Balance Adjustments for Silence Glyph and Reactive Barrier

Patch
Source
Quick Take6 changes

The Deadlock August 22, 2024 update (version 2024-08-22) focuses on balance adjustments: Silence Glyph receives multiple nerfs, Reactive Barrier cooldown increased, Return Fire damage reduced, and several abilities reworked.

  • Fixed: High Velocity Mag affecting some abilities; Siphon Bullets no longer acting as spirit damage for procs; shotgun heroes no longer applying buildup effects instantly on ricocheted enemies.
  • Nerf: Silence Glyph – damage reduced to 100, spirit scaling to 1.0, cast range to 25m, sprint to 1, shield to +200.
  • Nerf: Reactive Barrier cooldown increased to 30s; Return Fire bullet damage returned reduced to 70%.
  • Updated: Dying with Siphon Bullets stacks now loses 2 stacks regardless of killer; Ivy's Air Drop silences the carried ally until release.
  • Nerf: Shiv Bloodletting deferred damage reduced to 35%.
  • Updated: Parrying a Guardian now causes it to start shooting instead of repeated melee.
