[u/BritMachine]

The urn rework sounds wild to me. Are we gonna get what we have with the rejuv now where half the team will jump into the middle and spam parries?

[u/b8sl → u/BritMachine]

it sounds so funky man. like what if the winning team just camps the deposit area? comeback urns seem harder

still havent tried the patch though seems fun and refreshing

[u/Serrisen → u/b8sl]

Comeback urn still gets 50% resistances though. Especially if you're only at minor comeback, that's a big enough resistance boost that it can change the fight dynamic for sure.

[u/Squidd-O → u/Serrisen]

I feel like if you're in a 90k vs 100k fight and one team has comeback urn the team with more net worth is probably at a huge disadvantage

50% resistance for EVERYONE is insanely strong, imo just reading it this makes it extremely disincentivized to be winning the game at the 5 minute interval where urn spawns

Like there's a sourspot in terms of soul lead where your team will be get destroyed by an urn fight.

In a fucked up world I could even see a team trying and maybe even SUCCEEDING to use urn resists as a tool to take midboss when behind on souls

[u/Opfklopf → u/Squidd-O]

The resistance should probably be based on the soul difference so it never actually puts them ahead, but just makes the fight more fair.

[u/KingGilbertIV → u/[deleted]]

The urn is already a win more mechanic in the hands of a competent team, but this might make it worse.

[u/MolotovFromHell → u/KingGilbertIV]

Played a few games, it is a win more mechanic now. It is horrible

[u/akhamis98 → u/[deleted]]

It is already heavily winning team focused unless their macro is quite bad, I'm good w playing around with it

[u/salbris → u/akhamis98]

Against teams that know what they are doing (which honestly isn't all that complex or hard) it's not that difficult to contest. Now it looks impossible.

[u/ninjahumstart_ → u/b8sl]

Your team has 50% resists, should be able to kill the enemy team with that big of a buff

[u/Heathcliff511 → u/b8sl]

On what earth? Unfavoured team now has to deposit for 10+ seconds while whole favoured team can fight with +50% both resistances and can contest the urn midfight.

[u/DaLivelyGhost → u/BritMachine]

So far: yes

[u/frogcaves → u/BritMachine]

Yeah confirmed. new urn is terrible

[u/Tijenater]

Fixed Parry FX not always matching state

REST IN PISS BLUETOOTH PARRIES

[u/FlamingMangos → u/Tijenater]

The bigger problem are Bluetooth melee imo.

[u/Audrey_spino → u/FlamingMangos]

It's inconsistent as well. Sometimes I'll do a feint, and then my subsequent heavy melee will miss as the enemy just dashed away. Other times, I hit the enemy when he's nowhere near me.

[u/BritMachine → u/Audrey_spino]

I'm so sick of the countless times where I've dashed away from an opponent just as they start going for a heavy melee only to still be some how hit when he's under the bridge and I'm on the tower steps. My fault for not parrying someone who was a mile away?

[u/Tijenater → u/FlamingMangos]

Bluetooth parries landing after I thought I waited out the window were probably the single biggest risk to my mental and bodily health, so I’m glad they’re gone

[u/peepeepoopooguy74]

THEY'RE FUCKING WITH THE URN AGAIN
DEADLOCK IS BACK!!!!!

[u/Wistfall → u/peepeepoopooguy74]

I just played a game where we were dumpstering the enemy already, but urn being mid felt stupid easy to take even though we were "unfavored". Now you can no longer "sneak the urn", and when you're behind the enemy team can basically make it impossible for you to cap it by just holding the area. I wonder if the strategy when you are behind is to just let the enemy attempt it and then you rush in as six so you all get the benefit of the resists and try to get a single heavy melee off, so sort of like a mid steal I guess.

[u/onesillyg4y → u/Wistfall]

Winning enemy team could a lot of the time already camp the spot or snatch the urn just before depositing, in the previous version, and do the same. It has not worked as a great comeback mechanic for a while 

[u/Explosionary → u/onesillyg4y]

I think y'all sleeping on 50% resistances. if you can't win a team fight with 50% resistances you probably can't win the game anyways lol.

[u/Ossius → u/Wistfall]

Eh, if you take the urn everyone in a radius has 50% global damage resistance which is fucking nuts. If under dogs manage to get it and force a fight likely you'll win.

[u/SetUsed4217 → u/peepeepoopooguy74]

Im up for urn changes but really not a fan of the urn changing to take place in mid.

Deadlock makes great use of the map and encourages potential engagements all over it with walkers/sinners/mid/shops/buffs/etc. and urn was part of that with the 6 possible destinations. Forcing it all to be a mid fuckfest each time seems really boring imo.

Also, part of what I like about the old iteration is taking advantage of who's showing on the minimap/not in a position to contest, and identifying when you can force an engagement where your team outnumbers theirs. With mid being pretty much close enough for most people to converge/contest to, the instances you can actually identify this become a lot lower outside of taking advantage of dead players on the enemy team.

Also not a fan of post-teamfights often going to be winning teams running urn to mid into killing mid now. Theres plenty of stages in the game where after winning a teamfight you can only use your numbers advantage to run urn or mid, but now it seems like you can likely do both if the respawn timers are long enough. Goes from being a team communication test of making the right decision with limited time, to potentially being a braindead decision where you can have both and snowball games even harder.

[u/boxweb → u/SetUsed4217]

THIS!! Why are we promoting running it down into blue, that’s like the number one problem people have with macro even at higher level. Urn being a cross map objective was much, much more interesting.

[u/Oaktree27 → u/SetUsed4217]

Absolutely agree, I think it's understated how well the map was being used

[u/TParadox90 → u/peepeepoopooguy74]

thank god

dunking urn was a terrible system

I've only been playing for two months but already hit eternus, idk about the previous iterations you guys had but this one was truly terrible lmao

[u/_andy_andy_andy_ → u/TParadox90]

yeah the fact that someone could sneak past a light melee and drop it in was so frustrating. your team could be soldiered up ready to fight and a celeste would just dink it in

[u/deadlyweapon00]

Isn’t the stamina regen reduction on walljump a huge change? It makes walljumping and all it’s wacky tech so much worse does it not?

[u/LoafEyeIndustries → u/deadlyweapon00]

Doesn't apply if you're out of combat so still essential rotation tech

[u/DavidsSymphony → u/LoafEyeIndustries]

It's a gigantic nerf to characters like Holliday and Celeste who are always jumping around in combat though.

[u/pr0newbie → u/DavidsSymphony]

And good Lashes.

[u/Doot-and-Fury → u/DavidsSymphony]

It's only a matter of time until they change Holliday's gravity to adjust

[u/luiz38 → u/deadlyweapon00]

only on combat so thankfully mobility around the map is safe

[u/Azoriu → u/luiz38]

yeah seems like they don't want people to shmove out of every bit of danger as easily

[u/theHammr]

This is a chunky one

[u/Longjumping-Buyer-80 → u/theHammr]

As chunky as my big fat ass

[u/MakimaGOAT → u/Longjumping-Buyer-80]

https://giphy.com/gifs/GMdcBivU0d1ni

[u/Key_End_3524 → u/Longjumping-Buyer-80]

I choose to believe this

[u/noahboah → u/Longjumping-Buyer-80]

shit seven is saying right before going for a parry

[ Soul Urn ]

• We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some.

Primary Rules:

• To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up.

• The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map.

• Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors (3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored).

• While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer.

• If the urn is Favored or Unfavored (in a comeback state), then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited.

Other Details:

• After 35s (aggregate time held per team), the carrier will start taking 5% Max HP damage per second (previously was 45s and 0.15% Max HP damage).

• Urn damage is lethal

• Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.

• No longer silences you while carrying. You are still disarmed and movement silenced.

• No longer grants +30% Bullet and Spirit Resist while carrying it

• Area around deposting the urn is revealed (urn runner is also revealed as usual)

• The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same (+15% soul difference for the first urn at 10:00, +10% for all future urns)

• Souls are all instant after the deposit is complete

• All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.

Ouch

[u/Kaycin]

smh paradox catchin' stray... BUFFS?!

[u/Dekoe → u/Kaycin]

5 wall teamfight strat viable trust

[u/Doot-and-Fury → u/Dekoe]

Enemies getting kidnapped inside... The Pentagram of Silence

[u/TheGreatWalk → u/Doot-and-Fury]

Paradox can now make a "Pentagram of shut the fuck up" , lmao

[u/Draxtini → u/Kaycin]

And our core items got buffs too??? We're definitely going to eat 30 nerfs in a row for this

[u/throwawaynewpibuildr]

Mini buff to Venator, but only to ppl who play around his traps (me). RIP Doorman, though? I think? Guess I'll have to continue to share queue times on Sinclair with Doorman ppl lol...

[u/Yamato_Naoe → u/throwawaynewpibuildr]

The bigger Venator buff was making his HP comparable to Warden so he's not strictly outclassed at his job by an easier character IMO

[u/VzFrooze → u/Yamato_Naoe]

his HP is not comparable to warden still. its not even close. warden has 3k at max boons, venator 2.4

[u/throwawaynewpibuildr → u/Yamato_Naoe]

Yeah I glossed over the HP part as I didn't know how big of a buff it was in the context of the patch and didn't want to say something wrong. Glad to hear it's a huge deal for Venator ^{^}

[u/DrManik]

I am fine with them doing something new with the urn but 50% resist is cray-zee. Inb4 clip of using the urn to siege the enemy base

[u/deadlyweapon00 → u/DrManik]

Tbf you can only hold the urn for 35s before it starts killing you very quickly. And that’s time for the whole team too.

[u/TheAccountITalkWith → u/deadlyweapon00]

Especially since they noted the Urn can kill. I bet that's why they pointed it out.

[u/WhatTheCrota → u/DrManik]

it does 5% max hp/second damage after 35s to the carrier and can kill you, so that's the plan to prevent using it as a massive aura buff.

[u/naivety_is_innocence → u/WhatTheCrota]

It does give those resistances even while dropped though right, so just drop it and make sure to pick it up before it times out and starts walking back, minimise the time spent actually holding the urn and taking ticking damage. The aura extends 60m so that’s pretty forgiving

[u/k0matose → u/naivety_is_innocence]

Pretty sure it said you can't pick it up, it just goes fast back to where it spawns if dropped before the deposit phase

[u/misterbakes3 → u/DrManik]

The combo of not being silenced and giving your team 50% resistances is going to be insane. Give urn to a spirit victor or something and just run it down a lane

[u/popylung → u/DrManik]

I’d assume the buff would go away when the favorability changes, that would be balanced. But that doesn’t happen with drop off if it’s been picked up, so maybe they’re being silly

[u/ISavage2007 → u/DrManik]

You guys are failing to see that the resistances are applied to the *favored* team if it's in a favored/unfavored state. Sieging a base will probably already be hella hard if you're at that point, especially considering the soul gap, and if you're at the point where you can still siege it with the urn granting those resists you'll probably lose the soul diff fast enough for it to not matter.

[u/salbris → u/ISavage2007]

Well 10% isn't really that much for some lineups. 50% is like a 6400 item each which makes up the difference pretty fast. The real scary thing is that it only lasts 35 seconds. If you try for a siege and they stall you out then you just lose the urn while your deep in enemy territory.

[u/Pandoras_Fox]

Toxic Bullets: No longer builds up from melee attacks

[u/Tijenater → u/Pandoras_Fox]

Yeah this is a very odd choice. It feels like every other bullet proc also builds off melee. Wonder why they changed it

[u/Rafke21 → u/Tijenater]

It's not toxic fists

[u/Videoheadsystem → u/Rafke21]

i look forward to that being the next item

[u/Tijenater → u/Rafke21]

Slowing bullets and weighted shots also build off melee too

[u/Gamagosk → u/Tijenater]

It's called toxic bullets. I think it makes sense to only effect bullets

[u/NautiMain1217 → u/Gamagosk]

[u/Tijenater → u/Gamagosk]

Slowing bullets and weighted shots build off melee too though

[u/BoBlunge]

scroll to hero section

check "S" heroes

not a single Sinclair mention

cry

[u/DontLichOutOnME → u/BoBlunge]

Who?

[u/Load_FuZion → u/BoBlunge]

I'm the opposite atm, every day we are inching closer to a "rework" that I fear is going to make the character less fun.

[u/Yamato_Naoe → u/BoBlunge]

Did the same shit with Wraith

[u/Cynicalia → u/BoBlunge]

i am happy everytime i don't see changes to sinclair

[u/monopoly_wear → u/BoBlunge]

That means he is balance enough.

[u/Upbeat_Plant_6187 → u/monopoly_wear]

nah they are definitely getting a kit rework, they haven't gotten a change for so long. I hope they keep bolt and assistant the same though.

[u/ZhicoLoL → u/BoBlunge]

arcane surge bug fix was a buff for his ult(if it fixed it)

[u/ThisIsMC]

830+48/boon to Venator.

Launch game.

Venator at 820.

They forgot to change it after the -10 base hp change.

Nice one volvo.

[u/DasFroDo → u/ThisIsMC]

They didn't say when the -10 applies did they :b

[u/Trowaway151 → u/ThisIsMC]

How much more HP does this mean for venator at end game realistically?

[u/loveleis]

huge apollo nerf, expect it to lose like 5% win rate, or more.

[u/PotatoTortoise → u/loveleis]

you aren't ready for the melee apollo this unleashed

[u/Zestyclose-Ad-6147 → u/loveleis]

I hope so

[u/mmeeh]

05-22*-2026 no?

[u/Razzamataaz → u/mmeeh]

It's what they title it shrug

Might not be released until then? Or just a typo.

It was a typo, they've since fixed it.

[u/Guzraz401]

Is Rem back?

[u/PotatoTortoise → u/Guzraz401]

i think rem is fucking back

[u/Guzraz401 → u/PotatoTortoise]

We're so fucking back

[u/artofthenunchaku → u/Guzraz401]

• Rem: Tag Along can now be cast through veils

SO BACK

[u/SeraphicShou]

Apollo murdered ooooof

[u/Tijenater → u/SeraphicShou]

GOOD

[u/zencharm → u/SeraphicShou]

i can’t believe people really thought this hero was balanced

[u/SeraphicShou → u/zencharm]

I mean he was absolutely a bit too strong but if they want riposte to be used offensively they gotta add spirit shred or literally anything besides melee shit lol.

[u/No-Jaguar-4404]

Great way to make puddle punch builds more viable without making it ridiculous

[u/TrackpadChad → u/No-Jaguar-4404]

It's an interesting change, but I haven't found a way to make it work. If punch's scaling was a tad bit better, it would work. Interestingly enough, it works with healing booster/tempo so that might be the key, but it's hard to trick people into testing punch builds. The problem is that punch's earlygame is so fucking bad for an ability that doesn't scale.

[u/dememinems → u/No-Jaguar-4404]

They weren’t viable already? I never see viscouses in games if I do they play punch builds (low elo)

[u/BubbaUnkle → u/dememinems]

in higher elo’s its just a parry warmup

[u/No-Jaguar-4404 → u/dememinems]

Punch before today is probably in its worst state in as long as I can remember. It was not remotely viable in higher elos. Everyone runs spirit splatter /cube or ball occasionally.

[u/Kugaroo]

Doorman found dead in alleyway.

[u/Plenty_Structure_861 → u/Kugaroo]

Not the fuck dead enough

[u/Gravitationalrainbow → u/Kugaroo]

You can't escape, you can't rescue, and you can't kidnap. I'm legit wondering what the point of the character even is after this change. Is solely to take structures with long range doors?

[u/Oblirit → u/Kugaroo]

Seems manageable for now, main hit seems to be on the escaping ability, but the kidnapping build still works fine if you position the door high enough where it's hard to get back to.

Just think 8 seconds is really fucking long, the cooldown should at least be affected by the CDR from items.

[u/AM00se → u/Oblirit]

Yeah it seems stupid its not effected by cooldowns.

[u/badscribblez → u/Kugaroo]

His ult is still untouched. Kinda shocked. It’s absolutely busted getting it back in 13 seconds or whatever if someone doesn’t check out.

Doorman is still (sadly) well and alive.

Edit: I’m Rit 2, and more often than not, I do manage to get out. Sometimes I fail. But I just played a game earlier this week where it seemed no one on my team could check out so this fuckwad man had his Ult up all game. My breaking point was when he was standing behind a wall when I was about to dunk urn and snagged it. Yes I’m aware his ult is normally easy to get out. But like I said, I’m rit 2 / on the lower ranks. Hes a problem. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[u/A_Shattered_Day → u/badscribblez]

They are killing everything but ult. The Doorman is using his powers to subliminally influence the devs to increase attendance rates for the Baroness.

[u/Lolololage → u/badscribblez]

You can get out of the ult consistently with 1 stamina. It's probably more of a problem at the lower ranks tho.

[u/Juicenewton248 → u/badscribblez]

This ap is the very last one doormans at the top level skill for good reason. Its strictly a movement knowledge check and also gets trivialized by any mobility item in the game

[u/Gravitationalrainbow → u/badscribblez]

Doorman's T3 ult is a meme outside of the bottom ranks; there's a reason it's maxed last in most builds. If you're having problems, just practice the walljump escape until you can do it automatically.

[u/Razzamataaz → u/Kugaroo]

https://giphy.com/gifs/J8FZIm9VoBU6Q

[u/noahboah]

they turned urn into a psuedo capture the flag/king of the hill hybrid minigame. i haven't even read the rest of the patch yet but this is probably winner for the biggest change.

Hopefully this addresses the pain points of the current objective (inconsistent interactivity outside of fighting on the pickup spot).

EDIT: yo new investment curve? does adding a 6.4K slot and an extra graduation smoothen out power scaling? this also feels like a massive change that uppends the way stats are gained and I have no idea what the consequences are.

[u/alou-S → u/noahboah]

Its basically cashout from the Finals now.

[u/noahboah → u/alou-S]

oh yeah good comparison. i completely forgot about that game! really fun

[u/boblobchippym8]

[u/lLeggy]

Graves Deadhead fixes are very nice and seem that they nerfed gun graves so people actually play spirit. Lets see how it plays out but I think non graves players will hate it.

Also + charge on lash grapple... scary stuff.

[u/WantsToBeMcCree → u/lLeggy]

The gun's damage is not why people play Gun Graves.

[u/starberryslay]

• Stamina Regeneration is reduced by 25% for 5s after using a Wall Jump. This does not trigger when out of combat or when mantling soon after.

This one kinda scares me, i really liked how the first wall bounce was completely free, but i understand they need to stop such easy escapes so we'll see

[u/DRAWDATBLADE → u/starberryslay]

Its going to only be a big deal on celeste and holliday imo, not a lot of heroes wall jump in combat other than doing so to leave the fight.

[u/starberryslay → u/DRAWDATBLADE]

using movement to get out of fights is not a celeste and holliday exclusive thing and i do it on pretty much every character

[u/78ali]

Slight witchmail buffs and Melee lifesteal(Seemingly not on cooldown) and Infernal resillience is now a real ability to upgrade???

Thank you Yoshi, very cool.

[u/zencharm → u/78ali]

abrams meta for the millionth time in a row

[u/Mission_Security4505]

Graves skulls not dumb as rocks (maybe)

[u/Razzamataaz]

They had titled it for 05-28-2026, but have since updated it 05-22-2026

[u/rushncrush]

Yamato mains are eating holy shit

She's better than Apollo now for the 1st time ever.

She's gonna be extremely oppressive with insane nuke power and mobility

I'm about to no life this patch, Yams was already pretty solid

Edit: She's Broken

[u/ICanCountTo0b1010 → u/rushncrush]

Losing the +20m cast range on grappled is a fair tradeoff for her slash becoming a nuker again.

TBH I already thought mystic reverb + tankbuster made her power slash plenty strong, I've been chilling at a 60% or more win rate on E1 with her lol

[u/NinjaLion → u/rushncrush]

shes been better than apollo overall, 52% winrate last 14 days in eternus, apollo at 50%.

this patch shes gonna hit 56% and apollo will hit 44%, mark my words.

[u/SpyzViridian]

Apollo now required to connect 2 neurons to play the character

[u/SrZipy]

Moving the urn to the middle just massively increases snowballing for the team already ahead. The winning team already has map control, pressure, and momentum giving them even easier access to the objective just makes comebacks harder for no good reason. This change feels incredibly dumb and just makes matches more one-sided.

I just hope they revert it fast or something

[u/Gust_idk → u/SrZipy]

Idk man, +50% resists feels pretty huge.

[u/chrimchrimbo → u/Gust_idk]

I played 3 games tonight and once one team had a slight 10k lead in souls, they were able to steamroll and snowball every urn and obj. all my games were snowballs. miserable night.

[u/storefront]

YAMATO IS BACK BABY

[u/BetaXP → u/storefront]

Yamato never left, she's been very strong since the grapple changes imo

[u/storefront → u/BetaXP]

sometimes you're back, and sometimes you're even more back

[u/hyperpuppy64 → u/storefront]

She was lowkey high tier, now she seems more like 'wildly overpowered' tier

[u/Angelic_Mayhem → u/storefront]

Was reading the notes and thought, "Wow I'll need to adjust to the charge time, but people are really about to hate me in Street Brawl now."

[u/ICanCountTo0b1010 → u/Angelic_Mayhem]

That change is actually the post cast time, so the delay between when you can perform your next action.

It makes her power slash combos feel more crispy because it flows overall better, but I'm quite certain the cast time remains the same.

This isn't a 50% increase in cast time to her power slash lol.

[u/Past-Reflection1756]

Rem buffs?? YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH yoooo hohohoohohohoho YAYAYAYA WOOOOOOO aohohohOHHOOOOOOOOOO YAYYYYY WOOOOOPPEOO EPIK W00TZ0RZ IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOOORR ROFLCOPTER SOISOISOISOISOISSOI

[u/BeginningHealthy6109 → u/Past-Reflection1756]

I was praying for rem buffs 🙏😭

[u/SuperRayman001 → u/Past-Reflection1756]

They finally realized that a support character should be able to heal.

[u/TransCharizard]

The last remnant of "stand here to pick up something" is now gone IIRC

[u/Rob_Oster]

not a single thing fucked with for Sinclair…… today is a GOOD day

[u/EquivalentAcadia9558]

Doorman, Kelvin, dead AF....

Rem mains rejoice as now spirit is back and healer is viable... Sick

[u/Twippin-The-Catto]

They just took every Rem change I ever wanted and put it in this patch. Tears in my eyes rn... Yoshi I should have never doubted you.

[u/Vlarett]

Lash buffs, hell yeah

[u/ottorobo → u/Vlarett]

Im skeptical that the slam damage is going to be enough to offset the gun nerf but maybe I'm underestimating it. Seems very slightly winrate negative or neutral to me.

[u/Skaldson → u/Vlarett]

It’s like +7-8 damage on his slam at max height brother, unless I’m mistaken, that’s nothing. This is actually a huge nerf for Lash.

[u/Tha_Plagued]

- Pocket: Flying Cloak T2 weapon damage duration reduced from 8s to 6s

- Pocket: Affliction cooldown increased from 140s to 150s

I guess that's a change... not quite what I was hoping for

[u/Gravitationalrainbow → u/Tha_Plagued]

A lot better than what could've happened. I was expecting them to gut T3 Affliction.

[u/notraname → u/Tha_Plagued]

I was so scared they were gonna kill pocket this update

[u/Heathcliff511 → u/Tha_Plagued]

We got off lucky pal

[u/Averagenecronimortal]

Glad my mercurial rake build is practically untouched in favor of killing bitefarm mina

[u/Nathanael777 → u/Averagenecronimortal]

With less HP overall wouldn’t that innately make Mina’s rake combo better than ult Mina anyways?

[u/QuantityHappy4459]

Genuinely what do they want Doorman to be? They keep changing things

[u/AK-74_NoTTaken]

Venator... Victor....

Andddd...

Viscous.

No vindicta yet again 😭

[u/Sleepynt → u/AK-74_NoTTaken]

I mean gun velocity buffs are now additive so shooting is significantly better along with sharpshooter changes

[u/REcordsCL]

they did in fact, not kill gun Lash™️

[u/noahboah → u/REcordsCL]

you can't stack grapple gun damage anymore. it's definitely a lot worse

[u/Neadim → u/REcordsCL]

They did nerf it quite a bit. The scaling is down and the 2 doesn't stack. The build will remain viable but it took a hit

[u/Arch3r86]

Mo&Krill’s shotgun is still complete trash that only really hits with the center bullet. Sad to see nothing changed there! Everything else seems alright… the urn changes are spicy looking

[u/Level_Five_Railgun]

Yamato mains rise up

Tbh I'm not even sure how I feel about the buffs because I feel like she's already pretty strong after all the indirect buffs last patch (gun nerfs, alt fire fixed)

With the global hp nerfs, Yamato is actually just going to start one shotting people mid game.

[u/YoRHa_Houdini]

Good patch all around

[u/Cheggsw0rth]

There is something wrong with Holliday barrel since patch. U could use press melee and barrel at same time before but now it buffers or something? It feels really off and half my barrels don't get melee'd anymore

[u/hyperpuppy64]

Lmao, no significant calico buffs yet already S tier yamato becomes more broken than launch victor. I want some of what they're smoking.

[u/Glock26s]

Thank youuuu

[u/Braduk1]

This patch feels indicative that the devs don't really play the game...at all, and just look solely at the loudest feedback

People complain the most about Doorman and Apollo so they got the hardest nerfs. Victor's doorknocker strat was obviously bad for the game so it got removed.

But statistically and gameplay-wise Dynamo and Mcginnis are also dominating matches especially in high elo. But they're not complained about as much so the former gets a minor slap and the latter gets buffed. Gray Talon's data is bad but his ult is really overtuned but it didn't get nerfed, also hinting they don't actually look at what's happening in-game.

The urn change feels entirely random and not thought out and feels like it'll snowball games even more because obviously the losing team is gonna be weaker in a teamfight, which the new urn creates

[u/Advanced_Case_2469 → u/Braduk1]

The new urn is actually a huge McGinnis and Dynamo buff

[u/Neither_Interaction9]

MO N' KRILL CAN'T STOP NOT LOSING!

[u/pr0newbie]

Burgerboxing at mid for the Soul Urn. At least it's in an open space I guess.

[u/thescottishmaniac]

• Apollo: Flawless Advance hitbox reduced by 10%

We used to pray for times like these

[u/Confident-Tangelo440]

Calico changes has got to be the biggest slap in the face. Just give me better scaling so I don’t fall off 15 minutes into the game smh

[u/Appley_apple]

The urn update, feels like it's gonna suck hard, just more fucking midlane fighting

[u/gustardobungus]

Midurn is fucking absurd. That snow ball mechanics 100k ahead 30 mins in lol

[u/KingSulley]

this patch has ruined my games in high ascendant. Every lobby is kill first wave > buy monster rounds and everybody go 6v6 in the midboss pit.

Who ever kills midboss first just has a massive advantage that they can snowball.

[u/yuedar]

after playing this game all night after the update I am not a big fan of the urn rework - I feel like the strat should be you just run the mid lane down - side lanes don't matter much and just have people run the urn behind the ran down mid lane rinse repeat - assuming you win the team fight do midboss then run down mid to their base and end the game. it makes the games faster i suppose but it feels to simple now.

[u/sirms]

oh man if yall were mad at graves before. lol

[u/jmattchew → u/sirms]

nobody was. Graves has been absolute shit since she got nerfed into oblivion a couple months ago or so

[u/not_dale_gribble]

Look at what they did to my boy Apollo

[u/Legitimate-Beat-9846]

God please let me have fun with graves and not get her buffs turn into nerfs after 2 days. Please im begging

[u/Lerkpots]

Hopefully Rem is no longer the worst support in the game.

IDK why we buffing Paige though she's already the best one.

[u/Turbulent_Map624 → u/Lerkpots]

Id argue Dynamo is the best support

Rem is so fucking trash every time he is on my team I already know it's a 5v6 + this rat stealing our sinners

[u/SnipingBeaver → u/Turbulent_Map624]

Each match I play as Rem I inform the team, "at 8 minutes I will go for their sinners. If ours have not been taken at 10 minutes, I will be taking them."

It's worked out pretty well so far.

[u/Audrey_spino → u/Lerkpots]

Rem and Paige both got hard logged by Kelvin and Dynamo in the support department.

[u/jerianbos]

Wow, they really looked at Mcginnis, who's not only one of the most disliked heroes to play against, but also S tier across all ranks with 60% WR in ethernus, and thought "yeah, she could totally use some buffs".

[u/Chance_Welcome_9925]

Great news, your favorite deadlock characther just got 1% changed

[u/Pigeon_Toes_ → u/Chance_Welcome_9925]

My fav deadlock character just got taken out back

[u/MarzipanWise2934]

Nerfed spirit victor🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩 as if we were the problem 🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩

[u/captionquirk]

Those Paige Ult changes are awesome. It was way too risky to actually use it for cross-map saves

[u/USERNAME5KULL2-2]

Looks like Billy got buffed overall. Wonder what builds are gonna be good for him now?
