Snack Time! Crash Course Overtime Shortcut
All Documented Modifications (5)
Designer Note
SA Support/Tank hero who can use portals to roam the battlefield and support his allies. Available on 3/16 (Server Time). Chip is a carefree, genetically enhanced fox from Laboratory 1718. He got his name from his love of snacking on chips while lying on his hovercraft. Chip is a Support/Tank hero. He can utilize his hovercraft to teleport around (and to slack off). His Special Skill allows him to quickly traverse the map, and his Ultimate allows him to gather all his teammates in one spot.
Snack Time!
liquipedia ↗
Chip starts eating potato chips when out of combat, regenerating lost HP after finishing a whole bag.
Crash Course
liquipedia ↗
Chip rams his hovercraft into the ground, dealing damage and applying marks on enemy heroes while gaining a shield. Chip's next Basic Attack will become ranged, hitting all nearby enemies with marks and stunning them.
Overtime
liquipedia ↗
Chip rushes forward, gaining increased Movement Speed and causing his next Basic Attack to charge at the target, dealing damage and knocking them back.
Shortcut
liquipedia ↗
Chip drops the Main Portal on an enemy hero, and also creates Connecting Portals near allied heroes and behind the allied Base. Connecting Portal: Heroes can teleport from Connecting Portals to the Main Portal and gain Burst Movement Speed, or stand on the Main Portal for a period of time to return to the Connecting Portal they came from. Main Portal: Deals damage to nearby targets after a delay and slows them. Main Portal inherits a portion of Chip's Attributes.

Masha
Masha hero Adjusted

Adjustments applied to Ancient Strength, Wild Power, Howl Shock, Thunderclap.

Ancient Strength Wild Power Howl Shock Thunderclap Life Recovery
All Documented Modifications (6)
Designer Note
We want Masha to be the one leading the charge and bravely fighting in a crowd, while maintaining her role as a Tank, Fighter, or DPS Berserker. In this patch, we've removed Masha's passive that doesn't grant Defense. Now she will enhance herself each time she loses an HP bar and reset her Ultimate for her to spam skills. We also optimized her Energy Regen experience, granting her better control over her HP.
Ancient Strength
liquipedia ↗
When Masha only has two HP bars left, skills will only require half of their original HP Cost to cast. When Masha only has one HP bar left, she doesn't need to spend HP to cast skills.
Wild Power
liquipedia ↗
Passive: Masha gains Power of the Wild which causes her Basic Attacks to deal extra Physical Damage equal to a percentage of the enemy's Max HP. Active: Masha spends some HP to increase her Movement and Attack Speed, enhance the next two Basic Attacks, increase the extra damage from Power of the Wild, and gain extra Energy.
Howl Shock
liquipedia ↗
Masha spends some HP to roar at enemies, dealing Physical Damage and reducing their Attack Speed.
Thunderclap
liquipedia ↗
Masha spends some HP to lunge at an enemy hero (immune to control effects during the lunge), dealing Physical Damage, slowing them, and knocking back nearby enemies. The cooldown of this skill will be reset each time Masha loses an HP bar.
Life Recovery
liquipedia ↗
Masha gains Energy when dealing damage and can accumulate up to 100. She gains a great amount of Energy when hitting with her Skill 1. After leaving combat for 3s, Masha can spend 50 Energy to recover a full HP bar.

All Documented Modifications (2)
Designer Note
Due to her Passive, Layla can only deal a lot of damage to enemies from a distance, but her lack of mobility makes it difficult for her to get away from enemies. So we'll lower the damage bonus and increase her attack instead.

Adding Stun to Guinevere's Skill 2 has benefited Guinevere players' control experience, but as a Fighter, she is now too powerful against enemy back-row heroes. Meanwhile, the Concentrated Energy adjustment can be considered a buff, and we want to prevent it from being overpowered again.
