Changelog v2.31-2.32

Recommended Posts

General

Game

- Added Matriarch.Vorazun.

- Fixed XP gain interaction with XP modifiers (Veteran Talent, Syrus Codex, Eye of Amon, Spirit Containment Vessel and Hunter's Knife).

(Note: Previously, hero kills were giving an unintended and disproportionate amount of XP while hero assists were giving notably less to players. Furthermore, XP modifiers were not proc'ing accordingly as per their tooltips from creep kills.)

 

Commands

- Added "-respawn" command as an attempted response to the very rare bug that causes your hero to glow and become unresponsive, untargetable, invulnerable, and 'un-respawnable' when killed. Upon inputting the command and if the conditions are met, all players will be notified of the error,  your hero will be reloaded, and you will respawn after 10 seconds where you died.

(Note: Currently, an unfortunate side effect of this command at the moment is that it will reset your talents to default.)

The changes to Tassadar were intended to promote a more proactive and team-fight oriented playstyle instead of the classic, passive, and AFK farming split-pushing play style. 

Many items that Agi carries and Tass often use have also been improved.

If anything I probably overbuffed Tass. But the skill ceiling is so high, that most of the player pool won't be able to access T1 Tass. As was always the case, more or less. 

My comments in red.

Tassadar

HP - Damage Reduction when Astral Projection is active decreased to 30% from 35%. Buff.

- Astral Projection now has Tassadar's Current Health always rather than 75+45*LVL (+150% INT) Health. Buff (especially early game).

- Astral Projection now takes +30% Non-Physical Damage. Nerf (Intended for counterplay).

- Astral Projection Timed Life reduced to 40 from 180. Nerf but...

- Cooldown reduced to 60s from 120s. Buff and...

- Cooldown no longer disabled while Astral Projection is active. Buff. These last 3 together are meant to give Tass players significantly less downtime when they lose their projection (which always happens), and for them to use the projection for immediate impact best. This goes hand in hand with motivating ganking and allows Tass to potentially utilize his R much more frequently than before.

- Astral Projection now grants 90 base minerals and XP to Killer from 80 and 0 respectively. Nerf (Intended to motivate careful play).

Q - Base damage reduced to 40/80/120/160 from 60/100/140/180. Nerf but...

- Energy cost decreased to 20/35/50/65 from 40/55/70/85. Buff. These last 2 taken together are a significant buff. Previously Tass could deal 500 damage with 2.7x Qs (Level 4) for 255 Energy. Now for almost the same amount of energy he is dealing about 625 damage. Factor in that both he and the Projection are dealing this, and that is an extra 250 damage. This is important during the first 2/3rds of a match when Tass needs to get his items up.

W - While channeling, Soul Drain now also steals the target's Movement Speed and grants it to Tassadar as +50% Attack Speed. (Note: The Speed debuff and buff linger for 2s after channeling stops.) Buff.

- Cast range rescaled to 6/6.5/7/7.5u from 6.5u. Buff.
