Summary

This week we took a lot of the feedback about the early game to heart. We're looking at making the early game a little more frantic by slightly reducing the base health of all Pros and moving that health into the defensive passive. This change is intended to make players slightly more squishy but players can make up for the base health loss by choosing the defensive passive skill early on. We've also increased the lethality of all Pros versus bots to help increase that intended feeling of power. In other words, stuff blows up more!

The other big changes are content inside and outside the game. You can now spawn Black Jacks, Bouncers and Jackbots for your team at new locations in both maps. What better way to look good spawning new minions than with two new uniforms and a new taunt? As usual, feel free to leave feedback on our forums and enjoy this week's rule changes!
