General

• Fixed an issue where acorns glow FX would sometimes persist at Ratatoskr’s death locations
• Fixed an issue where using the undo button in the shop could remove Ratatoskr’s acorn visual FX

General

• Fixed an issue where Flurry was not affected by cooldown reduction.
• Fixed an issue where his Acorn used in lobby animations would be much smaller than intended.
• Fixed an issue where his Passive text was still showing his old Passive.

General

• Ratatoskr's rework is out and people are going nuts! The general consensus seems to be that he is strong but we are still seeing a lot of experimentation with different builds. We are targeting the most frequently purchased acorn (Bristlebush) and the winningest acorn (Evergreen), toning down his power while still leaving room for players to experience each acorn.

Acorn of Yggdrasil

• Evergreen Acorn
• Decreased Physical Power from 35 to 25.
• Bristlebush Acorn
• Decreased Dart bonus damage from 40% to 35%.
• This affects both the base damage and scaling of Dart.

General

• It’s time to go nuts! Even as Yggdrasil wavers it still lends strength to its messenger, Ratatoskr. His original Acorns provided unique benefits, drastically changing his playstyle game to game. While interesting he created unique balance problems that were not helped by variance in his initial kits power, but we knew this was something players wanted to see return.
• Our goal for these Acorns is to augment and double down on strengths that exist in his current kit, allowing players to pick what they like to do while playing Ratatoskr and excel. This keeps his power and variance grounded and avoids some of the pitfalls from his initial design while still allowing for player expression. Enjoy using your ultimate to engage? The bonus health and healing from Evergreen Acorn will help you survive. Want to shred your opponents? Thickbark is a strong choice. And of course if you enjoy playing him like the Assassin he is we got you covered. Bristlebush lets you dive in and swing hard while Thistlethorn rounds out his ability damage (and don't forget a more reliable ranged stun!).
• Ratatoskr is now also followed by the Acorn of his choosing, skinned based on what skin you have selected. This gives each Ratatoskr some extra flair and gives enemies in game visibility on how you are choosing to play. We are excited for you all to get a hand on these Acorns!

Acorn Blast

• Increased damage per acorn from 40/55/70/85/100 to 50/70/90/110/130.
• Increased Physical Power scaling from 30% to 40%.
• Enemies hit by multiple acorns take 25% less damage on each acorn, down to a minimum of 25% damage.
• These changes overall should result in Ratatoskr dealing similar damage when hitting all 3 acorns.
• Added a note that enemies need to be hit by 3 Acorns to be stunned rather than ‘all’. It is intended for Thistlethorn empowered Acorn Blast to stun if only 3 acorns hit.

General

• Through the Cosmos
• Updated ultimate audio on Curious Critter Skin.

General

• Ratatoskr may now sell his Acorn.

General

• Ratatoskr has been putting up a very strong showing lately, especially in the SPL. His ability to stay out in the jungle for the entire early game combines with his low cooldown semi-global ult to make him the absolute king of early pressure. His ultimate is being increased in cooldown at the early ranks to give Ratatoskr's opponents some breathing room. With the current cooldown he has very little counterplay,
• and opposing junglers have very few options except hope that the Sly Messenger makes a mistake.
• Increasing Through the Cosmos' cooldown should allow for a more fair back and forth between the junglers.

Through the Cosmos

• Cooldown increased from 90s to 110/105/100/95/90s.

General

• Ratatoskr is one of the few gods we are adjusting in anticipation of Season 5. Ratatoskr's global presence combined with his ability to upgrade his Acorn out of base allows him to exert a lot of pressure in Season 5. Rather than nerf these unique aspects of him, we targeted Dart's cooldown (which helps with his overall mobility) and increased the cost on Acorn Blast. Ratatoskr players will need to manage their mana more carefully.

Dart

• Increased Cooldown from 12s to 14s.

Acorn Blast

• Increased Mana cost from 60 to 60/65/70/75/80.

General

• Ratatoskr has struggled compared to other Assassins and Junglers. While his early game is pretty strong, he quickly falls off compared to other Assassins that fill similar engaging and diving roles. We are increasing Flurry's scaling to help him extend into the mid and late game, while giving the protection shred from Flurry an increase in strength. When he fully use this skill it will further empower his other abilities, while also helping the other members of his team to deal damage.

Flurry

• Increased Physical Power scaling from 20% per tick to 25% per tick.
• Increased Protection Shred from 2/2/3/3/4 per tick to 2/3/4/5/6 per tick.
• Fixed an issue where the visual FX of this ability were continuing even when the ability was canceled or interrupted.

General

• Ratatoskr has become a go-to Jungler for players in Season 4. His ability to buy his Acorn out of the base combined with the new decisions available to Junglers caused him to perform even better than in Season 3. We are making a few adjustments to his Abilities without hitting his Damage that should give players more opportunities to play against him.
• Acorn of Yggdrasil is now more expensive at the second tier which will have an impact on early game Item build decisions.
• Dart will now only be reduced by 1 second each time a god is hit with Flurry or Acorn Blast which will give enemy players more opportunities to catch this trickster, and Through the Cosmos now has a smaller landing radius requiring Ratatoskr players to be more accurate with where they want to land.

Acorn of Yggdrasil

• Increased the cost of Acorn of Swiftness from 500 -> 700.
• Acorn of Yggdrasil remains at 1600.

Dart

• Decreased Cooldown Reduction from Flurry and Acorn Blast from 2s -> 1s per god hit.

Through the Cosmos

• Reduced Landing Radius from 25 -> 20.

Through the Cosmos

• Ratatoskr will now go the proper distance when canceling this ability at maximum range.
• Fixed the radius being listed incorrectly on the tooltip.

Through the Cosmos

• Fixed Rank 1 of Ratatoskr's ultimate doing 100 damage more than intended.

Through The Cosmos

• Updated the tooltip to properly reflect the increased landing radius if he jumps all 3 times.

General

• Ratatoskr has been up to continued antics on the Battleground. Acorn Of Yggdrasil was providing Ratatoskr more healing that we wanted, while Dart was contributing a bit too much damage to his main damage combo.

Acorn of Yggdrasil

• Decreased Physical Power Scaling of heal from 30% to 15%.

Dart

• Decreased Damage from 80/120/160/200/240 to 70/105/140/175/210.
• Decreased Physical Power Scaling from 80% to 70%.

General

• Reduced HP per level from 75 to 73.

Acorn Blast

• Reduced damage from 50/65/80/95/110 to 40/55/70/85/100.

General

• The Sly Messenger is receiving an additional adjustment around his passive. We are reducing his Heal to better position it as a light sustain tool rather than a semi-potent burst heal. Additionally we are fixing a hitbox issue with Acorn Blast that will impact his performance, notably making the Acorn Blast stun more difficult to confirm at middle to far ranges.

Acorn of Yggdrasil

• Healing reduced from 20 to 15.
• Scaling reduced from 40% to 30%.

Acorn Blast

• Fixed an issue where the hitbox of the acorn projectiles were too large and not matching their visual FX.

General

• Ratatoskr has had a fairly powerful release, so we are looking to take away some of his power throughout the game. In addition to his hotfix adjustment Dart is seeing a base damage decreased while Flurry is seeing adjustments in its cooldown and protection shred. We will continue to monitor the new Ratatoskr closely to ensure he is in a healthy balance spot.

Dart

• Base damage reduced from 100/140/180/220/260 to 80/120/160/200/240.

Flurry

• Cooldown increased from 12s to 14s.
• Protection Debuff Reduced from 2/3/4/5/6 to 2/2/3/3/4.

Acorn Blast

• Increased cooldown from 10s to 15s.

Acorn of Yggdrasil

• Fixed Tier 1 Acorns not showing up in Scoreboard.

Through the Cosmos

• Improved team coloring for Tree.

General

• Ratatoskr is meant to be a mobile menace. Unfortunately, his mobility made him too safe and frustrating to handle. Ratatoskr can now only Dart 3 times maximum, and his Ultimate will take longer to get Ratatoskr to safety. He should have some risk of engaging into the enemy team, and these changes should allow enemies the chance to capitalize on greedy plays.

Dart

• Decreased distance traveled from 40 to 35.
• Is now limited to only 2 resets of Dart within 10s, for a maximum of 3 dashes.

Through the Cosmos

• Increased setup time from 1s to 1.5s.

Flurry of Acorns

• Corrected rank 1 of Flurry of Acorns cooldown from 8s to the desired 12s.

General

• Fixed a condition where he could be killed twice.

Through the Cosmos

• Ratatoskr will now land at the last valid targeted location if the ability times out while targeting a non-valid location.
• Reduced damage from 250/330/410/490/570 to 200/260/320/380/440.
• Reduced scaling from 100% to 70%
• Reduced maximum time on one branch from 4 to 3s.

Dart

• Now marks all targets hit instead of just one target per Dash. Hitting a marked target at any time will cause Dart to not reset its Cooldown.
• Opal Acorn
• Reduced scaling from 70% to 55%.
• Acorn Blast
• Emerald Acorn
• Reduced maximum number of hits that trigger a heal from 5 to 4.
• Sapphire Acorn
• Reduced damage from 30/35/40/45/50 to 10/15/20/25/30.
• Reduced scaling from 60% to 40%.
• Blue Acorn
• Reduced Physical Power from 30 to 25.
• Yellow Acorn
• Reduced Physical Power from 30 to 25.
• Emerald Acorn
• Reduced Physical Penetration from +15 to +10.
• Sapphire Acorn
• Reduced Physical Penetration from +15 to +10.

General

• Released.
