    Buffs

    • Lifesteal Effectiveness on MinionsBuff

      Before: 50%

      Now: 60% (Note: Marksmen are suffering the most after the changes, so we're returning a small amount of lifesteal power to slightly buff the entire class. As we're also changing marksmen's primary predators in juggernauts and assassins, we're taking a smaller step here to see if we need to do more for this class.)

      Death timers at levels 1-18 have all been reduced by 1 second (Note: In patch 12.23, death timers were changed to be 3 seconds longer in the late-game. We are walking back a bit of that change, and closely monitoring game time while considering further changes.)
