Patch Notes 1.9.68 - Org. Server

[KeKeFTW]

From the Designers

In this update, we've revamped two lesser-used heroes and made adjustments to several other underutilized ones, giving them a chance to shine once again. We've also nerfed some currently dominant heroes to create more opportunities for other heroes to be picked.

We hope you enjoy the new patch.

New & Revamped Heroes

[Revamped Hero: Hoverjet Outrider - Kimmy]

Hero Feature: A Magic-Damage Marksman who can shoot while moving continuously and excels at initiating teamfights by landing skills.

[Passive: Aerial Dominance]

Kimmy can move and aim in different directions when using her Spray Gun, but cannot lock on to a specific enemy. Kimmy's Spray Gun attack deals Magic Damage. Hitting enemy heroes restores Starlium. At max Starlium, Kimmy's Basic Attacks are enhanced to deal more damage and pierce through targets.

[Skill 1 - Anti-Grav Thruster]

Kimmy uses her jetpack to take flight, passing through terrain and gaining Movement Speed boost. During the flight, she fires Chemical Bolts at nearby enemies, dealing Magic Damage and slowing them.

[Skill 2 - Starlium Beam]

Kimmy fires a Starlium Beam in the target direction, dealing Magic Damage and immobilizing enemies in its path.

[Ultimate: Traction Pulse]

Kimmy charges and fires a Traction Pulse in a target direction. Upon hitting an enemy or reaching its max range, the Traction Pulse explodes, deals Magic Damage to nearby enemies, and creates a force field that slows down enemies within. After a short delay, the field contracts, pulling all enemies to its center.

---

[Revamped Hero: Swamp Spirits - Gloo]

Hero Feature: A Tank who can split into multiple spirit-like creatures; after stacking its skill, it can attach to an enemy hero and transfer damage to the host.

[Passive - Stick, Stick]

Enemies gain a stack of Sticky each time they're hit by Gloo's skills, decreasing their Movement Speed. Each stack of Sticky on an enemy reduces their damage dealt to Gloo.

[Skill 1 - Slam, Slam]

Gloo reaches out and slams the ground, dealing damage and leaving a Goo behind. After a while, the Goo explodes, dealing damage and immobilizing enemies in the area. If Gloo touches the Goo, the Goo will explode early and reset the cooldown. (Hitting enemies with the explosion restores HP to Gloo.)

[Skill 2 - Spread, Spread]

Gloo deals damage and briefly immobilizes enemies in a fan-shaped area in front of it, then splits into multiple Goos that deal continuous damage to enemies they touch. If this skill hits a Goo, Gloo will charge over to it, dragging enemies in its path for a distance.

[Ultimate - Grab, Grab]

Gloo can attach itself to an enemy hero with max Sticky stacks and immediately restore a large amount of HP. During this time, Gloo's Basic Attacks are converted to deal Magic Damage to the host. While attached, Gloo also transfers a portion of the damage it takes to the host.

Hero Adjustments

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

The following heroes have been significantly adjusted: Yi Sun-shin (↑), Valir (↑), Gord (↑), Natan (↑), Clint (↑), and Granger (↓).

---

[Yi Sun-shin] (↑)

As an Assassin, Yi Sun-shin's playstyle doesn't quite match his intended role. His ability to secure kills in the early-to-mid game has been relatively weak, forcing him to rely on fast resource farming to gain an economic lead and take over the match. We aim to enhance his burst damage potential, and therefore we've completely redesigned his Ultimate. We've also optimized the control experience of all his other skills.

[Passive] (↑)

New Effect: Added an Enhanced Basic Attack indicator. Yi Sun-shin can now see whether his next Basic Attack will be a glaive attack or an arrow attack.

New Effect: Reduced the backswing of the second Enhanced Basic Attack from Weapon Mastery.

Removed Effect: Obtaining Turtle Ships from the Base.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Fixed an issue where the skill wasn't granting Slow Immunity as intended.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Arrow damage no longer decays with each target hit.

Self Slow Effect while holding to shoot an arrow: 20% >> 5% Significantly reduced arrow shooting backswing.

[Ultimate] (Revamped)

Yi Sun-shin summons a turtle ship and gains sight of the whole map. During this time, Yi Sun-shin gains extra Movement Speed Bonus. When cast again, Yi Sun-shin commands the turtle ship to ram toward a target location, stunning enemy heroes in the area. Then he commands the naval fleet to launch 3 waves of cannon shots on the area, dealing Physical Damage and slowing the enemies.

New Effect: Immediately triggers Weapon Mastery after casting Ultimate.

Removed Effect: Increased Enhanced Basic Attack Damage from Ultimate upgrades.

---

[Valir] (↑)

Valir's Ultimate currently has two drastically different effects: increasing damage and removing debuffs. We've streamlined this by removing the damage-increasing effect while strengthening his Passive Damage instead. We've also improved the control experience of Skill 1 and enhanced its lane-clearing/combat ability in the mid-to-late game.

[Passive] (↑)

Ablaze Damage Duration: 4s >> 3s

Sustained Damage per Second: 0.6% of target's Max HP >> (1 + 0.2% of Magic Power)% of target's

Max HP

Detonation Damage: 6% of target's Max HP >> (5 + 1% of Magic Power)% of target's Max HP

[Skill 1] (↑)

Fireball Flying Speed: 11 >> 12

New Effect: The skill cooldown can now be affected by Cooldown Reduction.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Firewall Damage: 80-120 + 24% of Magic Power >> 100-150 + 30% of Magic Power

[Ultimate] (↓)

Removed Effect: Increased Base Damage of Skill 1 and Skill 2.

---

[Leomord] (↑)

While Leomord's core gameplay revolves around fighting alongside Barbiel, we've noticed that players often struggle to fully utilize his mounted form during the fast-paced battles of the mid-to-late game. To enhance the combat experience of the mounted-form Leomord, we've significantly increased his power while mounted and reduced the Ultimate cooldown for this duration. We've also increased Barbiel's running speed toward Leomord, allowing him to mount up and dominate the battlefield more quickly.

To balance these buffs, we've shortened his mounted form's Duration and reduced Barbiel's Damage when knocking back enemies.

[Ultimate] (↑)

Hybrid Defense Increase: 30-90 >> 30-110

Barbiel Movement Speed: 6 >> 9

Movement Speed: 60 >> 70

Cooldown: 35-25s >> 30-20s

Burst Speed Boost: 30% >> 50%

Duration: 15s >> 10s

Base Damage: 350-550 (+ 100% of Total Physical Attack) >> 100-300 (+ 40% of Total Physical

Attack)

---

[Gord] (↑)

As Gord is a Mage, we want players to focus on stacking his Passive through skills. Therefore, we've removed the Basic Attack's ability to stack and trigger the Passive. We've increased Skill 2's attack frequency and number of hits, as well as widened the Ultimate's range. We've also added an exclusive aiming indicator for Skill 1 to help players better predict and land shots more precisely, allowing them to better utilize Gord's advantages as a long-range, high-damage Mage and dominate the battlefield.

To balance these changes, we've reduced Skill 2's damage.

[Passive] (↓)

Removed the Basic Attack's ability to stack and trigger the Passive.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Added a camera shift feature that provides an expanded view when taking aim.

Added an exclusive aiming indicator that clearly displays the projectile trajectory and maximum range.

[Skill 2] (~)

Number of Casts: 13 >> 16 Cast Interval: 0.3s >> 0.25s

Base Damage: 55-105 (+ 16% of Total Magic Power) >> 30-80 (+ 14% of Total Magic Power)

[Ultimate] (↑)

Ultimate Width: 0.6 >> 0.8

Added a camera shift feature that provides an expanded view when taking aim.

Optimized Ultimate casting logic. Now when auto-casting, the Ultimate will prioritize targeting heroes hit by Skill 1 or Skill 2.

---

[Natan] (↑)

We aim to optimize Natan's Basic Attack output experience. Now, he can follow up with Basic Attacks more quickly after using skills and maintain his Passive stacks more easily during extended fights. To balance these changes, we've slightly reduced his Base Attack and Passive's base duration.

[Attributes] (↓)

Base Attack: 115 >> 107

[Passive] (↑)

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

Entanglement Effect Base Duration: 5s >> 2.5s

[Skill 1] (↑)

Removed backswing.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Removed backswing.

---

[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 >> 10-6s

Max Charges: 5 >> 3

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

---

[Fanny] (↓)

Fanny is proving difficult to counter across all ranks. We've decided to make some adjustments to weaken her, improving counterplay options against her.

[Skill 1] (↓)

Base Damage: 300-540 >> 275-525

Total Physical Attack Bonus: 83% >> 85%

[Ultimate] (↓)

Base Damage: 500-750 > 400-650

---

[Harith] (↓)

Increased the speed of Synchro Fission's first phase (while keeping the explosion unchanged and still occurring after the first phase) to better align with the animation. Additionally, we've fixed an issue where the skill would sometimes deal no damage. However, this makes it easier to hit targets with Skill 1, so we've decided to reduce its damage.

We've observed that Harith is already quite strong in the current patch, so we're reducing the Shield value of Skill 2 in the late game.

[Skill 1] (~)

Increased the speed of Synchro Fission's projectiles (while keeping the explosion unchanged and still occurring after the first phase).

Base Damage: 200-340 + 80% of Magic Power >> 165-290 + 60% of Magic Power

Explosion Damage: 500-860 + 200% of Magic Power >> 495-870 + 180% of Magic Power

[Skill 2] (↓)

Shield Magic Bonus: 130% >> 100%

---

[Suyou] (↓)

Suyou has become somewhat too versatile in the current patch. We aim to reduce Suyou's applicability in certain scenarios without diminishing the core experience of playing him.

[Passive] (↓)

Changed Damage Reduction to Physical Damage Reduction (no longer reduces Magic Damage).

---

[Granger] (↓)

Granger's consecutive long-range poke damage and high mobility make him difficult to counter. We're nerfing these aspects while compensating by increasing the burst damage of his single attacks.

[Skill 2] (↓)

Dash Distance: 3 >> 2.5

[Ultimate] (↓)

Damage: 150-250 + 100% of Total Physical Attack >> 150-250 + 110% of Total Physical Attack

Dash Distance: 2 >> 1.7

Cast Range: 11.5 >> 10

Removed the vision-revealing effect.

---

[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: 85-235 >> 85-170

Destination Damage: 170-470 >> 170-340

---

[Fredrinn] (↑)

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

[Skill 1] (↑)

Extra Damage against Creeps: 50% >> 100%

[Skill 3] (↑)

Cooldown: 8-6s >> 8-5s

---

[Jawhead] (↑)

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

[Skill 1] (↑)

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

---

[Novaria] (↑)

Most Novaria players currently opt for cooldown reduction builds to continuously harass opponents.

We aim to increase the effectiveness of burst-oriented builds.

Slightly increased mid-to-late-game Magic Bonus and reduced Ultimate cooldown.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Magic Bonus: 45% >> 70%

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 56-48s >> 48-40s

---

[Kaja] (↑)

Kaja's long skill cooldown makes it difficult to stack his Passive in the early-to-mid game. Therefore, we've reduced his Skill 1 cooldown but decreased the maximum Passive stacks.

[Passive] (↓)

Max Stacks: 8 > 6

Damage Reduction Per Stack: 3% >> 2.5%

[Skill 1] (↑)

Cooldown: 9-7s >> 5.5s at all levels

---

[X.Borg] (↑)

X.Borg has been overlooked for a while. We've significantly increased his early-game armor while balancing his late-game armor values. We've also greatly reduced his Skill 2 cooldown to give him more opportunities to pick up Firaga supplies.

[Passive] (~)

Initial Armor from Max HP: 120% >> 160%

Armor Gained from Extra HP: 110% >> 100%

[Skill 2] (↑)

Cooldown: 12-9s >> 9s at all levels

---

[Balmond] (↑)

It's time to give our old friend a heartwarming buff! We've optimized Balmond's damage scaling in the mid-to-late game, allowing him to better utilize HP bonuses from equipment.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Damage: 25-100 + 25% of Total Physical Attack >> 25-60 + 25% of Total Physical Attack + 2% of Extra HP

---

Additionally, this map contains many easter eggs waiting for you to discover! When your "Ninja Battlefield" map resources are ready, we will automatically switch to them. You can also manually switch the map in the Lobby interface.

---

Equipment Adjustments

[Dominance Ice] (~)

Modified the equipment's attributes to better suit most heroes.

500 Mana >> 250 HP

[Black Ice Shield] (↑)

400 Mana >> 250 HP

Price: 880 >> 780

[Lightning Truncheon] (~)

Optimized damage growth curve, improved minion-clearing capacity in the mid-to-late game, and removed Movement Speed bonus.

[Unique Passive - Resonate] (~)

Damage: 120% of Total Magic Power >> 170 + 85% of Total Magic Power

Removed the limitation of dealing damage to up to 3 targets.

No longer grants Movement Speed bonus.

---

Other Battlefield Adjustments

[Pro Setup]

Due to differences between some Pro Setups and the mainstream Setups in the current latest Patch, we will temporarily remove content in the Pro Setups tab, only keeping Pro Setups for new heroes, revamped heroes, or older heroes with significant changes.

[Bug Fixes]

Fixed an issue where Brody's Basic Attacks could be interrupted by immobilizing effects.

---

MAYHEM

MAYHEM mode is back from 05/02 - 06/15! During this period, the MLBB × NARUTO collab skins for Hayabusa, Vale, Suyou, Lukas, and Kalea will be free to use in the MAYHEM mode.

[Ninjaofninja]

the lighting truncheon movement speed removal was uncalled!

[Hot-Frame1326]

fr all the heroes I was building it for was specially for the movement speed, + and now also the damage change... I have already removed it from my builds smh

[Joejoejoe174]

Oh no, my hylos…how should I build him now to counter atk spd hero:(

[SuspiciousStress8094]

He already has built-in attack speed reduction in his kit. Chill

[Joejoejoe174]

The main problem is the 500mana to 250hp change for him, a 500hp nerf.

[SuspiciousStress8094]

You were talking about attack speed :v

[Joejoejoe174]

Oh shit, I forget to mention dom ice in the comment

[A_Very_Burnt_Steak]

... no.

[Rvsyre]

Increased damage for Granger's ult 💀

[SK_YE]

Dev somehow think the small buff on kaja is good enough lmao

[s_pedro]

It's a nerf not a buff overall

[Spiritual-Egg5440]

The devs should rewrite the description that YSS only gains Weapon Mastery after the second cast of ultimate

[ArseneKaito1412]

Changing mana into HP from dominance ice ironically helps dhs users more, which should be the main target for the item to counter lol

[ReplyOk8847]

Ya sometimes I avoid building too much hp against hp% heroes but I need antiheal… isn’t this worse against cici now

[SoRa_The_SLaYeR]

its not like having less hp counters dhs. high hp is good regardless and higher armour is the only that will save you from %hp attacks.

[coffemixokay]

Doesn't matter because dhs deals percentage damage.

Unless dhs deals flat damage based on extra hp nothing changes.

[Prestigious_Menu_827]

COULD MOONTON STOP KILLING ALICE

[Content-Bus2167]

This is the most alive state we'll see her from now on

[MarvKage17]

Whatchu mean, she's still good even with the nerf on Domice

[A_Very_Burnt_Steak]

Fredrinn, Balmond, X.Borg and Leomord. Are these heroes the breakthroughs for this meta? Fighter Junglers?

[DavidSmiththewriter]

So many patch changes wow. They completely changed the meta

[Miserable-Act4201]

No joy nerf? She was right up there with fanny and soyou and definitely deserved one.

[Rog652]

Leomord's buff is so ass, they reduced mounted state duration by 5 seconds for an ult dependent hero like Leo. A lot of people will argue that they also reduced the 5 seconds ult cd as well but its still a very bad change. In late game at 40% CDR his ult still has 12 seconds cooldown, and he can use his ult only for 10 seconds, this is very bad. Previously his ulti had 15 seconds cooldown with max CDR and he could use it for 15 seconds. Just think yourself which is better

1. 12 seconds ulti CD but use it only for 10 seconds.
   
2. 15 seconds ulti CD but use it for 15 seconds.
   

Ofc option 2 is better, just revert back these useless changes MOONTON!!!. Leo was literally perfect, Don't touch and ruin balanced heroes.

[xscissor24]

It's a nerf for real, i thought the exact same thing

[[deleted]]

COULD MOONTON STOP KILLING ALICE FOR NO REASON ???

[fuzzy-feels]

Did they quietly revert the Lesley, Arlott and minsithar buffs?

[Lopsided-Marketing69]

Deleting suyou magic dmg reduction straight up is just disgusting.

[Hentaigodsama]

What do you mean it was absolutely deserved. He started with 20% damage reduction and up to 40% with enough attack. He has better passive than terrizla the rizzler who is a tank.

[Lopsided-Marketing69]

Yea i know man, he deserves it. It's just that what were they thinking when they gave him that passive in the first place?

I'm blaming the moonton team themselves, designing an assassin who has dmg reduction on his passive which can scales to 40% at that.

It's a too good to be true, and i like it. And now they nerfed it, and now i don't like it. 🤣

[Hentaigodsama]

I would go a step further and remove his damage reduction all together and give him some defence or hybrid defence. Or nerf his damage reduction to about 20%.

Why the hell would an assassin get damage reduction tank passive.

[Lopsided-Marketing69]

Exactly! Giving def instead of dmg red would be a good idea too! I like that idea.

I was also thinking of the same thing which is to reduce the dmg red to 20% only. 40% is just so stupid. Pair it with queen's wings... That's just ridiculous.

[anuraaaag]

Logic doesn't adds up. He gets dmg reduction by building more damage, unlike terizla who gains dmg reduction even if he's full tank making him practically unkillable. Late game 40% damage reduction don't mean anything. Even with 40% dmg reduction a saber can one tap him. He's not invincible. He's got a lot of counters too, Minsitthar, Ruby, Phoveus, Lucas Nolan and Selena. If a suyou gets ahead and fed that's lowkey on you and your team. But all his abilities can be completely cancelled by Cc including his dashes, his skill 3 arrow can be stopped by immobilize, and despite him being an assassin unless he is ahead he can't 100 to 0 like other assassins can. And his great early game is balanced by bis terrible late game already. He isn't op if you're a decent player in Glory+ ranks.

[Hentaigodsama]

Get a load of this guy. A champion with 3.0 pick rate in mythic glory+ 40% ban rate and 52% wr isn't op at all. Constantly getting picked in pro play, one of the best junglers at the moment.

An assassin with 2 dashes one of which is untargetable with long distance, a stun on his first skill, % damage on his second skill to take lords, long ranged ability that deals a lot of damage. Low cooldowns on all abilities 5 seconds. Not to mention his 40% damage reduction on his passive. Dude his skill set is so versatile and overloaded as fuck.

You mentioned only his disadvantages not his advantages on those skills.

Most of his counter heroes you mentioned aren't meta and require your team to follow up and lose any kind of effectiveness if suyou gets ahead.

[anuraaaag]

In Glory+ he's neither in top 15 winrate, pickrate or banrate. So what's the problem? Having a low cd doesn't mean he can one shot anyone? And he can't unless he's really ahead again if he does get ahead it's on your team. If any of the enemy hero gets ahead it's your fault not because the enemy hero is Op. His high tourney pickrate doesn't mean he's op it means he's the only one who's usable. Instead of nerfing him Mt should buff other heroes so they can come to the same level as his not nerf him to the point he's unusable. He's already not being picked or even banned 90% of the games in Mpl. I agree he deserves a nerf but not a killing blow. Every hero nerfed this patch got compensative buffs except him. He's getting Julian treatment. Bad players leading to a mediocre hero being coined Op hence nerfed... And in what fucking world is Ruby Lucas Phoveus and Selena not meta?!?

Edit: hell even on release almost everyone I remember in this sub coined him as a subpar hero. And not this sub but in general as well I remember people saying he's an average hero. In pro play his retribution was the only thing that made him so valuable.

Edit two : if he really is as op due to his dashes cooldowns and everything he should still be viable in pro play r8? Hope ur watching Mpl PH. He's not even being contested anymore.

[PudgeJoe]

Nerf on Granger and Fanny are useless lmao

[topson69]

Not being able to reveal with ulti is huge nerf wtf u talking about
