From The Designers, Welcome to the new update! This time, our keywords are Exp Lane, laning and teamfight. We want to see more actions in all the lanes during the laning phase, and allow players to decide on their own whether to join a teamfight for the Turtle. Armed Fighters and sustainable Tanks will have revamped War Axe and Brute Force Breastplate as their core builds. While War Axe provides sufficient True Damage, Brute Force Breastplate ensures balanced attack and defense. Meanwhile, many long-debuted heroes will get gameplay optimizations and upgrades! Hopefully, they'll bring you an even better battle experience. I. Hero Adjustments The following heroes have been adjusted in this patch: , , , , , , , , . To be added II. Battlefield Adjustments Equipment Adjustments Neutral Creature Adjustments Turtle Turtles will make a more shocking entrance and exit! Side lane heroes have more of a say in whether to join teamfights near the Turtles. New Effect: 10s prior to/after the Turtles spawn or exit, the River generates a strong current flowing toward/away from them. Follow the flow to gain up to 50% extra Movement Speed. We added a global notification 10s before the Turtle spawns to remind players to use the River for Turtle fights. Scavenger Crabs Easier to kill and more rewarding! Crabs now have much lower HP, and Little Crabs no longer spawn in the first 2 minutes. (Scavenger Crabs continue to spawn instead) Removed Effect: Reward extra Gold over time for Crab kills. New Effect: Crab in Exp Lane now drops 3 Exp Scrolls, which can be picked for bonus Exp. Crab in Gold Lane now drops 3 Gold, which can be picked for bonus Gold. Blink Adjustments We optimized the mechanisms for Blinking to a target location through walls. If you choose to Blink inside a wall and it doesn't exceed the max distance, you'll land on the side of the wall closer to your destination. We increased the distance compensation for most Blinks through walls. Whether you Blink in a target direction or to a target location, as long as the arrow or circle is outside of a wall, you can Blink through that wall. Adjusted the indicator length of the following heroes' Blink skills to match their actual Blink distance: . . . . . . . and . Target Selection Logic Adjustments We optimized the target selection logic in different situations, including: 1. Auto Attack now chooses targets more reasonably. Once a target is slain, the logic of searching for the next target will also be smarter. 2. Optimized Skill Smart Targeting and Basic Attack Smart Targeting. You can enable this feature in Settings > Controls. 3. Adjusted the target selection logic for Summoned Units: Summons that inherit the hero's HP are now considered heroes for targeting purposes, and can't be selected by skills that can't target heroes, such as Retribution. The affected Summoned Units are the following: 's Doppelgangers, 's body after using his Ultimate, himself after using his Skill 2, and 's illusion summoned by her Skill 2. Bug Fixes 1. Fixed an issue where Starlium Scythe's extra damage would trigger Spell Vamp. 2. Fixed an issue where 's skill animation couldn't play from start to finish. 3. Fixed the direction of Flicker.

New damage indicators on the battlefield. 3. Optimized the trigger rules for Jungling skills: The [Hunter] skill of Jungling Boots no longer deals sustained damage to Creeps after the Jungler dies. 4. Adjusted Flicker's default direction from the direction the hero faces to the Joystick direction. 5. When the Basic Attack is on cooldown, tapping the Attack button won't start pursuit (except for due to his unique Basic Attack). 6. Optimized Weakness Finder. Now it doesn't trigger on minions after cooldown. 7. Optimized the logic of 's movement when attacked by 's Ultimate. 8.
