Dear Challengers,

on 23rd of April 2020, AoV will hold a Hotfix to perform some adjustments to Hero Balance. Please check the information below for more details.

I. Antaris Battlefield — Hero Balance

Chaugnar: The Herald of the Void (Buff) (SA excluded):

Chaugnar has less great interactions in laning, both in the support position and the mage position. This time we have slightly increased the damage of his core skills, allowing him to perform better in terms of faster interactions and sustained damage.

Skill 2: Shockwave

Base Damage: 275/325/375/425/475/525 (+35% of AP) > 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+40% of AP)

Damage increases by 30% with each cast: stack ups 2 times > 4 times

Ryoma: The Ronin (Adjust):

As the overall survivability of the heroes of Dark Caesar Slayer lane rises, Ryoma’s repressive power seems to be too weak. This time we have buffed his mobility.

Skill 1: Pinwheel

Base Damage: 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+125% of AD) > 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+100% of AD)

Mechanism adjustment: If Ryoma damages an enemy hero the Pinwheel’s cooldown is reduced by 3 seconds > If Ryoma damages an enemy hero the Pinwheel can be cast again within 4 seconds.

Jinnar: The Incorruptible (Nerf):

After the last hotfix went live we saw in our data how overwhelming Jinnar is now. The amount of regen with his skill in a team fight and a large amount of damage reduction made him almost an unstoppable hero, even regen reduction items could not effectively counter him. Therefore, we have reduced the amount of regen in his mid-to-late game team fights.

Skill 1: Force Orbs

Regen: 150/170/190/210/230/250 (+15% of AP) > 125/140/155/170/185/200 (+12% of AP)

New mechanism: The first regen is 100%, the subsequent regens are only 30%.

Skill 3: Exuberance

Cooldown: 35/30/25 seconds > 40/36/32 seconds

Volkath: The Black Apostate (Buff):

Skill 2: Execution

If the marked target is killed by this skill, the cooldown is reset immediately > If the marked target is killed by this skill, the mana costs will be restored and the cooldown is reset immediately.
