Mid-Patch Updates - DECEMBER 8TH
- Ahead of the Paris Open, we're shipping a B-patch to ensure the meta is feeling as good as possible, for those competing, and those of you watching at home while spamming games.
- For our big-brained players (likely you reading this, let's be honest), the dominant strategy is to find a way to econ up, either through an econ Augment, powerful openers, or a econ-linked trait (@Yordles/Bilge). From there, if you've had a successful mid-game, you can transition into a mostly Legendary board. With this B-patch we want to slightly lower the power of the over-performing Legendary (5+ cost) units, while also lowering the power of the traits (mentioned above) that get you there.
- But that is all reactionary to the dominant strategy. To give other strategies a boost, we're looking at buffs to champions who've been mia in our opening week. This should have you seeing more dynamic boards, especially in the mid-game.
