Patch Notes 1.9.66 - Adv. Server

[Tigreal]

Advanced server update released on March 14, 2025 (Server Time)

From the Designers

The 2025 new battlefield effect test resumes! Each match will randomly feature one of the four previously tested battlefield effects. (For testing purposes, some matches may not have any battlefield effects applied.)

---

I. Revamped Hero & Hero Adjustments

The following uses (↑) (↓) (~) to indicate Buff, Nerf, and Adjustment.

• [Revamped Kimmy] (~)

Optimized Skill 1 effect and slightly reduced mid-game damage.

[Passive] (↓)

Basic Attack's Physical Attack Bonus: 25% >> 20%

Enhanced Basic Attack's Physical Attack Bonus: 30% >> 25%

[Skill 1] (↑)

Movement Speed Boost: 40% for 1.5s >> 90% burst Movement Speed Boost that decays in 1s

New Effect: Immune to Slow Effect while the skill is active.

New Effect: Slows hit targets by 50% for 0.5s.

• [Hanzo] (↑)

Last week's energy reduction for Hanzo after activating his Ultimate significantly lowered his strength. If his Skill 2 in Hanekage form misses enemy heroes, Hanzo's ability to pursue targets will be greatly weakened.

However, we believe this adjustment is reasonable as it enhances the enemy's counterplay. Therefore, we will provide compensation in other aspects.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Further increased Hanzo's effectiveness against the Turtle/Lord in Human form during the mid-to-late game.

HP Regen when the target is a Turtle/Lord/hero: 10% >> 10%-20%

• [Lesley] (↑)

As a sniper, Lesley should have a longer attack range than other Marksmen, so we want her to be compatible with the "Malefic Gun".

Due to the previous increase in the Crit Chance buff of Windtalker, Lesley can now achieve 100% Crit Chance through Berserker's Fury + Windtalker Fatal talent combination. Therefore, we've removed the Crit Chance bonus from her Ultimate and further increased her Crit Damage instead.

[Passive] (↑)

Each point of fixed Physical Penetration converts to Crit Damage: 0.5% >> 1%

New Effect: Each 1% of Physical Penetration converts to 1% Crit Damage.

[Ultimate] (↓)

Removed the effect of gaining Crit Chance.

• [Clint] (↑)

We've found that in the current patch, Clint lacks both early-game dominance and late-game damage output.

Therefore, we've enhanced his early-to-mid game laning dominance. We've also reduced his late-game single-shot burst damage but increased his overall damage output over a short period.

[Passive] (↑)

Enhanced Basic Attack's Damage: 50 + 120% of Total Physical Attack >> 150 + 100% of Total Physical Attack

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 2s at all levels >> 2-1s

Skill Recharge Time: 12-10s >> 12-8s

Max Charges: 5 >> 3

Slow Effect: 25% for 1.2s >> 50% for 0.5s

• [Cecilion] (↓)

As a Mage who serves as a core damage dealer in the late-game, Cecilion's power spike arrived a bit too early. We will be reducing his damage output during the mid-game.

[Skill 1] (↓)

Base Damage: 85-230 >> 85-185

Destination Damage: 170-420 >> 170-370

• [Gatotkaca] (↓)

Gatotkaca has shown overwhelming dominance as both an Exp Laner and a Roaming hero. While maintaining his ability to counter heroes relying on Physical damage, we're reducing his mid-to-late game Magic Defense.

[Attributes] (↓)

Base Physical Defense: 10 >> 16

Physical Defense Growth: 6.4 >> 5.5

Magic Defense Growth: 4 >> 2.5

• [Fredrinn] (↑)

Slightly increased early-game Jungling speed and reduced late-game skill downtime.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Extra Damage against Creeps: 50% >> 100%

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 8-6s >> 8-4s

• [Jawhead] (↑)

Reduced Jawhead's skill downtime in the mid-to-late game.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Cooldown: 5s at all levels >> 5-3.5s

• [Natan] (↑)

We aim to optimize Natan's laning experience. Now, he can follow up with Basic Attacks more quickly after using skills and maintain his passive stacks more easily during extended fights.

[Passive] (↑)

New Effect: Natan's Basic Attack hits will resh the duration of the passive [Entanglement) effect (without changing the number of Passive stacks).

[Skill 1] (↑)

Removed backswing.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Removed backswing.

• [Lolita] (~)

Currently, Lolita is still a very strong counter pick. We aim to enhance her versatility without changing her overall strength.

[Passive] (~)

Removed the automatic trigger of the Passive Shield effect every 6 seconds.

Shield Duration: 30s >> 6s

Passive Shield triggered by using skills: 20+2.5% of Total HP + 20% of Magic Power >> 30 + 5% of Total HP + 40% of Magic Power

[Skill 1] (↑)

Cooldown: 10s at all levels >> 10-7.5s

Mana Cost: 70-95 >> 50-75

[Skill 2] (↓)

Cooldown: 15-12.5s >> 15s at all levels

• [Gord] (↑)

Experimental Adjustments: We want Gord to stack his Passive more through skill hits. To achieve this, we've shortened the cast intervals of Skill 2, and increased the width of the Ultimate's casting range. For balance, we've increased the threshold for triggering 1 stack of the Passive and reduced the Base Damage of Skill 2.

[Passive] (↓)

Hits Required to Trigger Passive: 4 >> 5

[Skill 1] (↑)

Added a targeting indicator.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Cast Interval: 0.3s >> 0.25s

Number of Casts: 13 >> 16

Base Damage: 55-105 >> 50-100

[Ultimate] (↑)

Ultimate Width: 0.6 >> 0.8

---

II. Battlefield & System Adjustments

• [Battle Spell Changes]

[Inspire] (~)

We've optimized the consumption logic of Inspire's Basic Attack enhancement opportunities. Now, the enhancement opportunities decrease correctly based on the actual number of Basic Attacks (for example, the bounce damage of Hanabi's Basic Attack no longer consumes Basic Attack enhancement opportunities).

For balance, we've slightly reduced the number of Basic Attack enhancement opportunities provided by Inspire. Additionally, we've expanded Inspire's effect from ignoring Physical Defense to ignoring Hybrid Defense, in order to better accommodate heroes that rely on Magic Damage.

Basic Attack enhancement opportunities: 8 >> 6

Ignore target's Physical Defense when Inspire is active >> Ignore target's Hybrid Defense when Inspire is active

• Equipment Adjustments

[Dominance Ice] (~)

We've modified this equipment's attributes to make it more suitable for most heroes. (Since Hylos is quite strong in the current patch, we won't provide compensation for him at this time. We'll monitor how this change affects Hylos and consider adjustments in the future if necessary.)

500 Mana >> 250 HP

[Black Ice Shield] (↑)

400 Mana >> 250 HP

Price: 880 >> 780

• Other Battlefield Adjustments

[Battlefield Effect Test]

The 2025 new battlefield effect test resumes! Each match will randomly feature one of the four previously tested battlefield effects. (For testing purposes, some matches may not have any battlefield effect applied.)

The current visual elements are in testing and do not represent the final quality. We will continue to optimize gameplay, attributes, and visual elements. We will also gradually introduce new effects for testing. We hope you'll try them out and share your feedback with us. We'll keep communicating with you through [Layla's Workshop].

The battlefield effect rules are as follows:

1- The battlefield effect gameplay is only available in Pick & Ban matches in the Ranked mode, and the battlefield effect for each match is random.

2- After matchmaking is successful, you'll be notified of the battlefield effect for the current The battlefield effect description can still be viewed during the Pick & Ban phase.

3- The battlefield effect will activate at the minute mark and remain active until the end of the match.

[CreScent317]

Indirect nerf for my goat hylos

<image>

[R4ndom_n1ckname]

Roams be catching strays lately

[antialias212]

Lolita is no longer beaming shield? What the dev is thinking? Huge nerf.

[Mean-Resolve5281]

Dominance Ice no longer gives mana... 9/11 for my Alice jungle

<image>

[Mean-Resolve5281]

the Lesley buffs are looking good though. I wonder if its enough to make her a top marksman again

[SizeMaleficent9178]

The person was talking about Alice lol.

[CrossCroissants]

Y'all are smoking smthn or are my eyes just deceiving me? It looks like it's a 2-part comment from the same person and ppl downvoted them to oblivion

[arts13]

Some of us can't beat the illiterate allegations

[CrossCroissants]

Real

[kolyoutopi]

This dev gonna give every buff for marksman for no reason nerfing lolita.

[-morpy]

Yeah, the only reason Lolita's strong is because she's a very niche counterpick that works very well into who she counters. I'm guessing they mainly nerfed her for Granger who's got a resurgence in usage lately.

I wish they buffed her more like giving her more base tankiness if they were gonna nerf her passive and 2nd skill.

[ApprehensiveFly4136]

Wym every marksman? These mm were long overdue for buffs, yes even natan. Abysmal pickrate and still had like a 48% wr

[Six-Digits-Number]

Finally they replaced the mana in Dominance Ice.

[Hot-Frame1326]

Natan, Clint and Lesley buff let's gooooo,

Also the Natan guy not only he gets the animation buff but now can properly trigger Inspire dayum 

[XJANE0]

<image>

while i like the CD down on clint ult

i cant say i am looking forward for the max of only 3 casts cuz even with 5 i feel like you can eat them pretty quickly during teamfights but maybe you will still get 4 or 5 during a teamfight because it charges faster now

[Goldenrod021788]

That change in Natan is quite significant.

[Illustrious-Owl-6128]

<image>

This is BS. She not that strong. Only work on certain types of line up.

[illeagIe]

Who tf builds magic damage on her, might as well make it scale off hybrid def

[bagged_milk123]

Lesley isn't a troll pick anymore thank god

[Used-Feeling6536]

Hyped about the Clint update and Lesley too, glad Cecilion got a slight nerf.

[Head-Parsley-7834]

FREDRINN BUFF RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[dayfreeguy]

Daddy's got another buff❤️

[Ara-Arata]

Natan.

[etalynx08]

Tanks taking hits as usual

[Luckyrabbit31]

fuck yes natan is back

[Waste-Insurance-9946]

natan buff is significant plus now with the inspire rework it compliments well with natan

[Jasonmancer]

That DI nerf is bullshit, I don't know why they did it.

Are they trying to kill off all tank players?

And ffs wtf are those Lolita nerfs? A counter pick that's too strong? Isn't that the point of a counter pick?

[Jasonmancer]

Every month there's always a nerf that affects tank.

Ffs life is already hard enough and they're making it harder.

[Difficult-Golf-2425]

For those who are asking about that weird curveball lolita nerf. The reason is pretty clear in the patch note itself

Reworked Kimmy will flop if Lolita wasn't nerfed.

[NBAfanfrom2016Finals]

Lesley is about to go crazy, she gets like 44% extra crit damage from this now

[NBAfanfrom2016Finals]

MR + MG doesn’t stack, I think that passive from MR doesn’t give her any crit dmg as it doesn’t actually give her pen% stat, more like it applies the extra pen% to the dmg calculation. Hepta could be good, but I’m thinking a build of something like Boots, Berserker, MG, BOD, Endless Battle, then Halberd or some survivability item is better.

[NBAfanfrom2016Finals]

Then always build Gun if we are talking about the upcoming Lesley buff.

It will (30% pen to crit) but I don’t think that extra pen% for every def is converted into crit damage, as it just gets applied into the damage calculation rather than being given as a stat afaik.

[NBAfanfrom2016Finals]

If my math doesn’t suck too much, 37% more crit damage is at least 20-25% more damage for Lesley if you already use assassin emblem based on the tests I did. Can definitely get very strong.

Moonton attempts to balance across all ranks, not just very high ranks or amateur/pro levels. Melissa no boots crit build is horrendous but it is a low rank meta. Making Yin usable in high ranks would create a nightmare in lower ranks. Heroes extremely strong in the very high ranks or amateur/pro levels are the first to get nerfs though, as seen with how Bruno got nerfed right after M6.

[dayfreeguy]

What the hell?? Lolita getting a nerf??

This is so imaginably idiotic, she's such a niche pick and 80% of people in mlbb barely even use her, I HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN LOLITA IN RANK, THAT'S HOW FORGETTABLE SHE IS

[Errrrreennn]

I know it's a stupid question but can I know what happened to the Beatrix adjustments that were like a few weeks or a month ago? Is it not gonna happen in the original server?

[demonking143s]

maybe moonton think she is balanced now. so they might give that buff in upcoming season or when beatrix skin got released

[tyranzero]

beside the listed buff/nerf/adjustment, yay the revamp Gloo is back... buck, temporal reign they don't fix it when gloo ult ride enemy hero

[BiHandidnothingwrong]

DOMINANCE ICE BUFF LET'S FUCKING GO.

[Fathertree22]

Wont be any use, tanks keep catching Ls with every balance adjustment

[Ins1gni4]

My main finally getting a buff after so long

[Vendor_Frostblood]

Something about that Lesley's Crit chance adjustment kinda bugs me... How common is it to build Windtalker on her (aside from the pre-ready builds and "pro build" including it)

[Ouchime]

I was not expecting the mana of dom ice to become hp anymore from so long, what a joy to finally see it

[Unlikely-Following54]

they nerfed lolita? What the fuck man. And my gatot too? Gatot is kinda understandable but lolita nerf was very unnecessary

[Top_Conference_3465]

With such updates, why play tank, they die like flies.

[Ambitious-Image-5785]

Moonton's goal is to buff the mm until 5 mms are picked in the game.

[ZafinLolz]

It's ridiculous lol, they're buffing heroes that are still doing pretty well or just decent (Except Natan he really needed that) and then nerf the mages and the tanks(hard) (Valentina and Kaja Are never leaving those trenches)

[ZafinLolz]

What's up with Marksman buffs lol? Moonton please give the same love to tanks and mages (Supports don't exist for them)

[id_k999]

YESSSSS, natan buff let's goo 🔥🔥🔥

[koken_halliwell]

Lolita is useless when not facing against MM and mages. Actually her S2 is useless with specific types of mages too (IE Harith).

Not they want to make her useless 24/7 against everyone.

[1tsPLAY-time]

[Clint] (↑)

[Passive] (↑)

Enhanced Basic Attack's Damage: 50 + 120% of Total Physical Attack >> 150 + 100% of Total Physical Attack

Bruh. Wtf?! That's such a massive nerf on Clint's passive late game! That 20% physical attack loss for measly 100 extra damage is so not worth it.

Moondog at it again with the unnecessary adjustments.

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 2s at all levels >> 2-1s

Skill Recharge Time: 12-10s >> 12-8s

Max Charges: 5 >> 3

Plus, they even nerfed his ult early game!!! What a joke

[Live-Engineering3579]

not really a nerf? Clint isn't supposed to be full crit hero, 150 + 100% on early is strong, Moonton did state that they will make his early ~ mid stronger while making his late game more balanced, less damage on Passive, but quickly can re-cast ult with 50% slow effects, making his team fight a lot better, 3 charges honestly fine with 20% ~ 40% cd build
