath end, Jakiro keeps breathing fire/ice for 3 seconds.
  • Ice Path's width is doubled. However, Ice Path unfolds slowly instead of instantly.
  • Increases Dual Breathes's cast point to 1 second, but makes Jakiro travel forward very quickly.
  • Taking damage causes Jakiro to create a small Macropyre in a cirlce. This effect has 300 radius and lasts 3 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 12 seconds.

Juggernaut

• Blade Fury
  • Remove evasion bonus while spinning.
  • While spinning, Juggernaut deflects ranged attack projectiles aimed at him, taking no damage from them and firing that projectile towards a random enemy in 800 range.

• Blade Dance
  • Blade Dance's active changes from Unit target to Point target. Whenever it is ready, it plays a sound indicating it is ready to be used. (Rosa's lightsaber sound clip)
  • Reaching 3 Secret Blade stacks allows using Blade Dance's active, consuming all Secret Blade stacks. Causes Juggernaut to slash each enemy in his path once. When the dash ends, enemies hit are slashed again in the same order they were hit until all Secret Blade stacks are used, up to 3 slashes per enemy. Has a 3 seconds cooldown.
  • Attacking an enemy grants Juggernaut a stack of Secret Blade for 3.5 seconds. This can refresh and stack with itself infinitely. This buff would have Slice and Dice's icon.
  • Critting an enemy grants Juggernaut with Wind Dance normally, which grants bonus agility. (no changes)

• Omnislash
  • Add a varied amount of damage so Omnislash would always have 225 damage at the minimum. If the bonus damage grants more than the minimum threshold, no damage is added. (100 damage becomes 225, 180 damage becomes 225, 250 damage stays 250, etc.)
  • Omnislash Cooldown reduction per slash removed.
  • Static +80 bonus damage changed to 35% of Juggernaut's agility.

  • Blade Fury slowly increases in size.
  • Blade Fury acts as a vaccum, sucking units towards Juggernaut.
  • Blade Dance's active strikes three times: once in a straight line forward, and twice to the sides. Can hit the same enemy multiple times per dash.
  • Healing Ward also increases the attack speed of units in its range by 50/100 (moving/fortified).
  • Landing a Blade Dance critical grants you stacks, similar to Wind Dances. Stack timers are independent and last 12 seconds. Each stack grants 1% agility increase to Omnislash bonus damage (which is 35% base).
  • Omnislash sends an image of Juggernaut to commit the slashes: Juggernaut is free to continue as normal.

Kunkka

• Ghostship
  • Ship's distance scales with the target point, so the ship is spawned at the appropriate distance behind Kunkka that would cause it to crash at the target point.
• Ghostship
  • Cast range changes to be the whole travel range (2000).
  • Ship's starting position begins at the target point. The ship then travels towards Kunkka (but doesn't necssarily stops at Kunkka's location).

  • Enemies affected by Torrent's debuff (either main or secondary) will always be hit by Tidebringer.
  • Add Tsunami to Ebb and Flow's normal cycle, in addition to having the 20% Tsunami chance.

  • Frost Armor adds armor to the target unit equal to 10% of Lich's Intelligence.
  • Chain Frost can now be cast on allies, making the Chain Frost ball spin around the target. When the target ally takes damage from enemy heroes, Chain Frost fires itself on the damaging hero. Behaves normally after that. The buff can only last 30 seconds.
  • Frost Armor creates a freezing aura in 400 AoE around the target unit, slowing attack and move speed by 15/15%. This effect gradually increases in strength each time the unit is attacked, up to 30/30%. Refreshing Frost Armor resets the aura's power.

Lina

  • Spawn additional dragon slaves from 2 to 4.

  • The amount of explosions increases to cover the circle around it.

The closer Lina is to her target, the more damage the blast deals. The blast has a minimum of 100 damage. Has a 5 seconds cooldown each use.
  • Lina's spells cause a DoT on enemies hit, dealing damage every second based on her Fiery Soul stacks at that tick: each stack of Fiery Soul grants a 40 damage bonus (120 max). Having no Fiery Soul stacks doesn't deal damage to enemies on that tick. Lasts 5 seconds. Does not stack with itself, but can be refreshed.
  • Main Light Strike Array's explosion is repeated two times (3 explosions total). Each additional explosion increases its radius by 75, but has its stun times halved (100%, 50%, 25% stun durations).

Lion

It gains stacks equal to mana sucked while Lion has full mana pool. Casting Finger of Death consumes Mana Overcharge's stacks and deals bonus damage equal to the amount of mana sucked.
  • Trigger Finger always triggers, regardless of if Finger killed the target. However, in case the target survived, the mana cost is increased for 15 seconds. Killing the target with Finger of Death resets the duration to 7 seconds.
  • Earth Spikes add a debuff to targets that make them slowed by 25% and take 30% more damage from Finger of Death. The debuff is applied immediately when spikes hit, but its total duration is landing time + 3 seconds.
