Balance Adjustments
This patch also includes significant balance changes aimed at refining hero gameplay:
Deadpool
Deadpool's extreme mobility has been slightly reined in to address rapid cycle combos, specifically targeting the burst potential of Kick@$$ Katanas -> Hazardous Hijinks -> Bunny Hop maneuvers. His Bunny Bounce (Vanguard), Bunny Hop (Duelist), and Healing Hop (Strategist) abilities now have a 0.5s cooldown after a successful refresh, impacting only extreme inputs.
Elsa Bloodstone
Elsa Bloodstone's baseline durability has been reduced, with her base health dropping from 275 to 250. This change encourages players to rely more on her agility and offensive capabilities.
White Fox
White Fox receives several buffs to improve her survivability and team utility:
- Upon respawning or exiting Kumiho Unleashed (Ultimate Ability), White Fox now gains full stacks of Spirit Tail energy.
- Spectral Surge now provides 50 healing to White Fox upon casting.
- The one-time healing from Spirit Sanctuary has been reduced from 70 to 50, but it now provides 20/s Healing Over Time to allies (including White Fox) within its shield's range.
- During Kumiho Unleashed, casting Blessed by the Nine no longer consumes White Fox's Health, though it now has a 2s cooldown.
These adjustments aim to shift the meta and provide a more balanced competitive experience.
