Patch 1.8.20B
Season 30 Released October 18, 2023Patch 1.8.20B - Competitive Balance Adjustments
Official update released October 18, 2023. Key highlights: Hero Adjustments Battlefield Adjustments.
We're happy to see Mathilda back in action, but she was buffed a bit too much, so we're nerfing some aspects of her Ultimate to make her easier to counter.
Slightly reduced the range and speed of the second dash. Now that Rafaela has Slow Immunity, her Movement Speed bonus seems too hard to counter.
Compared to other "backline Supports", Angela can benefit more from equipment with Magic Bonuses because she can attach to teammates to avoid taking damage. So we're nerfing the Magic Bonuses for her skills.
Decreased Ixia's mid-late game damage potential.
Arlott's opponents now have enough time to react to his Ultimate after we increased the skill's animation time, so we are reverting the rest of the previous nerf.
Adjustments applied to Contract Soul Steal, Contract Chase Fate.
Fredrinn seems overly powerful and too versatile in the high-ranked play and tournaments, so we toned down his survivability.
We want to make Terizla less dominant while keeping him as a powerful EXP Laner during the laning phase.
Reduced the skill cooldown to slightly increase her damage.
