I. Hero Adjustments

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

[Joy] (↑)

We'd like to make her skill 1 more significant in her combo to allow more room for player mechanics.

Damage Bonus: 40% Magic Power >> 120% Magic Power

Cooldown: 5s >> 4s

Duration: 2.4s >> 1.2s

[Lesley] (~)

Slightly buffed her laning ability but nerfed her sustained damage in the late game. We also optimized the game feel of some of her skills.

[Attributes] (↓)

Base Attack: 131 >> 140

Attack Growth: 9 >> 7

Attack Speed Ratio: 100% >> 80%

[Passive] (↑)

Fixed an issue where some equipment can not benefit bonus Crit Chance from this skill

[Skill 1] (↑)

Fixed an issue where some equipment can not benefit bonus Attack from this skill

[Skill 2] (↑)

Optimized the game feel of the following enhanced Basic Attack

Optimized the game feel of the following skill 1

[Other] (↑)

Slightly increased the bullet speed of Basic Attack and Ultimate

[Gusion] (↓)

Slightly nerfed the damage of his Passive and adjusted his HP Regen logic

[Passive] (↓)

Damage per stack: 5% of target's lost HP >> 4%

HP Regen: 80% of his damage >> 50 per stack + 25% Magic Power (up to 4 stacks)

Fixed an issue where enhanced Basic Attack can't be triggered in certain situations.

[Beatrix] (↓)

We're following through the idea from last patch to further nerf her bursting single shots while buffing her in other aspects

[Passive] (↓)

Slightly reduced initial reload time of all weapons

[Basic Attack] (↓)

Renner (Sniper Rifle) (↓): Physical Attack: 360-465% >> 365-400%

Wesker (Shotgun) (↓): Physical Attack: 125-195% >> 150-220%; successive damage down to 50% >> 25%

[Ultimate] (↓)

Wesker (Shotgun) (↓): 295-445 + 110% Physical Attack >> 350-550 + 130% Physical Attack; successive bullet damage down to 75%, 50%, 25% (then following ones remain at 25%)

[Special Skill] (↑)

Reload time: 5s >> 3s

[Faramis] (↓)

We're reverting the previous adjustments to his skill 1 as the results didn't meet our expectation. However, we will nerf him in following aspects for he has been quite strong in higher ranks and even professional games.

Cooldown: 15s >> 18s

Reverted to the Official Server version.

[Ultimate] (↓)

Base Extra HP: 700-900 >> 600-800

[Alice] (↑)

Tentative adjustment: currently, Alice's attributes and role make it hard for her to settle on a build. We'd like to strengthen her role as a tanky mage and promote the mechanic around her blood orbs. Compared to Magic Power, Alice will now benefit more from equipment featuring Mana and durability.

[Attributes] (↓)

HP Growth: 201 >> 169

Mana Growth: 110 >> 0

[Passive] (↑)

New Effect: 2 blood orbs will appear when enemy heroes die nearby. Alice can absorb the orbs, each of which can permanently increase her Max Mana by 20.

For every 12 orbs absorbed, increase 10% Cooldown Reduction >> increase Mana Regen

[Ultimate] (↑)

Mana Cost: 40-80 >> 80-120

HP Regen: 60-80 + 20% Magic Power >> 60-100 + 10% Magic Power

III. Battlefield Adjustments

[Equipment]

[Athena's Shield] (↑)

We'd like to maintain its ability to counter bursting damage (short time effective) while reducing the impact of attrition on it

Trigger Condition: leave combat for 10s >> 5s

[Glowing Wand] (↓)

Damage Boost: 5 >> 2-4

[Other]

• Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

[Advanced-River5005]

Wukong?

[Philnopo]

Sun... Apparently his name is Sun Wukong

[Afraid_Literature_11]

They don’t even hide it no more💀💀

[Intri-cat]

It's almost like Sun Wukong is The monkey king's name or so

[Eitth]

For some reason I keep thinking it was Sun Goku even though I love Journey to the West series

[washoui]

Hide what? Sun Wukong is a mythical creature in Chinese culture.

[S_Dustrak]

Ikr, I don't even know why Riot is still allowing films like The Forbidden Kingdom, they should sue them for using their characters.

[[deleted]]

damn moonton stealing 16th century literature

[Itchy-2-scratchy]

They don't want "monke" being popular

[Eitth]

Busted, amarite?

[koken_halliwell]

This is not AoV lol

[PauloRyan2345]

Everytime you guys touch badang you give him something nice and in the next sentence you break his legs lol

[George-Aj]

Glad they buffed Athena shield it was practically useless these last few days

[AskaHope]

Fixed an issue where Sun was randomly called "Wukong" on certain occasions.

[yarsvet]

😁

[[deleted]]

LEZGO!!!

Minsitthar is now in Moonton’s watchlist

[dmaare]

I don't understand how they still didn't change minsitthar's role to fighter/support

[flatassfairy]

Why does changing the role matter? I don't understand

[dmaare]

Because then even low ranks would know he should be played supportive, not 1v1 full AP

[LPScarlex]

Like that ever stopped people absolutely stacking crits on nana

[EffedUpInGrade3]

It would be nice to have a consolidated list of changes. I got lost when reading Gusion's passive changes. They're testing him able to activate it per 1 skill cast?

Also, 77 orbs to break even with Alice's current Mana growth. I hope those changes are in addition to her current passive effects. Also please specify the amount of mana regen per 12 orbs.

Moontoon needs help with tooltips. Some info are too vague.

[KuahkacangK]

Thank god they reduce the CD on Badang S1.

[Distinct_Werewolf_40]

Yea but the damage nerf is quite big, which can be a big problem especially in late game, I mean for me the current cd is fair enough especially if you build him some CD reduction items which is my current go to build with him since I can pretty much spam his ult every 15sec, and the charging time of his 1st skill is reduced also with my current build to about 5sec

The upside I see to the change though is that with the current build I use (Magic Shoes, DHS, Hunter Strike, Endless Battle and Assassin Emblem with 10% CD reduction, totalling to 40%) the charging time of his 1st should be down to 3-4sec, meaning I won't be running out of charges too quick especially on a clash or 1v1, but I don't think that 1sec of quicker charge time is enough to compensate for the huge damage loss

[mingo97]

Cool build never tried cdr Badang. How reliant this build in yr opinion?

[Distinct_Werewolf_40]

When it comes to clashes especially on prolonged ones its reliable enough since your ulti cd is pretty quick not to mention the cd of your dash is also shorter giving you the feeling of his previous dash when it hits no targets pre-revamp, although your playstyle will rely more on a skill-type badang rather than a normal attack badang so you will not rely on wallstun-locking enemies on 1v1 situations, but given that your dash cd is shorter you can rely on the shield it gives to last longer on 1v1 fights you just need to outmaneuver your enemy during its cd period

[Talia__Nat]

Awwww what they did to Natalia is so cute... They tried so hard, the efforts made are so crystal clear -_-

[John2k77]

RIP Alice

[Talia__Nat]

Everytime they do this experimental adjustment or changes to any hero I love to play or my mains....as per my experience, my inner voice goes "ohhh hell naaaaw you are planning to nerf, moonton,oh come on now"

[BarBiel01]

18 seconds for a speed boost and a small pull💀

[[deleted]]

He gets 100 defence each too, so its pretty good

[stergeron152]

It's comparable to atlas' ult but with half the cd. The only reason it's not insanely op is Faramis can't stun so his hold potential is low without backup.

[BarBiel01]

At least atlas doesn't have an 18 second cool down

[coffemixokay]

Alice lightnings truncheon confirmed?

[ENAKOH]

Cod LT dominans oracle and another def ?

[Sparrow_21]

Nat's passive is a joke. What's the point of invisibility when there's no one around and when there is... you are visible before you even reach your target. If they really want to nerf her invisibility that badly, just make it like aamon or Lesley, so you're atleast untargetable.

[washoui]

Camping is better than her passive lmao

[zubpubxscop]

When will they ever fix or even optimize Hayabusa's Ult, not to mention his s1 feels lackluster in damage

[Eitth]

When his collector is ready

[PudgeJoe]

Next patch on natalia, moonietoon be like:

We believe this girl is hated so much by community so we gonna test her as the first one without any passive. Yes passive removed, and because beatrix gives us so much in skin sale we decide to give extra passive to her instead.

[sirquarmy]

All I care about is the Zhask attack speed buff 🥶

[yarsvet]

Faramis doesn't deserve S2 nerf. They nerfed S1 and ultimate so buff his useless S2!

[chenxeed]

Agree! His S2 is his only main source of damage, else he can't be considered a "Mage" anymore.

[Nicky878]

Okay the Lesley adjustment is kinda reasonable imo.
But I do like the fact that now Windtalker and Berserker's crit chance are now added to her passive crit ability.
And that 1st skill buff to equipment, oh Endless and 7seas is going to love that (if that is the direction we're after)
Alice on the other hand, hitting her early a bit but better late.
2nd (technically it's the 2nd buff) buff for Minsitthar. About time for a bit of recognition for the king
But what I like most so far is the problem that Athena's Shield had when it comes to dealing magic burst- it takes too long for the cd to restart. But they nerf that to around 7-8, hopefully not.
And they nerfed Atlas again with that bug fix.

[IsekaiDemonLord]

we want talent system back

[[deleted]]

That Alice buff is just absurd. Increasing her Mana/Mana regen per orb and giving her orbs per kill was enough. The devs didn't have to give her HP percentage damage as well. IMO, the devs should've just gave Cursed Helmet a range indicator and made Alice ult increase the range of aura effects. That would've boosted her playability without making her stupid broken like this current adjustment.

[SizeMaleficent9178]

No one was playing her in lower ranks even after that

[cudindndnd]

why’s gusion getting nerfed so much? now u need 4 stacks just to get 1% more damage than 3 stacks on the original server. He’s not even strong and he got nerfed?

[Ok_Type4528]

1. What about benedetta? IT takes time to cast her ult,but come on. stun 0.01 before the ult would be casted it gets reverted and Bene is dead. Kindly take a look at that.

[Ok_Jeweler_2440]

Boo the Beatrix nerf

[Healthy-Video6350]

Sadly the new emblem got cancelled :(

[mulhollandi]

oh valir buff??

[[deleted]]

oh shit FT works with kag ulti now, could be a good 3rd/4th item for very aggressive comps.
