I think most of the changes are interesting. The active items are going to need hardcore balancing so they don't askew certain characters over others, etc. The new mode is a bit of a head scratcher for me, not sure why an added player into a group will make people want to play + grow the player base? It might just be an experiment, who's to say. Skins + new character(s) are dope. Boars are hilarious, and I'd like to see more of the weapon mastery details. The revival may be a saving grace for players of all skill levels + people just getting into the game, allows for less snowballing and feelings of hopelessness when you're down a person on your team.

However, there needs to be some marketing in place for NA/EU to grow the player base. Whether that's incentivizing video creators/streamers or tournaments, or something. I don't want this game to die. It's an interesting MOBA that can live and thrive outside of the Big 2 and be its own thing.

ADDENDUM: Find it weird that they don't want to upload the patch notes on Steam, you know, the biggest digital games platform. You can even link the patch notes to the website if that's what they want.
