Source notes

Just a few tweaks to keep the action Marvel-ous. Let's see who's getting powered up, and who's facing the nerf hammer!

ADJUSTMENTS

Duelist

Blade

The Daywalker's resilience just slightly leveled up. Blade's got more staying power for those midnight brawls!

  • Increase Lifesteal gained during Bloodline Awakening from 60% to 65%. Reduce self-healing reduction from 40% to 35%.

Human Torch

Johnny Storm's heat is still on, but his flame's been dialed back just enough for ground heroes to catch their breath!

  • Reduce Flame Field (right-click on terrain) Damage Over Time from 25/s to 20/s.

  • Reduce Pyro-Prison Damage Over Time from 50/s to 40/s.

Strategist

Loki

The God of Mischief and his illusions are a tad less punishing!

  • Reduce Mystical Missile damage dealt by Loki and his illusions to enemies from 30 to 25. (Healing for teammates remains unchanged.)
