1. Clan of the Hounds in Ranked | Patch notes for 06/06/2024

  3. v3.5.6.38277

  5. Hounds Balancing
  6. A lot of small tweaks and rebalancing of the clans as we’re making it available for ranked games. The idea behind those changes is not only to nerf the strongest elements, but also to rebalance some elements that feel underutilized compared to other elements. For example we’re making Foxskin less strong, in order to make the Wolfskin more interesting, and we’re decreasing the heal of Bloodthirst, while making the speed of heal faster, and making the heal ability of the Boarskin stronger in exchange, to incentivize using it to compensate.
