BALANCE LIVE WITH THE ODYSSEY: RECKONING UPDATE SEPT 8

• Conquest
  • Centaur Ability Rework
  • The new Jungle Abilities have been met with lots of positive feedback. One issue players were experiencing involved pulling the Speed buff to the desired location. This ability is going to activate later in the Centaur's hit chain, allowing players to pull it further before it attacks, and its hit area and timing are being adjusted to require more quick reflexes from Junglers.
    • Renamed this ability to Charged Thrust
    • The Centaur now uses Charged Thrust as its 4th attack
    • Decreased Range from 25 to 15
    • Decreased the ability wind-up time by 25%

• This was a premier new item from Mid Season. As the 20% Penetration Assassin Item, we knew it would make a big impact, but it suffered from a few design problems. The passive felt too restrictive to certain gods, so we are changing the effect to be ramping instead of on or off. This shift allows for many more gods to use the item, but also is a significant buff, which the item doesn't really need. For this reason it's being paired with a few nerfs to the Cost, Power, and Power from the passive. This shift should change up the Jungle meta yet again, in addition to the big changes from Bonus Balance happening 2 weeks earlier.
  • Increased Cost 2550 to 2650
  • Decreased Physical Power from 30 to 25
  • Passive Adjusted
    • For every non-ultimate ability on cooldown you gain a stack of Cruelty. Each stack provides 10 Basic Attack Power and 3% Physical Lifesteal.

• It seems that many players are still happy to be rid of reflect damage, but Nemean Lion isn't exactly having the intended effect. Currently this item is most popular as a single defense item on damage focused gods, causing certain hyper carries to have little counterplay. We are heavily changing the design on this item so that it requires protections to be built before the passive becomes effective. Buying this with too few item protections items will lead it to provide zero block stacks.
  • PASSIVE – For every 100 total Protections (Magical + Physical) from items only you gain one block stack, preventing the next Basic Attack from damaging you. This effect can stack up to 3 times.

• Building up to Odysseus bow was not the best experience. It feels like its not really worth getting unless you have the complete gold for the finished Tier 3 item. The Tier 2 version, Charged Bow, is getting a scaling component added to it to make it an item worth building.
  • Bonus Damage now has 30% Basic Attack Power Scaling

• The rework of Hecate's Ring brought about a lot of question about the similar Physical item: Ichaival. To help bring Hunters in line with Mage ADCs, we are buffing this item slightly so that the Buff and Debuff durations match Ring of Hecate.
  • Increased Buff and Debuff Duration from 3s to 5s
  • Adjusted Text on this item and Ring of Hecate to have better matching wording for the same effects

• We have seen a decrease in play on traditional mages, especially in pro play. We are looking at a few items that feel a little underwhelming and buffing them to a spot where they are more likely to make it into a build. These changes also work to offset some of the nerfs that mages feel from Typhon's Fang changes in Bonus Balance.
  • Decreased Cost from 2600 to 2500
  • Added 7 HP5
• Evolved Charon's Coin Buff
  • Increased HP5 from 28 to 35
  • Increased MP5 from 20 to 35

• Doom Orb, more like Zoom Orb. This item is great for mages who want to rotate and make plays on the map, but its cost is quite restrictive. We are bringing this down so that Mid players have an option for early to mid game skirmishes.
  • Decreased from 3000 to 2850

• Tanky Mages always have a risk to take over a meta, so we have been quite careful with the Warlock's Staff item tree. We are still not seeing this item being picked up very often, nor performing very well, so we are applying some more buffs to the item. The T2 is getting more power, so it becomes a more viable option to build into before the final staff, and the Tier 3 cost is coming down to make it easier to build in more situations.
  • Decreased Cost from 2650 to 2500

• Increased Magical Power from 30 to 45

• Below we have a slew of Tank item buffs, but one item is missing from our balance pass. The Sledge. While we are aware of this item's prevalence, Warriors are currently relying on it to keep up with the rest of the classes. Before we address it we want to make sure other choices feel strong and that options exist to round out builds.
• Bulwark Of Hope has been a situational item as best for some time. A boost to its shield, especially with new anti-shield counters, should help it feel impactful.
  • Increased %HP Threshold where the shield triggers from 30% to 40%

• Heartward Amulet should feel like a strong option for anyone to flex against Magical Damage, but it doesn't have that same impact as its closest analog, Sovereignty. Boosting its aura will help it succeed in the right situation.
  • Increased Magical Protections to allies in the Aura from 15 to 20

• Pestilence and Contagion are commonly built on Warriors, but don't feel as strong as other Anti-heal options from other classes. They should not be as strong as pure defensive options and currently they fall too far below defensive choices. A boost to their Health will help in that regard.
  • Increased Health from 200 to 250

• Increased Health from 100 to 150

• Mystical Mail is a unique bruiser item. The longer a fight goes the more this item contributes, but the cost is too high for the strength it provides. This change will make it easier to build into and allow tanks to have extra gold to spend elsewhere.
  • Decreased Cost from 2450 to 2350

• Additionally, Artemis now cleanses herself of slows and becomes immune to Slows for 0.6s when activated

• Decreased Cooldown from 16/16/15/15/14s to 14s at all Ranks

• Increased Physical Power Scaling from 60% to 70%

• Increased base HP from 375 to 410
• Increased HP Scaling per level from 70 to 80

• Increased Damage per tick from 15/25/35/45/55 to 20/30/40/50/60

• Increased the damage dealt at max range from 50% of the initial damage to 70% of the initial damage.

• Decreased damage from 50/80/110/140/170 to 45/75/105/135/165.

• Increased Magical Power Scaling from 90% to 100%

• Additionally, Ra now cleanses himself of slows and becomes immune to Slows for 0.6s when activated

• Increase Base Attack Speed from 0.87 to 0.95

• Decreased Cooldown from 14s to 12s

• Decreased Cooldown from 120s at all ranks to 110/105/100/95/90s
