Posté le par

[UPDATED  09/20] 

After additional testing and hearing responses to the Backstab mechanic, we have decided not to include it in this patch. It was initially intended as an experiment to gather data and feedback from the community. Backstab may return in some form in the future.

Patch 0.13.2.0 will arrive on Wednesday, September 20th. The servers will be brought down for patching at 15:00 CEST (9:00 AM EDT / 6:00 AM PDT). The servers can be unavailable for up to 4 hours due to the season change.

  • Sprint (Z while mounted) cooldown reduced from 20s to 10s
  • Melee and Projectile attacks now deal 20% bonus damage when hitting someone in the back

      • In exceptions where it is not applied a “Fail Cast” notification will appear, the cooldown of the ability will be set to 0 and any energy cost will be refunded
      • These types of abilities will still wait for travels or dashes to complete before the ability is applied, like before
    • Champions will in some states count as “untargetable”, meaning shield abilities or abilities like Other Side can’t be applied. The current abilities where the champion counts as untargetable are:
