General
- Fixed Archangel VGS saying Enemy Ultimate Incoming” instead of Enemy Ultimate Down”.
General
- Into Darkness
- Fixed an issue where If Chernobog dashes into a wall while being chased by Persephone's Plant, the over head icon remains.
General
- Chernobog continues to be the 1st pick 1st ban in the pro league. He has a huge amount of mobility and utility which pro players can leverage in many ways. Chernobog's ultimate does so many things, so we feel it is safe for him to sacrifice one of those. Chernobog will no longer trigger his passive on every basic attack while his ultimate is active. Even without this, he should still be able to stay true to his initial design goals of being able to hunt down and gank a single god from anywhere on the map, but he will have a harder time winning while outnumbered.
Living Nightmare
- This ability no longer triggers his passive on every basic attack. His passive will now continue to function normally during the effects of this ability.
Living Nightmare
- Reduced Damage Mitigation from 10/17.5/25/32.5/40% to 10/15/20/25/30%.
- Decreased max number of stacks from slow from 5 to 4.
General
- The Lord of Darkness has made himself known, bringing heavy global pressure for his enemies to deal with. He can rotate quickly to any fight and have a massive impact with his damage mitigation and damage. While he needs the high mitigation to really mix it up in the late game, we are bringing down the early game mitigation to give opponents more room to deal with him when he lands.
Crystallized Curses
- Decreased Base Damage of the Initial Hit from 70/100/130/160/190 to 70/95/120/145/170.
Living Nightmare
- Decreased mitigation scaling from 20/25/30/35/40% to 10/17.5/25/32.5/40%.
General
- Chernobog can no longer recall to base while inside of a wall.
General
- Fixed an issue where he would randomly T pose in lobby.
General
- Fixed an issue where Chernobog could reveal enemies for longer than intended if he died while using his ultimate.
- Chernobog's global slow has really enabled him to excel at high level play, allowing teams to engage or flee under his watch. We are making the slow slower to get going, allowing enemies more room to counterplay this effect. Vicious Barrage is also having it's attack speed reduced keeping his late game power a bit more in check.
Vicious Barrage
- Decreased Attack Speed Buff from 30/40/50/60/70% to 20/30/40/50/60%.
