Parche 3.1.1
- In HoN 3.1 - The Runic Shift we changed a monumental number of Heroes and Items, some of which need continued adjustment. Our internal testing cannot possibly mirror the sheer number of games, skill differences, and hero combinations that the community can. We are listening when you bring up potential balance issues to us. In this patch we are giving minor changes to Predator, Elder Parasite, and the Experience granted from kills. We will continue to closely monitor the changes from HoN 3.1 - The Runic Shift.
- Hero Kill Changes
- Static Experience will remain similar to continue to incentivize ganking, but will take a slight hit to decrease snowballing. Increased gold for hero kills was not playing a larger role in snowballing, but is actually playing a larger role in comebacks with the new changes. Area Experience will take a significant hit in order to tone down the effectiveness of 5 man training, although this tactic will still be usable.
- Experience granted per kill was lowered from 100 per level to 90 per level. This Experience is divided among all nearby players
- Unsplit Experience granted per kill was lowered from 12 per level to 6 per level. This Experience is given to each nearby player
- Before with 4 players killing a level 9 hero, each Hero gets: ((1009)/4)+(129)= 333 Experience
- After with 4 players killing a level 9 hero, each Hero gets: ((909)/4)+(69)= 256.5 Experience
- Predator
- Predator gained a significantly better mana pool due to no longer needing to cast Terror. Venomous Leap now increases in Mana Cost to make up for that very large mana pool gain. Terror's buff & debuff will also last slighly less duration to allow enemies a better chance to get away.
- Venomous Leap: Manacost increased from 90 to 90/100/110/120
- Terror: Debuff on enemies duration decreased from 10 to 8 seconds
- Terror: Buff on yourself duration decreased from 4.5 seconds to 3.5 seconds
- Elder Parasite
- Elder Parasite's offensive side has been on the high end, so we've toned the Attack Speed back to that of the original Elder Parasite by removing 15 from the activation.
- Attack Speed during activation decreased from 100 to 85
