BALANCE:
Stealth Mechanics:
Damage numbers now pop up whenever you hit a stealthed target
stealth can now no longer be broken by damage or Crowd Control
Developer Commentary: We’ve standardized the way Stealth Functions in our game. Before there were many different ways stealth could apply, be removed, or reapplied. Much like the removal of superior CC and CC immunity we are looking to be consistent with gameplay mechanics.
BARIK :
Blunderbuss
Improved damage consistency
Reduced fall-off
Abilities
Barricade:
Increase duration 4s ➡️ 5s
Reduced Cooldown 15s ➡️ 12s
Rocket Boots:
Reduced cooldown 14s ➡️ 12s
Dome Shield:
Increase Flame Turret damage 400 ➡️ 600 per second
Cards:
Palisade:
Reduce scaling {1|1}s ➡️ {0.4|0.4}s
Foundation:
Reduced scaling {1|1}s ➡️ {0.6|0.6}s
Bowling Ball:
Reduced shield duration 4s ➡️ 3s
Red Streak:
Reduced scaling {1.4|1.4}s ➡️ {0.8|0.8}s
Developer Commentary: Our goal with these changes is to move power from Bariks load out into his base kit, making him less reliant on specific cards. Also we made his gun better.
BUCK:
Shotgun:
Increased ammo from 4 ➡️ 5
FURIA :
Talents:
Cherish:
Now also Increases the range of Kindle Soul by 300%
Developer Commentary: The healing bonus of this talent was not the only thing that Furia needed to create a Kindle Soul focused build. Also her sister had a range increase and Furia was Jealous.
IMANI :
Elemental Shift:
Reduced cooldown 10s ➡️ 8s
Frostbomb:
Reduced projectile Speed 60 ➡️ 40
Cards:
Permafrost:
Now increases projectile speed of frost bomb by {scale=12|12}%
Developer Commentary: Permafrost allowed Imani to amplify one of her strengths to a degree that no other damage champions can. Frostbomb by itself is also a hugely powerfull ability that was a little too easy to guarantee.
LIAN :
Cards:
Heraldry:
Reduced scaling {scale=1.5|1.5}s ➡️ {scale=1|1}s
Shining Topaz:
Reduced scaling {scale=0.5|0.5}s ➡️ {scale=0.4|0.4}s
VIKTOR:
Talents:
Cardio:
Increased healing from 250 hps ➡️ 400 hps
THE HUNT:
GENERAL:
Localization:
Fixed an issue where the French description for Atlas’s Second Chance Ability was incorrect.
Fixed an issue where the Spanish version of Lex’s “Warrants Out” card displayed the incorrect numbers.
Fixed a truncation issue in the German Champion select lobby for the message “No Support.”
Gamepad:
Fixed an issue where the “mute” button was displaying instead of the “unmute” button.
Fixed an issue where backing out of the match details screen on match history would send you all the way back to the main menu instead of back to match history.
Emotes:
Fixed an issue where sometimes your ability would not immediately fire when interrupting an emote by pressing an input that would cancel it (shooting or using an ability).
Jitters:
Fixed an issue where other players would visually jitter while walking down slopes.

Fixed an issue where attached deployed shields (Khan and Vivian) in spectator and killcam would jitter massively.
MAPS:
Shattered Desert:
Fixed an issue where players could stand on trees that were not intended for standing.
Fixed an issue where a player’s camera could enter terrain.
Fixed an issue where a mounted player could get stuck between rocks.
CHAMPIONS:

Addressed an issue with Androxus where he could get locked out of firing his ultimate until death if activated right after Netherstep.
Barik:
Added shield crack effects to all of his shield skins.
Drogoz:
Fixed an issue where Dragon Punch did not correctly play in kill cam.
Furia:
Fixed an issue where your Wings of Wrath projectiles would seek banished targets.

Fixed an issue that enabled Imani to see enemies through walls if Cassie used her Scout while Imani was controlling her Dragon.
Addressed an issue where Imani could auto-purchase items for her dragon during the ability.
Khan:
Greatly improved the consistency of Commander’s Grab. Reduced the frequency of players getting locked out without an enemy being stunned.
Inara:
Fixed an issue Resilience would diminish the effect of the “Summit” card.
Moji:
Fixed an issue where Moji could eat her ult victim while polymorphed.

Fixed an issue where Viktor’s sprint animation would not always play in killcam.
Addressed an issue where If Viktor gets stunned while cooking a Grenade, his next Grenade won’t cook and will fire immediately.

4 New Quests on May 22nd, 2019, 1:00am EDST
4 New Quests on June 5th, 2019, 1:00am EDST
GENERAL:
Limit News Popups
If you haven’t logged in in a while, sometimes you’ll get all the news popups at once, fullscreen, in sequence. We made a change so that you’ll still see them in order, but only get one per-login. In addition, new and returning players should not get any popups on Login.
Aim Training:
In the spawn room on the second level you will now find a circle that triggers a series of aim training exercises . Exit and re-enter to change the exercise.
Ping Indicator:
This indicator will fade away after ~.25 seconds of being less than 100 ms. The element is positioned under the bottom right of the player’s health.
< 100 ms – No indicator
100-175 ms – Yellow indicator
> 175 ms – Red indicator
QR Code Support for Account Linking
On the right side of the panel, there is now a button to show QR popup for Google, Facebook, and HiRez login options. On consoles, this will replace the three separate buttons we show on PC. The QR codes should send you to login w/ your platform, then redirect to login w/ Google, Facebook or HiRez.
Verified Player Support
Added support to flag verified members of the community and display a special icon next to their name.
Chat support to select between players with the same name
When whispering a player whose name is not unique, a popup now appears to select the intended recipient.
Custom Games now have a pause button
Previously, you could pause/unpause the game by typing “/pause” in chat, provided you had the permission to do so. Now there’s a button on the Start/Esc menu that does this for you!
Input Context Improvements
Generally took a pass at improving UI inputs with gamepad. Should see less cases of being able to interact with screens behind your current popup, etc.
Terminus 1P Scaling:
We have reduced the first-person scaling on Massacre Axe so it takes up less screen space. This will improve gameplay clarity for Terminus.
NEW DLC – LEGIONNAIRE ATLAS:
Go to war with the Legionnaire Pack.
Unlock the exclusive Legionnaire skin for Atlas, the Man out of Time. Fight the Darkness and save Realm-kind with this heavily armored skin. This pack also comes with 60,000 Gold, enough to immediately unlock Atlas!

60,000 Gold
1 Gold Chest
UPDATE: Originally, the price for the Legionnaire Atlas DLC was incorrectly listed at $4.99.

Buckules
BALANCE:
Gameplay Mechanics – Crowd Control:
There is no longer the concept of Superior Crowd Control and Superior Crowd Control Immunity. Now there is only Crowd Control and Crowd Control Immunity.
Developer Commentary: The different tiers of these mechanics lead to inconsistency in gameplay and was a source of frustration for many players. Affected abilities: Pips Evil Mojo, Moji’s Snack Time:
ASH:
General:
Health:
Reduced 4900 ➡️ 4500
Developer Commentary: Ash is an outlier in the health department boasting the highest base value despite also having large magnitude movement and disruption/CC. The desired relationship for frontlines is that the higher health champions give up some qualities in the other departments for a balanced state. This change is made in the spirit of that balance and will bring her performance down to a fair level.
DROGOZ:
Abilities:
Thrust:
Drogoz will inherit more momentum when using booster shortly after using thrust
Cards:
Decimate:
Range increase 8% ➡️ 15%
Developer Commentary: The Thrust change is most notable in conjunction with the Propel card and will enable Drogoz larger displacement magnitude akin to the earlier versions of the champion.
GROHK:
Outreach:
Description update to appropriately represent radius increase
GROVER:
Abilities:
Crippling Throw:
Cripple Duration Decreased by 2s ➡️ 1s
Developer Commentary: At 2 seconds the duration of the cripple was too often a guaranteed kill, especially at the higher levels of play. This in conjunction with grovers healing power was overkill.
KOGA:
Abilities:
Agility:
Reduced bonus 50% ➡️ 30%
Developer Commentary: The uptime and magnitude of Agility has proven excessive especially compared to comparable abilities on similar champions.
LIAN:
Talent:
Precision:
Damage per shot increased 2% ➡️ 5%
Max percent increased 5% ➡️ 25%
Developer Commentary: The measurable benefit of Precision was negligible, our bad.
MAEVE:
Cards:
Savagery:
The heal now triggers on cast instead of hit
Ability:
Prowl:
Increase Duration 4s ➡️ 5s
Developer Commentary: Some great points were raised by the community highlighting the inadequacies between Maeve’s abilities/cards when compared with similar elements on other champions. These changes aim to rectify those shortcomings.
PIP:
Evil Mojo:
This ability no longer affects CC immune targets
SKYE:
Debilitate:
Percent Damage decreased 30% ➡️ 25%
Developer Commentary: Skye has seen a handful of recent improvements that have greatly improved her quality of life, playrate, and performance. These changes have tipped the scale too much in her favor. The reduction of Poison Bolts damage with the Debilitate talent should keep her as an effective combatant against high HP targets while giving opponents a little more room to breathe.
ZHIN:
Abilities:
Billow:
Duration 2.5s ➡️ 1.5s
Movement speed bonus increased 20% ➡️ 30%
Inhand Lockout time after ability end reduced
Talents:
Smolder:
Healing per second 20% ➡️ 33%
Cards:
Hideout:
Now on activation reduces the cooldown of whirl by 1/2/3/4/5s
Developer Commentary: Billow and its associated cards have been an unfair outlier in the flank class. A defining characteristic of many flanks is a discrete moment of high survivability. These abilities have a static duration that opponents can learn the timing of, an important balancing factor. This change standardizes billow’s duration and tunes some of its supporting modifiers accordingly.
THE HUNT: BUG FIXES:
GENERAL:
Bouncing Projectiles:
Bouncing projectiles such as Grohk’s Shock Pulse now respect Line-of-Sight. Other examples include Deep Roots (Grover Talent) and Splitting Ice (Imani Talent).
These abilities now also only bounce off of valid combat targets. Previously, they could bounce off of the levitation crystals on Warder’s Gate, the elevators on Foreman’s Rise, and more!
Emotes:
Players can no longer emote while scoped. (Kinessa, Strix, Viktor)
Players can no longer spray while emoting.
On the champion customize screen, weapon selection now saves properly when selecting other tabs.
On the champion customize screen, MVP pose selection now saves properly when selecting other tabs.
Gifting screen now supports highlight/focus states on gamepad.
Fixed an issue where navigating to the Battle Pass too quickly could sometimes display default text and no rewards track.
Can no longer add bots to Custom games that are using Ranked/Draft mode.
On the settings menu, changing a keybind no longer resets the scroll bar to the top of the page.
Fixed an issue where toggling between 1p and 3p with scope/ADS champions would cause the scoped view to change its zoom.
Fixed an issue where champions rewound by Atlas would stop contesting the point/payload.
Reworked logic for point captures, which should resolve some cases where one or both teams could not make capture progress or push the payload.
Fixed an issue where some champions would play their weapon fire audio on other abilities after riding a speeder mount.
Fixed an issue where the mute and change-tab actions shared a button on Switch.
Fixed an issue where Destroyer Spray was pixelated up close.
Added text to Omega Crusher Spray.
MAPS:
Frog Isle:
Fixed an issue where sometimes the railings around the spawn rooms would be extra slippery
Jaguar Falls:
Fixed an issue where sometimes the railings around the spawn rooms would be extra slippery.
CHAMPIONS:
Androxus:
Reversal:
Fixed an issue where destroying a shield with Reversal did not activate Power of the Abyss
Fixed an issue where killing an enemy with Reversal did not activate the Kill to Heal item
Nether Step:
Fixed an issue where the dash was quieter than intended on the Huntsman, Fallen, and Battlesuit Godslayer skins.
Ash:
Fixed an issue where lower body continued the animation if her charge was interrupted.
Atlas:
Fixed an issue where damage bonuses only applied to the first fire mode of Atlas’ weapon (none of the charged versions of the shot worked).
Fixed an issue where champions being rewound by Atlas would not contest the point/payload, even if they were in range during their travel.
Fixed an Issue where Resilience would reduce the strength of Exile’s self-slow.
Bomb King:
Fixed an issue where Cosmic and Obsidian skins appear extremely bright.
Sticky Bombs will now detach from a victim that enters an ethereal or damage immune state (Ice Block, ghost walk, etc)
Poppy bomb now properly shows the active ability glow around its ability icon when the bomb is out and can be detonated.
Cassie:
Fixed an issue where Crossbow would not deal full damage at its exact max range.
Grohk:
Fixed an issue where the Outreach card, which increases the range of Healing
Totem, did not show an increased radius VFX in-game. The range of the heal was correct and has not been changed.
Imani:
Fixed an issue where Imani’s Pyreball was incorrectly charging to full over 1s instead of 1.2s
Jenos:
Fixed an issue where Astral Mark VFX would persist on an ally’s corpse if the ability was cast on them just before death.
Khan:
Fixed an issue where killing a Terminus whose ult was ready would cause the connecting beam VFX to never disconnect in 3p.
Lex:
Fixed an issue where assists were also getting bonus credits from Bounty targets.
Fixed an issue where allies aside from Lex could also get Bounty gold for assists.
Maeve:
Fixed a rare issue where you could lose the bonus damage from Cat Burglar by canceling weapon shots with Prowl
Mal’Damba:
Fixed an issue where using Gourd with the Wickerman skin would display enemy team VFX on the ground.
Skye:
Fixed an issue where silence would cancel Hidden, but the UI would persist saying that the ability was still active.
Fixed an issue where activating Hidden while reloading would not show the duration UI.
Terminus:
General:
Fixed an issue where an enemy Abominable/ Jotunn Terminus’ health bar and silhouette would disappear if he was partially obscured from you.
Power Siphon
Fixed an issue where Power Siphon could still be active after respawning.
Fixed an issue where you could damage Terminus through Power Siphon if you fired shots from within the ability’s collision
Reanimate:
Fixed an issue where killing Terminus (with his ult available) using environmental damage would not yield kill credit.
Fixed an issue where, if killed while held by Khan, activating Terminus’ ult would cause the camera to fly away and then pop back to him.
Fixed an issue where, when dying to Khan’s ult’s tick damage, Terminus would get stuck in the “stunned” pose.
Addressed an issue where Terminus could die to multiple players at once in kill feed and could not use his ultimate afterwards.
UNDER INVESTIGATION:
[Khan]Commander’s Grab can clip someone and play Khan’s animations without stunning the enemy
[Androxus] Reversal reportedly sometimes does not block enemy damage

Weapon SFX stuck between rounds or after killcam

Skye:

Could these portals be the source of the ancient evil known as the Darkness?
NEW EVENT: END TIMES:
A large tear in reality has appeared among the ruins of the Shattered Desert, distorting the region in strange ways. Drawn to this anomaly, both the Paladins and Magistrate have sent their forces to claim its unknown power.
Join the fray as both factions battle in the all-new End Times game mode. Players will choose from a selection of either Paladins or Magistrate Champions, as well as several neutral characters; ownership of Champions will not matter for this mode. Do your best to maintain control of the strange tear, but be aware that its unstable nature distorts the world in a new way wherever it relocates.

CHAMPION #40: IMANI, THE LAST WARDER:
Long ago, there was chaos and war. Dragons ruled the Realm, and mankind was left to fight over the scraps that remained. But one wise mage studied the ancient beasts’ secrets. She established the Warders and commanded the power of a dragon for the good of the people.
It was that Warder’s actions which paved the way for the Paladins’ golden age of peace. The Warders were thought to be dead and gone, a relic of a bygone age. But a beacon was lit in their ancient homeland, a call that the Warders were needed once again… If there were any left.
Imani answered that call. Little is known about the Last Warder’s past before she appeared in Dredge’s treasure trove to recover her relics, but one thing is sure: She will uphold the legacy of her lineage and stand against the darkness.

THE HUNT:
We’re improving quality throughout Season 2 with The Hunt: an initiative focused on process and quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and polish. Along with extended PTS, we’ve also expanded our programming team and devoted 20-40% of each development cycle to polish.
The Hunt’s mission is simple: We want to end 2019 with Paladins in a better state than it’s ever been before. Here are a few of the first improvements:
POLISH:
All Siege maps now have callouts for different locations around the map. These callouts are found above your Champion’s portrait.
Bot pathing improvements have been added to allow bots to attempt to jump out of a place where they’ve become stuck.
The client no longer shows the “Return to Lobby” button in the escape menu after reconnecting to a match.
Event modifiers were previously additive to your end-of-match multipliers. In other words, it would calculate with other multipliers such as Battle Pass and Match Boosters, and then apply to your base value. Event modifiers will now multiply your rewards after all other calculations are done. This means 2x Experience events will now provide a true 2x value, etc.
Worked with our server vendor to improve lag issues in the Brazil. Vendors had a misconfiguration, on servers, which has now been corrected.
Optimized servers for northern LATAM by removing vendors that are lower performers . This will be an ongoing project as we try to remove vendors that are not performing to our expectations.
GENERAL BUG FIXES:
Fixed an issue that allowed players to select a non-saved loadout if the match popped while they were constructing it.
Fixed an issue where Lian’s Lounge Emote did not include her chair.
Fixed a text error with the Jenos Squidbert skin.
Corrected the Death Stamp order on the Profile Equip menu.
CC reduction now reduces percent effectiveness of slow instead of duration.
ITEMS:
Haven is now properly reducing damage from the following abilities:
Buck – Net Shot
Maeve – Pounce
Ash – Shoulder Bash
Lian – Grace
Zhin – Spite
Strix – Flare
Talus – Blitz Upper
Khan – Commander’s Grab
MAPS:
Fixed various Warder’s Gate collision issues, one of which could result in players falling through the floor of the map.
CHAMPION BUG FIXES AND POLISH:
Willo:
Fixed an issue were Willo’s acceleration and speed during Fae Flight was sluggish.
Jenos:
Now can’t fire emotes while Stellar Wind is active to prevent Roaming emotes like Tranquil Breeze from cancelling the speed boost but not cancelling the ability and putting it in cooldown.
Grover:
Verdant Expanse now correctly increases Blossom’s radius.
Lian:
Presence’s pre-fire animation now properly locks the firing of all other abilities for Lian so she can no longer fire up her Enlightenment or Grace while charging Presence.
Fixed an issue that prevented Presence from hitting when the target was partially occluded.
Vivian:
The knockback from exploding sensor drones with the Booby Trap talent no longer ignores CC immunity.
Sha Lin:
The knockback from Impaler Arrow’s explosion no longer ignores CC immunity.
Makoa:
The Shell Spin ability description now lists the damage it deals
Moji:
Boom Boom now detonates at 15 radius instead of 12.75.
Terminus:
Fixed a bug where Terminus could not use Reanimate in the shooting range.
Fixed a bug where Terminus’s 3P camera was not positioned correctly during Reanimate.
UNDER INVESTIGATION:
Below are some of our highest priority gameplay issues that we are putting effort and resources into fixing. If you have any information or perspective that could aid in the solving of the below issues, please let us know through our dedicated Bug Reporting Forum here.
Match Lobby:
Sometimes Players become disconnected from the match lobby or the match lobby fails to launch. Resulting in players being penalized with deserter.

Sometimes Players with high latency incur a client server desync that results in Terminus not being able to swing his Axe.
Power Siphon reportedly sometimes allows shots to travel through.
Sometimes Players with high latency stutter and warp through the air while Shatterfall is being performed.
Terminus can appear to move while Reanimate is firing.
Activating Reanimate after being Khan Ulted teleports Terminus.
Terminus is forced to Ult in certain circumstances.
Terminus interacting oddly with spawn doors while Ult is charged.

Sha Lin:
Sometimes players can lose FPS while playing this Champion.

GENERAL:
END OF MATCH REWARDS:
We have refactored a how some of our end of match rewards were calculated:
Gold from matches will have a higher emphasis on performance. Players that perform well will see larger award amounts
Event modifiers were previously additive into your end of match multipliers.

Event modifiers will now multiply your rewards after all other calculations are done. This means 2x Experience events will now provide a true 2x value!

BALANCE & GAMEPLAY CHANGES:
CARD CHANGES:
Developer Commentary: One of the important aspects of Paladins’ fun is the flow of each match. Players start fairly durable, but as offensive item shop picks come online, aspects like tankiness and healing are diminished and lead to more intense final moments. Cards and Talents that circumvent this disrupt the flow and lead to unnatural moments of weakness early on that persist throughout the entire game.
Removed all instances of cauterize, wrecker, reveal, and crowd control reduction from Champion loadout cards.
TALENTS:
Developer Commentary: A key part of Paladins is the ability to customize your own playstyle. Talents present one of the best avenues to define the way YOU want to play each Champion, and those playstyles should be as diverse and meaningful as possible. Returning to our original three Talent set-up allows us to make each Talent pick more unique and have a manner of impact distinctly its own.
All Champions now have three Talents.
ITEM STORE:
Developer Commentary: We want the item store to be a more effective element in creating diverse playstyles and counter options. Many useful items, like Illuminate, were often forgone because restrictions meant having to give up more general use items like Haven. We’re lifting these restriction to open up the potential combinations of item purchases and are excited to see the more flexible builds and playstyles players concoct.
Category resctrictions have been lifted.
New Prices:
Defense:
Resilience 250/500/750
Illuminate 150/300/450
Healing:
Kill to Heal 200/400/600
Life Rip 200/400/600
Offense:
Bulldozer 150/300/450
Deft Hands 250/500/750
CHAMPIONS:
Androxus:
Developer Commentary: The functional changes to Defiance in the past few updates have drastically improved the skill’s usability. However, Defiance’s ease of use does not match up to the damage output. We’ve adjusted this ability to deal equal damage to Androxus’ Revolver, giving players an option to use Defiance as a more confirmable finisher or filler during reloads.
Abilities:
Defiance damage reduced to 520
Talents:
Dark Stalker removed
Cursed Cylinder is now the default Talent
Cards:
Abyssal Touch scaling reduced to {1|1}s
Spiteful – NEW: Killing enemies with Defiance generates {3|3}% Ultimate charge
Ash:
Developer Commentary: Ash’s ultimate has always been an amazing defensive option, but is limited to only protecting herself. The 2s stun from Rally Here allows Assert Dominance to have a much wider range of uses during matches.
Abilities
Assert Dominance no longer applies knockback, now stuns on hit for 2s
Talents:
Rally Here removed
Cards:
Indomitable – NEW: Gain {10|10}% Lifesteal
Fervor – NEW: Increase your ammo count by {1|1}

Health:
Health reduced 2300 ➡️ 2200
Talents:
Just Breathe removed
Kinetics – NEW: Hitting an enemy with Blast Shot grants {1|1} Ammunition
Cards:

Dredge:
Abilities:

Talents:
Freebooter removed
Cards:
Crow’s Nest scaling reduced {600|200} ➡️ {500|100}
Spy Glass renamed to Crow’s Nest
Spy Glass – NEW: Broadside knocks you up for {600|200}
Drogoz:
W.Y.R.M. Jets was often regarded as the least attractive talent by Drogoz Players. Now the impact of the talent will be more apparent and better diversify Drogoz’s available playstyles.
Health:
Health reduced 2400 -> 2200
Talents:
Reign of Terror removed
W.Y.R.M. Jets – NEW: Now empowers your booster’s flight qualities
Cards:
Apex Predator – NEW: Gain {50|50} Health
Decimate – NEW: Increase Salvo’s explosion radius by {8|8}%
Follow the Scent – NEW: Increase the size of your Fire Spit by {20|20}%
Evie:
Talents:
Reprieve removed
Over the Moon is now the default Talent
Snow Globe now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 2
Cards:
Frigid Field – NEW: Heal for {50|50} every second during Ice Block
Fernando:
Talents:

Scorch subsequent target hit damage increased 30% ➡️ 45%
Cards:
Hot Pursuit – NEW: Fireball projectile speed increased {15|15}%
Incinerate – NEW: Reduce the cooldown of Fireball by {0.6|0.6}s (to provide consistency with similar Cards)

Grohk:
Talent:
Wraith removed

Totemic Ward is now the default Talent
Grover:
Abilities:
Blossom range increased by 50%
Talents:
Efflorescence removed
Deep Roots now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
Force of Nature – NEW: Dropping below 50% health grants a {150|150} health shield for 3s.
Inara:
Talents:
Wrath of Stagalla removed
Treacherous grounds now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
Insurmountable – NEW: Increase your ammo count by {1|1}
Jenos:
Developer Commentary: Healing in Paladins is an integral part of strong team composition, with burst healing options being especially important. As one of the only Supports in Paladins without a burst heal, we felt Jenos was almost pigeon holed into picking Celestial Touch to maintain the healer identity. We’ve moved a portion of that Burst Heal to his base ability to allow Jenos more varied styles without having to give up his Support identity.
Abilities
Astral Mark now heals for an additional 5% of allies’ max health
Talents:
Celestial Touch removed
Cards:
Sidereal – NEW: Gain {50|50} Health
Eclipse – NEW: Every second channeling Void Grip heals you for {50|50}
Khan:
Developer Commentary: Khan’s Ultimate was too confirmable for the payoff it delivered. Particularly in higher level play, it practically guarantees a 5v4 team fight on use. Now, the Ultimate still retains its power, but requires aim and can be dodged or juked by wary opponents.
Abilities:
Overpower is now a skillshot and must be aimed.
Missing Overpower provides 30% ultimate charge back to Khan
Increased Overpower damage from 600 ➡️ 700
Overpower Range reduced 300 ➡️ 180
Players within Overpower range will appear with an orange outline
Talents:
Firing Line removed

Open Season – NEW: Full charged weapon hits refund {1|1} ammo
Lie in Wait – NEW: After 2s of standing still, regenerate {1|1} ammo every 2 seconds
Koga:
Developer Commentary: Koga’s Dragon Stance, while a powerful ranged burst option, had difficulty contending with the overall strength of his Submachine Guns, which provide comparable lethality with little cost. We’ve made these changes to shift the power of his tools and allow for more varied gameplay, which is the heart of Paladins’ identity.
Talents:
Master of Arms removed
Dragon Fangs health consumption per second reduced 200 ➡️ 150
Dragon Fangs now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Blood Reaper – NEW: Cyclone Strike charges 15% faster and now deals up to 100% of target’s health as damage over its duration.
Submachine Guns ammo capacity reduced 70 ➡️ 60
Time in/out of Dragon Stance reduced by 15%
Hellkite Claws damage increased 600 ➡️ 650
Hellkite Claws projectile speed increased by 10%
Skewer damage increased 600 ➡️ 700
Cards:
Surprise! ammo regeneration reduced {8|8} ➡️ {6|6}

Guild Tactics now has a 5s cooldown on its effect
Memento – NEW: Kills grant {2|2}% Ultimate Charge
Unyielding –NEW: Reduce energy consumption by {6|6}% while in Dragon Stance
Lex:
Abilities
The Law no longer slows hit enemies
The Law now destroys enemy shields
Retribution now selects targets globally
Talents:
The Law Won removed
Death Hastens now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Lian:
Developer Commentary: Like other Cards and Talents that bypass purchasing offensive items, Death and Taxes especially disrupted the flow of matches.
Talents
Death and Taxes removed
Precision – NEW: Hitting consecutive shots and abilities increases your Heirloom Rifle damage against those targets by 2% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 16%.
Cards:
Shining Topaz – NEW: Enemies hit by Valor reduces the cooldown of Presence by {0.5|0.5}s
Superiority – NEW: Ammo increase {1|1}
Royal Seal – NEW: Enemies hit by Presence reduce Valors cooldown {0.6|0.6}s
Eagle’s Emerald – NEW: Ammo regenerates on hit {1|1}
Maeve:
Abilities:
Nine Lives now also heals for 400 on activation
Talents:
Artful Dodger removed
Cat Burglar is now the default Talent
Street Justice now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Makoa:
Talents:
Davey Jones Locker removed
Cards:

Pip:
Talents:
Mischief removed
Catalyst now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 2
Ruckus:
Talents:
Overdrive removed
Aerial Assault now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
At The Ready – NEW: Successful hits with Rocket Launcher restore {5|5} ammunition
Seris:
Developer Commentary: Restore Soul outputs a large amount of healing, but the occasions that Seris gets full use of that heal are rare. Many times, players are simply overhealing lower health champions while also being locked out from other actions. This forced players into using Void Abides to remain competitive with other Supports. We’ve reworked the Void Abides functionality into the base Restore Soul at slightly lower value. This allows Seris to be a more effective solo healer and widen her talent choices across all levels of play.
Abilities:
Restore Soul now also heals all allies within 50ft of your target for 30% of the healing value at base
Talents:
Void Abides removed
Mortal Reach now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 2
Cards:
Dark Sight – NEW: Activating Rend Soul restores {1|1} ammunition
Sha Lin:
Talents:
Shifting Sands removed
Cards:
Quick Sand – NEW: Reduced Impaler Arrow’s cooldown by {0.6|0.6}s
Poise – NEW: Reduced the movement speed penalty while drawing your Long Bow by {20|20}%
Skewer – NEW: Successful hits with Impaler Arrow reduce the cooldown of planted by {1|1}s
Skye:
Developer Commentary: Smoke Screen’s ability to interfere with line of sight has often been a point of frustration, as it can’t be countered like normal stealth and its effect was applied in a very jarring, unclear way. We’ve changed the functionality to apply the stealth system that already has clear tells and counters.
Abilities:
Smoke Screen no longer interferes with enemy line of sight
Amount of visual effects on Smoke Screen has been reduced
Smoke Screen will now Grant Stealth every 0.5s while Skye is within the deployable
Smoke Screen will now refresh the benefits of Healing Vapors and Dissipate every 0.5s
Talents:
Surprise Attack removed
Smoke and Dagger – NEW: Smoke Screen now Heals allies inside it for 400 Health every 1s
Cards:
Healing Vapors now heals {100|100} health over 4s ➡️ 2s
Dissipate buff now lasts 2s
Dissipate now grants {10|10}% ➡️{7|7}% Movement Speed
Decrepify – NEW: Hitting poison bolts causes you to not consume ammo for {0.6|0.6}s
Twilight Armor – NEW: Increase your ammo count by {2|2}.
Quick Smoker cooldown reduction decreased {1|1}s ➡️ {0.6|0.6}s
Specter’s duration increase of Smoke Screen reduced {1|1}s ➡️ {0.6|0.6}s
Strix:
Developer Commentary: Unauthorized Use diverted from its intended design as a strong burst damage option for Strix’s pistol and instead became a very powerful utility card that could keep much of the enemy team revealed for far longer and more frequently than desired. We’ve removed the reveal component of the Talent and increased its projectile speed to shift it more towards the original intent as a powerful pistol burst option.
Talents:
Ambush removed
Unauthorized Use no longer reveals
Unauthorized Use projectile speed increased 100 -> 250
Unauthorized Use now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 2
Cards:
Overburn – NEW: Flare lasts {0.6|0.6}s longer
Talus:
Talents:
Raging Demon removed
Inner Strength damage reduction removed
Inner Strength is now the default Talent
Cards:
Antediluvian – NEW: Increase the duration of Overcharge by {0.2|0.2}s
Dark Vision – NEW: Kills with Blitz Upper grant {5|5}% Ultimate charge
Terminus:
Developer Commentary: Power Siphon is an incredibly powerful tool at Terminus’ disposal and the freedom he has to use it at any moment, given he has the resources, makes it difficult to gauge when it’s the right time to attack him. We’ve added a short cooldown to prevent quick-swapping the Siphon and to make his vulnerability periods much more consistent.
Abilities:
Power Siphon Cooldown reduced 3s ➡️ 1s
Talents:
Seething Rage removed
Cards:
Abomination – NEW: Successful hits with Calamity blast grant {2|2}% Power Siphon Energy
It Follows – NEW: Gain {1|1}% movement speed per calamity charge
It Follows is now a Calamity Blast Card
It Watches – NEW: Hitting enemies with your Massacre Axe generates {2|2}% Power Siphon Energy
It Watches is now a Weapon/Armor Card
Forsaken – NEW: Hitting enemies with your Massacre Axe generates {10|10}% of a Calamity Charge.
Torvald:
Talents:
Alternating Current removed
Thanks, Grandpa is now the default Talent
Cards:
Rune Torrent – NEW: Every second channeling Nullify generates 2 ammo
Glyph of the Fist – NEW: Increase your ammo count by {1|1}
Glyph of Freedom – NEW: Eliminations reduce all active cooldowns by {8|8}%
Tyra
Developer Commentary: Mercy Kill, while a strong Frontline killer option, had trouble finding a place since Burn Monster already allowed you to effectively counter them. We’ve reworked it to grant Nade Launcher charges, giving Tyra a much more flexible pocket of burst she can pull out to finish opponents and help in duels.
Abilities
Auto Rifle now provides 15% lifesteal
Talents:
First Blood removed
Mercy Kill – NEW: Nade Launcher now has 3 charges
Mercy Kill is now the default Talent
Hunting Party now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 2
Cards:
Napalm – NEW: Activating Fire Bomb restores {4|4} ammo
Trail Blazer – NEW: Kills grant {5|5} ammo
Viktor:
Talents:
Firefight removed
Burst Mode time between shots in burst decreased 0.07s ➡️ 0.05s
Burst Mode time between burst increased 0.38s ➡️ 0.40s
Burst Mode now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cardio is now the default Talent
Cards:
Predator NEW: Gain {8|8}% Lifesteal while in Iron Sights
Vivian:
Talents:
Sapper Rounds removed
Opportunity in Chaos now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
Runic Ammunition – NEW: Provides {5|5}% Lifesteal
Willo:
Talents:
Scorched Earth removed
Scorn now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
Pixie Dust heal increased {25|25} ➡️ {50|50}
Nectar heal increased {50|50} ➡️ {75|75}
Ying:
Talents:
Lifelike removed
Life Exchange now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 2
Resonance now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
Brittle cooldown reduction reduced {0.7|0.7} ➡️ {0.5|0.5}s
Zhin:
Developer Commentary: Counter can an effective tool in turning the tides of a duel in your favor, but a large part of its payoff relies on Zhin being in melee range. In practical use players are more often engaging further away with the ability instead functioning as a very brief moment of immunity. We’ve changed the retaliatory strike to fire one of his ranged projectiles, allowing the ability to regain its identity as a “counter” option in combat rather than a minor safety option.
Abilities:
Counter no longer deals melee strike upon receiving a hit while active
Counter now fires a Inferno Blade projectile at the player’s crosshair location upon receiving a hit
Counter damage increased 560 ➡️ 600
Spite range slightly increased
Cards:
Successful hits with Master Stance counter reduces the cooldown of Whirl by {scale=1|1}s
Viciousness ammo gain increased{1|1} ➡️ {2|2}
Talents:
Retaliation removed
Smolder now unlocked at Champion Mastery Level 8
Cards:
Perfect Block heal increased {50|50} -> {100|100} health

BALANCE
Developer Commentary: Update 1.9 is the last update of this Paladins Season! This is a relatively minor balance pass ahead of our next update, which will feature massive new season balance changes. Expect major adjustments to the Item Store, Champion Base Abilities, Champion Talents, and Cards (40+). We’ll be hosting special shows on Mixer to discuss the upcoming season changes. Follow us on social media for more details!
GENERAL
Reduced the Magnitude of the camera shake or “Aim Punch” that players received while taking damage
CHAMPIONS
Furia
Kindle Soul cooldown reduced from 5s ➡️ 4s
Developer Commentary: We are reverting the Kindle Soul cooldown nerf from Update 1.6. Furia released as one of the most winning Champions in Paladins, holding a top 3 spot at all player skill levels and queues for multiple patches. We feel she has finally settled into a much healthier spot overall, but still lacks the healing throughput to make her a competitive Support.
Dredge
Scuttle now has damage fall-off.
Ying
Added a unique sound to Life Exchange when successfully healing an ally with Shatter.
BUG FIXES
GENERAL
Fixed an issue where the Damage Dealt recap UI would sometimes display erroneous text.
CHAMPIONS
Cassie
Fixed an issue that would sometimes allow Cassie’s ultimate to permanently reveal the enemy team.
Inara
Fixed an interaction with Jenos that allowed Inara to move freely while channeling her Ultimate.
Jenos
Fixed an issue where Golden Star Splitter was untextured.
Kinessa
Oppressor Mines properly have two charges again.
Maeve
Fixed texture clipping on on Raeve Maeve’s Helmet.
Seris
Fixed instances of looping sound effects when using Restore Soul with either the Jade Priestess or Remix weapons equipped.
Willo
Cleaned up the Whirlibird emote animation.

CONSOLE:
Gyro Controls:
Switch and PS4 Players may now activate Gyro Control functionality in the Controls section of the Options Menu! Gyro is the next level of player-to-game interface and has strong advantages over the traditional console control scheme. The range of motion and responsiveness of a players wrists outclasses that of a players thumbs, a fact that Gyro controls makes apparent once a player is accustomed to the mechanics. Paladins is the first multiplayer game to support Gyro Controls on PlayStation 4!
Gyro Control Functionality:
Allows the player to move their camera by physically moving the game controller
The sensitivity of Gyro Controls allows players to easily fine-tune their aim
Players trying Gyro Controls for the first time should be patient and play many matches to develop their reflexes and aiming capability
Experienced users may adjust their X and Y axis Gyro sensitivity
GENERAL:
Dark Tides Event Ending
The Dark Tides event will come to a close with the release of 1.8. Players who have not spent their Vault Key will have it converted into Iron Madam Inara.
VFX/Music Skin Tech:
The VFX and Music technology used for Raeve Maeve has undergone several improvements to VFX visual fidelity and consistency of audio feedback.
Equipping the EDM Weapons from Jenos, Strix, and Maeve will modulate the brightness of non-EDM skin effects to the beat of the Weapon music.
Gifting:

BALANCE
Developer Commentary: In 1.8, we put our focus towards sources of strong burst damage.

Skye
BALANCE:
Androxus:
Defiance:
No longer passes through Power Siphon and Reversal
Now properly classified as Area of Effect damage
Added 0.5s Cooldown
Developer Commentary: Androxus’ Defiance is a strong option for burst damage in a close range engagement but the frequency at which you could use the ability was too high. We’ve added a cooldown so that the timing in which you choose to use the ability holds more weight.
Dredge:
Abilities:
Harpoon:
Reduced Harpoon’s ability to interrupt your inhand fire
Now properly classified as Area of Effect damage
Talents:
Abyss Spike:
Trigger Radius Increased (66%)
Explosion Radius Increased (16%)
Cards:
Hull Piercer:
Now reduces Harpoons cooldown by [1|1]s
Cursed Weaponry:
Now grants ammo on successful harpoon hit
Developer Commentary: Dredge has a lot of tools at his disposal to fight Frontlines. His Broadside ability in particular is a very effective tool at controlling space. He did not need the shield destroying capability that Hull piercer provided, especially in conjunction with the Hurl talent. We’ve changed the effect of Hull Piercer to modify the cooldown of Harpoon in order to give non-Hurl-using players the ability to increase their Harpoon frequency.
Furia:
Inflame:
Furia will no longer generate ultimate charge from dealing damage while under the effects of her ultimate
Lex:
The Law:
Now properly classified as Area of Effect damage
Skye:
Weapon:
Wrist Crossbow:
Reduced damage fall-off
Increased base ammo by 5
Developer Commentary: Comparing Skye to other Flanks, her potential damage in a single magazine was relatively low. We’ve expanded her max ammo and effective range a bit to put her on a more even playing field.

New in Paladins 1.60 Dark Tides (Oct 9, 2018)

New Champion:
Dredge, Admiral of the Abyss:
Admiral Dredge ruled the eight oceans as as the Realm’s most feared pirate until one final treasure led to his doom. Dredge stole the Warders’ relics from the Paladins, but could not tame the dragons’ might. His ship was destroyed, his crew scattered, and Dredge sank to certain death in the the ocean’s depths. The Abyss intervened and bore Dredge back into the Realm of the living. Now the undead admiral sails the seas again. And none will take his treasure.

Developer Commentary – Unlimited Skins & Cosmetic Obtainability Updates:
Unlimited is the latest cosmetic classification in Paladins. Unlimited Skins and cosmetics are high-end event content that will become available for direct purchase after their event has ended for the full price of that event.
The direct purchase option for Unlimited Skins only becomes available after the event has ended.
The direct purchase option only includes the event reward skin, and not the content bundled with it during the event.
Full Moon Viktor will be the first Unlimited skin released for Paladins, available for 1500 Crystals starting in 1.8.
Unlimited Skins will always be available for direct purchase, and never rotate out.
Unlimited Skins will never be available at a discount or available in Chests or the Deal of the Day.
Unlimited Skins are our answer to a long time frustration with new players – the disappointment that there is no way to acquire certain event skins that were marked as Limited. We don’t anticipate that many players will choose to unlock Unlimited skins in this manner, but we wanted to give a path for collectors to be able to unlock these skins at a premium without hurting the exclusivity of these skins for players that actually participated in the events.
Character Progression Obtainability:
Items that become unlocked or available for purchasing through Character Progression
Examples: Mastery Emotes, Gold Skins, Champion Titles
Normal Obtainability:
Cosmetics that are available for direct purchase immediately
Examples: Champion Recolors, Huntsman Androxus, Alley Cat Maeve
Exclusive Obtainability:
Exclusive items are not available for direct purchase, but through other means – Events, Battle Passes, Chests, etc.
Exclusive content is rotated in and out, and not always available for purchase.
Examples: Archangel Tyra, Akuma Makoa, Cutting Shapes (Maeve Dance Emote), Trick or Treat Talus
Unlimited Obtainability:
Unlimited Items are event-based items that become available for direct purchase after their event has ended, but for the full premium price of that event.
Examples: Full Moon Viktor
Limited Obtainability:
Limited Edition are only available for a single time period. Once their special event or promotion has ended, they will never be available in-game again.
Example: Abyssal Lord Drogoz, Crimson Serpent Mount, Convention Skins
New Onslaught Map:
Marauder’s Port:
Fight for control on Paladins newest Onslaught map, Marauder’s Port.
In ancient times, this remote island was home to a dark sect: A cult that worshipped the Abyss. Its members vanished and most honest citizens fled, afraid to walk amongst the cursed ruins. The isle became a haven for crooks, scoundrels, and anyone escaping watchful eyes – including the pirate Dredge.

Sound Mix:
Our sound mix has been updated to better convey the danger and various threat level of enemies around you. This is our first pass, and we will continue to adjust our mix as we gather more information and feedback.
Revamped our Threat System by adding multiple variations and volumes to our “damage taken” sound. This revamp better communicates the level of danger necessary for different situations by adjusting the volume of your in-game sounds to help you identify the biggest threats to your survival.
Reduced the volume of friendly sounds in varying magnitude to allow players to more accurately identify threats over teammates (footsteps, abilities, weapon fire, etc).
Added missing friendly ultimate lines
Willo
Strix
Moji
Cassie (various skins)
Deal of the Day:
Deal of the Day is a new feature that bundles together Paladins content at a discount. The Deal of the Day is unique to each player and located in the store. Your personal Deal of the Day bundle will feature 3 unowned cosmetics containing anything from Legendary Skins to Mounts, Voice Packs, and more.
Going forward, Deal of the Day will not include new content from the past 6 months
Steam Linking:
When launching Paladins from Steam, players will now be notified if their Steam and Hi-Rez accounts are not linked and be prompted to do so.
In 1.8, players with linked accounts who launch from Steam will bypass the Paladins Launcher and go straight into game.
Player Silhouettes:
Enemy players will now have white silhouettes when out of your weapon’s max range.
Crosshair Updates:
Drop Crosshair Style renamed to “Circle”
New Crosshair Style “Drop” added to options
Console:
With 1.6 we will be introducing an improved version of our console controls and settings. We received great feedback on our earlier versions that has shaped this latest implementation. This includes a new aim assist system, improvements to aiming and turning, and bringing our controller settings more in line with the modern console FPS experience.
Aim Assist:
Tracking enemies and landing shots will feel better and more consistent due to the new type of aim assistance that helps players smoothly acquire and track targets without feeling too strong and restrictive.
Steps have been taken to improve common issues with aim assist such as being “jerked” in an abrupt manner when nearby targets pass by your camera.
Aim assist has been improved when fighting groups of targets.
Improved Default Settings:
We have improved the functionality of our controller options and consolidated them into a settings suite akin to modern shooters.
With this Update your settings will be reset to the new defaults. We recommend playing with these new defaults and getting a feel for them before adjusting your settings.
Scope Sensitivity
Default set to -1
X Axis Sensitivity
Converted to 1- 10 scale
Default set to 3
Y Axis Sensitivity
Converted to 1- 10 scale
Default set to 3
Turn Acceleration Strength
Default set to 3
A turn acceleration value of 10 means that there is no acceleration and that you are immediately at max speed
Aim Assist Friction Strength
Option removed
Friction is no longer used, the new aim assist system serves the same purpose as friction without the unpleasant side effects.
Aim Assist Magnet Strength
Option removed
Magnetism is now used minimally making the option redundant.
Another vital part of console controls is Turn Acceleration Mode. Each mode represents a different way of playing Paladins with a controller; each style has its own positive and negative qualities. The core human-controller relationship that these modes represent is how your character turns based on your movement of the controller sticks. Below are descriptions of how these function.
Dynamic (Default):
Dynamic uses a non-linear turn speed ramp from stick tilt, allowing much finer movement around the inside of the stick, but ramping up faster toward the edges (ex. 17% max turn speed at 50% tilt, and 50% max turn speed at 80% tilt). Acceleration also changes as turn speed changes. For a few fractions of a second, it’s slower acceleration, to help people that aim by “flicking” the stick. It then accelerates massively to avoid feeling sluggish and allow turning quickly. It then slows the acceleration, allowing longer turns to remain accurate, while allowing further turn speed increase for quicker 180s. This is the recommended style.
Classic:
Classic uses a linear speed ramp, matching percent of max turn speed with stick tilt at a 1 to 1 ratio (50% stick tilt is 50% of max turn speed). Turn Speed approaches this target value at a constant rate (constant acceleration).
Precision:
Precision uses a linear speed ramp up to max stick tilt with no acceleration. However, at max stick tilt, the turn speed accelerates faster, based on the Turn Acceleration Strength setting.

Lighting and material overhaul to increase visibility and performance.

Balance:
Developer Commentary: With Hi-Rez Expo just around the corner, 1.6 and 1.7 balance will be minimized to allow our competitive players the most practice time possible with the current game state.
Click here for more information on the Paladins World Championship at Dreamhack Atlanta.
Androxus:
Talents
Defiant Fist
Increased damage per stack 10% ➡️ 15%
Ash:
Kinetic Burst
Damage increased from 300 ➡️ 450
Furia:
Pyre Blade
Reduced damage done at extended ranges
Abilities
Kindle Soul
Increased Cooldown 4s ➡️ 5s
Developer Commentary: We are still happy with Furia’s level of lethality at close ranges, but that lethality extends to longer range engagements too easily. We’ve increased Furia’s damage falloff to reduce her effectiveness at poking players out from afar.
Koga:
Hellkite Claws
Increased Range by 15%
Increased Projectile Speed by 15%
Talents
Master of Arms
Reduced chance of hits to cost no ammo 100% ➡️ 50%
Developer Commentary: Master of Arms was over performing in comparison to Koga’s other talents, allowing skilled players to significantly reduce their downtime and risk when fighting multiple opponents in a row. Dragon Stance is meant to be Koga’s moment of power, trading off his primary resource for powerful new weapons. Unfortunately the resource drain outweighed the value of Hellkite Claws in most situations – so we’ve made Hellkite Claws easier to confirm, giving more opportunities for Koga to be effective with Dragon Stance.
Lex:
Magnums
Reduced Accuracy loss per shot
Mal’Damba:
Gourd
Increased Gourds Health per second 280 ➡️ 300
Talus:
Veracharger
Increased the range before damage falloff begins.
Abilities
True Power
Decreased Ultimate knockback strength by 44%
Developer Commentary: Talus’ True Power was actively conflicting with the rest of his kit. The knockback was so powerful, enemies were pushed out of Talus’ effective range, taking reduced damage from his weapon and not allowing a strong follow-up. These adjustments fix two things:
Veracharger is now doing full damage to players knocked back by True Power
Enemies knocked back by True Power are now in range of Blitz Upper
Bug Fixes:
Champions:
Androxus:
Issues with Defiance’s hitbox at close range.
Steam Demon no longer players hover audio at start of match.
Drogoz:
Increased Fire Spit initial fire and explosion to enemies.
Fernando:
Fixed animation bug with weapon fire.
Furia:
Wings of Wrath orb damage is now properly reduced by Haven.
Khan:
Ameri-Khan’s Weapon now properly leaves bullet decals
Makoa:
Fixed an animation issue with Makoa’s Shell Spin when using Davy Jones’ Locker.
Mal’Damba:
Dread Serpent now properly fears through shields and deployables
Pip:
Sturdy now properly reduces knockback with Combat Medic equipped.
Sha Lin:
Removed an incorrect sound clip attached to Sha Lins jump and landing noises.
Terminus:
Damage Dealt UI now shows the correct name for Reanimate.
Crush no longer displays a slow debuff to enemies hit by Shaterfall.
Can now properly see enemy silhouettes when they are revealed.
General:
14-day Daily Login cycle and 24-hour Daily Login cycle corrected to have the same end time – 9:00AM UTC. This will go into effect starting with September 26th’s cycle.
Players will no longer mount in TDM.
Fixed a case where Burst Fire weapons could get into a state where it would lock firing.
Reload is now blocked while silenced.
Fixed a case where lobbed projectiles could occasionally desync on other clients vs the server, resulting in differing visual explosion locations.
Fixed an issue where players would dismount on round start if they mounted early in spawn.

New in Paladins 1.3 Koga's Revenge (Aug 2, 2018)

New in Paladins 1.10 Rise of Furia (Jun 11, 2018)

NEW CHAMPION - FURIA:
Sarah prayed to the Eternal Pyre for the strength to fight the Abyss and avenge her fallen sister. Her prayers were answered. She was saved from the Abyss and transformed into Furia: An avenging Angel of cleansing flame incarnate. Now the former sisters stand opposed, vessels of otherworldly powers far beyond that of mere mortals.

NEW EVENT - RISE OF FURIA:
ESCAPE THE ABYSS:
Relive the day the city of Seris was destroyed and thousands of souls were cast into the Abyss. You have been trapped in the vile recesses of this ancient hell… but there is still hope. Race against your doom and climb the Abyssal Spire. As you slay the wretched shadows atop, you’ll earn Abyssal Shards which can be exchanged for exclusive Rise of Furia event items. Face off in an epic Team Death Match at the top in front of the Abyssal Lord himself. Remember, child: Even in the blackest night, the Pyre will light your path.
Event Overview:
Climb the Spire:
Climb out of the Abyss, jumping from platforms, collecting Pyre Blessings, and racing up the Abyssal Spire with your team. Be careful along the way: one wrong step and you might fall into the Abyss itself. Once atop the Spire, face off against your shadows to determine which of you has earned the right to escape in front of the Lord of Abyss himself.
Collect Abyssal Shards:
Climb the Spire and collect Abyssal Shards for every kill your team earns at the top, or purchase Bundles to speed up the process.
Unlock New Cosmetics!:
There are over 15 new cosmetics this patch, including new Music Themes! Spend your Abyssal Shards and unlock exclusive content only available during the Rise of Furia event. To gain access to the event store, you must purchase one skin bundle.
Event Details:
The Champions:
Players are assigned a random Champion to race up the spire.
Both teams are comprised of the same Champions.
The Climb:
Players have increased movement speed and jump height to help them traverse the Abyssal Spire.
Players are unable to damage or impede their opponents’ progress during the climb.
The Abyss will slowly rise during the Climb, forcing players towards the top. Falling into the Abyss will reset you to the lowest current checkpoint.
Pyre’s Blessing are placed throughout the climb, providing ultimate charge to the team who can grab them first!
Destroying the Crystal near the top will unlock the Abyssal Spire’s Arena, bringing all players to the top of the Spire. The team that unlocks the Arena earns additional ultimate charge.
The Fight:
The fight follows Team Deathmatch Rules - first team to 30 kills wins the match.

A New Frontier
Open Beta 70 Patch | April 25th
Overview
Welcome to OB70!
After millions of matches, Khan’s assault on Ascension Peak is coming to a end. So If you wanted to unlock that Soul Eater Jenos skin, I hope you’re reading this before the update has released!

Systems
VIP Program
As we approach launch, the development team is taking a close look at all of Paladins’ core systems. We’ve made great progress in recent patches, cleaning up our UI, launching our first event, and fixing long standing bugs. With that in mind, we are removing the VIP Program at the end of OB69, and introducing a new system - the Battle Pass - to replace it in a future update.
The VIP program had a number of issues, and this is another big step towards Paladins’ future. Be sure to read up on the full details surrounding the removal of VIP HERE.
We’re introducing all past VIP skins into the store rotation in OB69, so players who missed out on the previous great deals will now have a chance to spend their VIP Points on them!

Sprays & Global Equips
After OB69, Paladins will be moving to a global spray equip system. That means you will no longer have sprays locked to specific champions, and instead will be able to use all sprays no matter which Champion you want to play. We will be removing Champion-specific Mastery Sprays once OB69 goes live, and players will be refunded with the currency they purchased the spray with.
After OB69, players will no longer be able to unlock skin and card art sprays. We will be focusing on making higher quality and more desirable sprays as we get closer to Paladins’ launch. Players will still be able to unlock skin and card art sprays in OB69, and will retain any sprays unlocked in the new global spray equip system!
Sprays are becoming Global equips after OB69

Diminishing returns
“With this release we are overhauling an existing behind the scenes system in Paladins. Up until now there were many different ways that these attributes were treated. Now there will be a single unified system of Diminishing Returns that functions uniformly for all attributes. Our goal is to make this system slightly more accessible while also improving build diversity and clarity.”
The functionality of Diminishing Returns has been normalized across the following attributes:
Movement Speed, Slow, Damage Reduction, Damage Amp, Damage increase, Healing Reduction, Healing increase, Crowd Control Reduction, Knockback Reduction, Cooldown Reduction, and Lifesteal.
Movement Speed now has a maximum increase of 150%.
All other attributes now have a maximum increase of 95%.
Diminishing Returns will never kick in until a player receives at least a 30% change in an attribute.
Players will always receive the full value of their single highest bonus in an attribute, and all other bonuses will diminish on top of that value.
E.G. a player has 4 movement speed bonuses: 30%, 20%, 20%, and 10%. The player is guaranteed to get the full value from the 30% bonus, the other will diminish on top of that 30%. Their total movement speed will be 55.00%.
Attributes that oppose each other will stack their diminished values additively against each other.
Movement Speed opposes slow. Damage Reduction opposes Damage amp. Healing increase opposes healing reduction.
Here is the formula for diminishing returns for movement speed increases:
x = total movement speed bonus
m = highest single movement speed bonus
y = final diminished value
y = m+(1.5-m)*((x-m)/((x-.3)+1.36))
Here is the formula for diminishing returns for all other attributes:
x = total attribute bonus
m = highest single attribute bonus
y = final diminished value
y = m+(.95-m)*((x-m)/((x-.3)+.8))

Cards
Revitalize
Healing reduced from 200/400/600/800 to 100/200/300/400.
“We’re generally happy with the way Talus is being played and he does have a bit of a learning curve as players get used to the versatility and options provided by Rune of Travel. However, at all levels of play he was not dealing an appropriate amount of damage for his role. Furthermore, we felt that Revitalize was too necessary of a card, so we have given him some of that healing as a baseline effect.”

“We’re very happy with the gameplay of Torvald now, but he’s currently an incredibly strong champion at all levels of play. First off, we wanted to make sure that Nullify could be properly countered. Secondly, we made a shift to Recharge to make sure that it was good at filling Torvald’s shields, but it wouldn’t mitigate large chunks of damage by constantly reapplying small shield amounts.”

New in Paladins 0.58 (Sep 11, 2017)

General:
The Preparatory phase of each match will be in third person
Before a match you will notice something different! For the first spawn room phase of a game you will now be able to control and navigate your character in third person!
In the Competitive Queue player will have an additional 15 seconds to pick a character.
Added a new flow for opening Radiant Chests in place of the Enchant Key button when selecting Open Chest.
Muting a player will now also mute their VGS.
Damage and Healing Indicator Improvements
Corner damage VFX will now better correspond to where the player is being hit from.
Added incoming damage indicators around the crosshair.
Added incoming healing feedback with 2 possible locations:
Defaults to the left of the crosshair, can be set to above the player health bar.
Incoming heal numbers will now change color to indicate that the healing was reduced by healing reduction.
Friendly health bars will appear yellow-green when that player is under the effect of healing reduction.
"This patch we’ve put a big focus on improving feedback for both incoming damage and incoming heals. Now players should have the tools they need to better react to the world around them."
Aim Acceleration has been renamed to Turn Acceleration.
"We found that because of the use of the word “aim” some players were initially confused and thought that this setting somehow controlled Aim Assist. We have renamed it to Turn Acceleration which should be much more clear."
GRAPHICAL ENGINE UPDATES:
DirectX 11 Beta:
DirectX 11 is coming to Paladins. Using DirectX 11 will improve both CPU and GPU performance on devices that support DirectX 11 (both integrated and dedicated cards). Additionally, this unifies our rendering codebase between PC and Consoles, allowing any future performance improvements to benefit all our clients.
To participate in the DirectX 11 Beta go to Settings -> Video Options -> Check “Use D3D11 (BETA)” and restart your game.
NOTE: For PTS you will need to modify the “Optional Game Command Line Parameters” in the Launcher to: -dx11
While performance will generally be improved, memory usage may be higher. We will continue to optimize memory before our final release.
If you encounter a graphical issue or client instability, please report any issue you encounter. If you need to switch back simply uncheck “Use D3D11 (BETA)”.
Resolution Scaling
Players will now have the option to adjust their Resolution Scaling.
At values below 100%, the in-game resolution will decrease providing improved performance while the UI will stack at a higher display resolution for legibility.
At values above 100%, you can use additional GPU power to render the in-game resolution higher than your display resolution. This provides improved anti-aliasing (supersampling) which looks especially good in motion and provides more fine-grained detail.
64-Bit Client
We’re beginning tests of our new 64-bit client. We will roll this out to more and more players in the future and will provide specific improvements to the 64-bit client.
To use the 64-Bit client players will need to modify their “Optional Game Command Line Parameters” in the Launcher. To do this, hit the Cog Wheel on your launcher and type “-Use64” in the “Optional Game Command Line Parameters” and hit “Apply”.

New visual update to the Champion’s base model.
"Barik is getting a serious visual update this patch, addressing some art consistency and technical concerns. Our favorite little Master Mechanic got a new look that better reflects his personality and character in a way that ties him in better to our Paladins’ art style and fantasy theming. His trusty Blunderbuss and turrets are also getting a strong visual upgrade with model, animation, vfx, and audio improvements to reflect that wonderful Dwarven engineering. We are also giving Barik’s ultimate turret a unique model that reflects its importance and functionality."

Champions:
General:
Bulldozer:
Cost reduced from 300 to 200.
"Because deployables generally have fairly low health, Bulldozer is actually very effective at what it does. However, 300 credits was still too high a price for the utility when compared to other Damage cards. With this change hopefully we’ll see Bulldozer picked up when a player cares about being able to quickly deal with pesky deployables."
Jenos:
Celestial Touch
Healing reduced from 15% of maximum health to 10% of maximum health.
"Jenos has proven to be a very strong healer with his potential for very high throughput when picking cards to buff his team more often, for longer. However, with Celestial Touch Jenos had strong throughput and strong burst, which is too powerful of a combination."
Lian:
Legendary Cards
Eminence
Now begins scaling at 0ft.
"With the last round of Changes Lian has settled to a good spot, but Eminence is still under performing. Now players will get the effects of the card immediately."
Maeve:
Daggers
Time between daggers reduced from 0.1 to 0.05
Projectile Size increased by 16%
Projectile Speed Increased from 260 to 400
Projectile Gravity Increased by 33%
"Maeve’s burst damage is undeniably powerful and her mobility is in a good spot right now, however the properties of Maeve’s weapon could make using it feel like a chore. With these changes players should be able to be more consistent with their deadly dagger throws."
Ruckus:
Missile Launcher
Projectile speed increased from 300 to 400.
Cooldown reduced from 10s to 8s.
"We feel that Ruckus’s gameplay is in a much better and clearer place now, but Missile Launcher could feel a little underwhelming, especially with the burden of aiming a projectile while aiming an instant-fire weapon. With these changes it will be more accessible and consistent."
Pip:
Weightless
Fixed a description issue that listed the duration of Weightless instead of 3s instead of 2.5s.
"Oops"
Sha Lin:
Withdraw
No longer goes on cooldown until Sha Lin exits stealth.
Legendary Cards
Desert Shadow
Only grants increased damage to shots fired during stealth.
"With Sha Lin getting played more and more, some players would use Desert Shadow to preload an amplified shot then wait for withdraw to come off cooldown to create a one two punch. This change will resolve that unintended behavior."
Strix:
Talon Rifle
Damage reduced from 1300 to 1200.
Flash Bang
Augmented the blind effect to be less jarring.
Flare
Fixed a bug where flare was revealing enemies to Strix’s team, now only reveals enemies to Strix.
Stealth
Increased the initial energy cost of stealth by 65%
Reduced the Stealth energy charge rate by 20%
Increased the Minimum energy level required to enter stealth by 33%
"Strix released strong and made a big impact on the realm. He hits very hard while dying less than other damage champions. With these changes his damage output will be a little lower and he won’t be able to spend as much time in stealth."
Tyra:
Legendary Cards
Hunting Party
Also reduces the cooldown of Hunter’s Mark by 2s.
"Hunting Party proved to be a lot of fun, but it felt like Tyra had to wait around for too long to use Hunter’s Mark again."
Willo:
Dead Zone
Fixed a bug where Dead Zone’s description incorrectly indicated that the ability lasted 4 seconds instead of 5.
Fae Flight
Ultimate charge reduced by 16%.
"Willo had a relatively fast ultimate charge, and when combined with her ability to deal high area damage she could take to the skies multiple times per push phase. Now she’ll have to spend a little more time on the ground."
Zhin:
Counter
Fixed a bug that caused a longer than intended lockout after countering an attack.
"It should feel better now."

Ranked 2.0:
Paladins Competitive has been built up from our BETA ranked test system into a tiered system in which players clash to climb the ranks from Bronze to Grandmaster and earn Ranked-exclusive rewards.
There are 7 Tiers[web2.hirez.com] in Ranked 2.0:
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Master
Grandmaster
Bronze through Diamond each have 5 Divisions within their Tiers. Playing Competitive now earns you Triumph Points (TP). Earning enough TP will promote you from your current division. Master is the highest division that can be reached this way and from there, the 100 players with the most TP are placed into the Grandmaster Division.
Entering Ranked:
Before playing Ranked games a player must be level 15 and own at least 12 characters. There are no mastery level requirements for those characters.
New Players will have to play 15 qualifying games before they are placed within a division. Their placement will be based on performance in their qualifying games.
Partying:
If you are placed in Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum you may now form up to a five-man party to play competitive games but only if all partied members are also in Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
Players in Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster may only duo-queue into Competitive games. Diamond players may duo-queue with players in Platinum, Diamond, Masters, or Grandmaster. Master and Grandmaster players may only duo queue with players in Diamond, Master, or Grandmaster.
Qualifying players may duo-queue with each other or players in Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum to other enter their Qualifiers.
Ranked Progression:
Winning Competitive games now earns you TP. If you reach 100 TP you are promoted to a higher division and your TP is set back to 0. Excess points carry over into your new division. Exceptional performance may allow you to skip forward a few divisions when promoted.
Losing Competitive games will lower your TP. If you lose a Competitive game when at 0 TP you will be demoted to a lower division. You can not be demoted this way until you play at least 5 games within your division. Players are set to 70TP when demoted.
Rewards:
As you play ranked you may receive special rewards exclusive to the ranked season.
Qualify for Ranked to receive a loading frame that displays your highest reached division in the current split.
Qualify for Ranked to receive a Champion Skin Chest Roll.
Play 25 Competitive games to receive a Weapon Chest Roll.

Champions:
General
“This patch we’ve made a pass to improve on underused or underperforming legendary cards. These changes should make these cards more enticing, and we will continue to monitor them in future patches.”
Androxus
Cards
Watchful
Fixed a bug where this card was applying incorrect VFX.
Ash
Legendary Cards
Rally Here
Now also increases ultimate charge rate by 15%.
Barik
Turret
No longer detects stealth.
Legendary Cards
Fortify
Now also reduces the cooldown of Barricade by 3s.
Buck
Legendary Cards
Bulk Up
Now also grants 15% increased damage while Recovery is active.
Cassie
Legendary Cards
Exaction
Damage bonus reduced from 40% to 30%.
“While most of our changes were to underused legendary cards, Exaction was a unique case. Despite Cassie’s other options performing well, Exaction was used the vast majority of the time. This card was clearly over-budget in how much damage it was contributing to Cassie’s kit.”
Jenos
Health reduced from 2600 to 2400.
“Jenos has been performing very well, he’s keeping his teams alive and dealing damage where it counts. However, his greatest strength currently is how hard he is to kill. We like that Jenos is slippery, but we want him to be in a little more danger when he’s been caught.”
Cards
Sidereal
Fixed a bug where this card was applying incorrect VFX.
Lex
Retribution
No longer reveals stealthed targets.
“With the recent buffs to the Discovery legendary, we felt it was too easy for Lex players to completely nullify the effects of stealth. You’ll still be able to track Stealthed characters when they’re on cooldown, ensuring that they don’t have time to rest, but now they have a chance to get the jump on you.”
Legendary Cards
Heroism
Attack speed increased from 25% to 35%.
Lian
Cards
Shining Topaz
Fixed a bug where this card was applying incorrect VFX.
Legendary Cards
Eminence
Now starts dealing bonus damage at 50 ft instead of 100 ft.
Grover
Throwing Axe
Prefire reduced from 0.3s to 0.2s
Postfire reduced from 0.8s to 0.7s
Damage reduced from 400 to 330.
“The Root of the Grover experience is his big axe hits from long range, strong enough to Chop down even Ash or womp Willow out of the Skye. While Elder players were resting on their Laurels, Sapling Grover players were Pining for a Spruced up weapon experience. With this change Grover won’t delay his Axe throws as much, allowing him to be more consistent. Let us know what Yew think!”
Whirlwind
Fixed a bug where Whirlwind could heal deployable shields.
“Grover is weird, but we felt this was a little too strange.”
Makoa
Dredge Anchor
Fixed a bug where Makoa could spin to trap players in the hook for longer than intended. Makoa’s pull will no longer update its endpoint once the target is within 8 ft of Makoa.
“This change is only meant to remove the ability to spin players indefinitely. You will still be able to pull off 180° no scope hooks to throw your opponents off a ledge.”
Cards
Ebb and Flow
Fixed an issue where Makoa’s Ebb and Flow IV didn’t have a proper internal cooldown
Ruckus
Miniguns
Spin up time reduced from 3s to 1s.
Damage reduced from 53 to 48.
“One of the best ways to reduce Ruckus’ damage output was constantly forcing him to spin down, and Ruckus players would often spend all game shooting just so they never had to spin back up. This felt strange and unintuitive, so now Ruckus can spin up his miniguns a little faster.”
Seris
Soul Orb
No longer required to hold firing input for the first orb to shoot out
Sha Lin
Reduced the amount Sha Lin is slowed while drawing his bow from 30% to 10%.
“Sha Lin had started to lag behind other damage characters. With this change, he’s got a little bit more pep in his step.”
Skye
Health increased from 1800 to 2000.
“The range changes to Skye’s weapon helped her be a little more versatile and a little less extreme. As a result it is no longer necessary for her to be such a glass cannon, she’ll now be able to take a little bit more damage before going down.”
Willo
Legendary Cards
Scorched Earth
Now also reduces the cooldown of Dead Zone by 3s.
Ying
Illusory Mirror
Refire time reduced from 0.7s to 0.5s
Time between shots reduced from 0.1s to 0.05s
Ammo Count increased from 6 to 8
Damage per shot reduced from 120 to 90
Updated VFX and Sound to improve weapon experience
“Ying’s weapon was strong when used well but unintuitive for many players. Now with a faster refire and a quicker burst it should feel a little more snappy and consistent.”
Legendary Cards
Focusing Lens
Bonus Damage reduced from 200 to 150
“Because Ying is now firing faster and more consistently, the values of Focusing Lens had to be reduced. We still expect this card to be stronger than it was in previous patches.”

Environment Art
“We are bringing a whole new art set and visual look to the Realm with our latest siege map, Splitstone Quarry. Set deep in a large scale gold mining operation it was an opportunity to explore a more industrial setting. It also allowed us to showcase an area that ties heavily into the backstories of a couple of our champions and introduce new types of environmental hazards.”
Level Design
"Splitstone Quarry's capture point is cut into the deepest section of the quarry and forces players to defend from above while contesting the objective. While there are quick side routes, flankers will have to watch out for dangerous environmental hazards. The payload must be pushed through a corridor that emphasizes long range firefights.”

CHAMPIONS:
General:
All champions are now immune to damage when in a base healing volume.
Ultimates are no longer usable in a base healing volume.
All Emotes will now lock players out of all actions, including movement for 2s. Emotes may be interrupted at any time after the 2s lockout.
“We think it’s really cool that players can emote to enter 3rd person with free rotation whenever they want, however, emoting had too many gameplay advantages without any risk. Players could use emotes to look around corners with very little risk. Now, emoting will be a little more risky, but there will be no benefit to using shorter emotes.”

ECONOMY AND PROGRESSION:
“At present, cards are too difficult to unlock. It’s always been our goal to offer meaningful character progression as you play Paladins, but as we have been listening to feedback and monitoring our data, it is clear that the time necessary to acquire cards is too long.
This Patch we will be addressing this issue from a few different angles. Players will be earning chests at an accelerated rate along with lower crafting costs (without a reduction in duplicate values), New avenues to earn essence, and a 60% increase in weekly quest gold rewards. Having a healthy economy is a balancing act and gold costs of cosmetic items and Champions will be increasing.”
Radiant Chest Cosmetic Drop Rates:
Increased the Drop Rates of Cosmetics in Radiant Chests by 33%
The experience required per player level between levels 1 and 50 has been Reduced.
Previously experience requirements would cap out 1 million experience per level at level 30, now that cap is met at level 50.
As a result, almost all players will see their level increase and levels between 1 and 50 will require on average 35% less experience.

Bug fixes:
Fixed an issue on Frozen Guard where players could see clip and see through certain collisions.
CHAMPIONS:
“This patch, we have focused efforts around our Legendary Cards. We have a healthy variety of choices, but we believe some legendary cards are too strong when compared to the other available options. Additionally, many players have expressed that our hyper-movement based Legendaries are frustrating and not fun to play against. We highly value the experience of our players playing our characters AND playing against our characters. We believe strong and rewarding legendary options are important, and that we can introduce these cards without creating the frustration associated with the hypermobility Legendaries.
We are also taking this opportunity to make changes and improvement to some of our least used Legendary cards. Some will receive buffs, others will be entirely reworked. The legendary system is at it best when all 3 choices are genuine options, and some characters are in a good place! These changes are an attempt to move more characters in that direction, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on legendary usage throughout future patches.”

Onslaught Mode: Reduced ticket gain for holding the point by 50%
“Onslaught has proven to be a great addition to our selection of game modes. We are reducing the capture area’s influence on scoring in order to prioritize kills as the primary factor in a team's success. The mode is intended to be fast paced and fun, but currently stacking the point with multiple tanks and healers is too effective. We will continue to polish and improve this mode in future patches.”

New map: Sierra
Bugs
(Frozen Guard) Fix bug where players can hit an invisible wall near capture point.
(Snowfall Junction) Players were hitting props that affect mobility. We simplified collision around capture point and near spawn rooms.
CHAMPIONS:
“Many of the Champion changes this patch are targeted at improving the shooting experience and weapon feel of our characters. In some cases this means modifying projectile speed, in others, it’s tweaking the way the screen FOV animates when the weapon is fired. We also extended the range of some Champions who we felt were too limited to close combat encounters. We will continue to monitor the balance implications of these changes and review further shooting experience improvements in the future.”

The Distribution of his Shielding and Health Values also contributed to this polarized experience. For example without the appropriate items Torvald is a juggernaut but once his opponents acquire the necessary items he becomes far too ineffective. These changes will allow him to rely on a larger health pool while also reducing the necessity of items to fight him effectively.”

We want to preserve legendaries as powerful and valuable assets to the game and keep them as something that encourages players to play a variety of champions”
Banner now pops up after an Item has been Auto Purchased from the Item Shop
Added option to turn off Auto Purchase directly from Item Shop
Increased volume of purchasable announcer packs
Added an additional 10s to Customizing your Champion in Match Lobby
Improvements made to Bomb King Announcer Pack
“With the release of the Bomb King announcer pack we got feedback that Bomb King didn’t sound like himself. We had altered the process on his voice to be more clear and distinguished to assume the announcer role, but we realize that this move may have jeopardized qualities of his voice that people recognized. We have taken another pass at his voice to bring it more in line with the standard Bomb King Voicepack.”

CHAMPIONS:
Androxus
Legendary
Dark Stalker
Increased the recharge rate of dashes by 1s
“Dark Stalker is a lot of fun, because of the increased mobility and versatility, but Androxus always felt like he had one more dash. With this change he’ll have to be a little more careful.”
Drogoz
Legendary
Fusillade
Reduced direct shot bonus damage from 50% to 35%
“Fusillade was always meant to be about awesome damage if you can land the shot. With the recent networking improvements made to Drogoz, this damage became a little too consistent.”
Booster
Reduced recharge rate by 17%.
“One of Drogoz’s key strengths is his ability to stay in the air, this change allows him to stay airborne for just as long, but when he does hit the ground he’ll have to wait a bit longer to take flight.”
Inara
Legendary Cards
Mother’s Grace
No longer grants Debuff Immunity.
Now grants CC Immunity.
“We’re happy with the boost Inara got last patch, but Debuff immunity was confusing and had some strange consequences. Moving to CC Immunity should be more clear without sacrificing much effectiveness.”
Earthen Guard
Now increases healing taken by 60%.
“In losing Debuff immunity, Earthen Guard will no longer remove Cauterize. However, this change will allow Inara to get more healing even while under the effects of Cauterize, but also ensure that Cauterize is still useful against her. The two effects will stack additively against each other.”
Stone Spear
Firing Stone Spear will now apply a 40% movement speed slow to Inara while firing.
“Inara was dealing a lot of damage, but we want to make sure that she isn’t chasing people down.”
Grohk
Champion Price reduced from 200 Crystals 5000 Gold to 150 Crystals 4000 Gold
“ As we grow our champion pool we will continue to discount some champions over time while new champions will retain their release price for longer.”
Kinessa
Legendary
Steady Aim
Increased time interval between empowered shots from 5 to 7s
“Steady Aim is about taking your time to land those big shots, this should make that feel a little more natural.”
Seris
Convergence
Reduce the charge rate from dealing damage by 15%
“We felt that Seris was able to charge her ultimate a little too easy through dealing damage, especially when following up after using Convergence. This does not affect her charge rate via healing..”
Willo
General
Increased health from 2000 to 2200
Legendary
Blastflower
Increased the bonus damage per hit from 50 to 100.
Now only stacks up to 3 times.
“While Willo is not meant to be a duelist, she felt a little too vulnerable in a 1v1. These two change should help her in that situation, especially now that Blastflower gives her more damage sooner..”
Scorn
Reduced fuse time by 25%
“With this change to Scorn, players opting into a Seedling-focused build should be able to be a little more consistent with their primary ability.”
Fae Flight
Weapon shots fired while in Fae Flight no longer consume ammo
“Activating Fae Flight without reloading first could waste valuable time, now you won’t have to worry as you can fire your weapon freely during your ultimate.”

Barricade
The cooldown on Barricade will now start when it is destroyed or despawns

Shotgun
Increased Shotgun damage from 550 to 570
“ As a flank buck was packing less of punch than some of his peers, obviously he has some other attributes to make up for this (larger Health pool, Healing, etc) but we feel he should bring a little more damage to the table. ”

Maeve
Increased maximum health to 1900 from 1800
“In terms of survivability Maeve could stand to be a little tougher. Without the defensive attributes that other flanks benefit from (Damage immunity / Damage absorption and reflection / Stealth / Large health pool) she’s been falling short (Figuratively, no disrespect to her stature)”

Fixed Kinessa poking her finger through her helmet when using her Default Emote with Nova Strike Helmet.
Teleporter
Fixed an issue where Kinessa could get stuck on Ice Mines when using Teleporter
Steady Aim
Will no longer activate when hitting Deployables or Shields.
Cards
Headstrong
Increased slow limit from 40/50/60/70% to 50/60/70/80% of base movement speed.
Lex
Death Hastens
Will no longer activate when hitting Deployables or Shields.
Magnums
Reduced Damage from 700 to 680
Slightly Increased Damage fall off
“Combinations of damage modifiers such as Death Hastens + Headshot damage was giving Lex a slightly higher amount of burst than is fair, this coupled with his lenient damage fall off gave him the edge in too many match ups”
Cards
Fortitude
Now only heals when In Pursuit hits a target.
Reworded to “Every shot hit with In Pursuit heals you for 25/50/75/100 Health.”
“We like how players are using Fortitude to give themselves some self healing in combat, but using In Pursuit to heal while shooting at a wall didn’t fit with the spirit of Lex’s character.”
Juke Boots
Increased slow limit from 40/50/60/70% to 50/60/70/80% of base movement speed.
Maeve
Cards
Persistence
Increased slow limit from 40/50/60/70% to 50/60/70/80% of base movement speed.
Makoa

Makoa must now finish the casting time of Ancient Rage before gaining the increased health.
Ruckus
Minigun
Expanded weapon description to communicate effective weapon range

Skye

Expanded weapon description to communicate effective weapon range
Time Bomb
Time Bomb is now thrown
The fuse starts once the bomb has landed
Hidden
Duration increased by 4s
Cards
Cloak
Hidden duration reduced from 2/4/6/8s to 1/2/3/4s.
“We liked the way Hidden feels with a fully ranked up Cloak but Hidden seemed far too weak when not using Cloak at all. To compensate, we’ve increased the base duration of the ability, but reduced the value per rank of the card.”
Sha Lin
Planted
Increased the time it takes planted to start firing from 0.4 to 0.6s
“Sha Lin’s Planted ability is one of his biggest assets, but we feel like there were too many situations where Impaler Arrow’s stun was guaranteeing multiple hits from planted. Slowing down the startup on this ability will give Sha Lin’s victims a better chance at dodging that third shot.”
Tyra
Auto Rifle
Expanded weapon description to communicate effective weapon range
Viktor
Assault Rifle
Reduced recoil
Expanded weapon description to communicate effective weapon range
Ying
Illusory Mirror
Expanded weapon description to communicate effective weapon range

CHAMPIONS - BALANCE/UPDATES/FIXES:
Items
Blast Shields
“Blast Shields and Haven provided too much of an easy option against many champions in the game, and with the removal of Aggression doesn’t provide the level of counter-play that we would like. Bringing down the values of both means the Defense tier can lend itself more to Resilience or Illuminate.”
Reduced damage reduction from 10/20/30 to 7/14/21%.

Nimble

Life Rip
Lifesteal now correctly works off of exact damage dealt to the target. This excludes damage dealt to personal shields and damage that has been mitigated by Damage Reduction.

Drogoz
General
Improved Drogoz's W.Y.R.M. Jets card performance with high ping.
Salvo
“Salvo has been an under used part of Drogoz’ kit, and we wanted to bring it back into a strong viability. The danger we wanted to avoid was allowing it to deal full damage where it could become an opportunity to burst a target at full Health when it is available. Instead, we are increasing the usability and greatly increasing the size of the explosions to turn it into a strong option against large groups of enemies.”
Increased explosion radius per rocket by 70%.
Reduced the time between Rockets from 0.2s to 0.15s
Increased the accuracy from 90% to 95%

Planted
Fixed an issue where Sha Lin's animations would get stuck in the planted state during killcam and spectate.
Skye

Fixed a bug where activating Hidden would remove the speed boost from Victory Rush. The stronger value will now be used.
Tyra
Trail Blazer
Fixed a bug where this card’s description had values of 50/60/70/80% instead of 50/40/30/20%.

Merry Maker Evie
MAPS:
Ice Mines:
Ice Mines has had a visual theming pass.
CHAMPIONS - BALANCE/UPDATES/FIXES:
General:
Addressed a bug where knockbacks would have different behavior based on the position of the source.
Buck:
“Buck excels as a Flanker, but boasts a large amount of control for how mobile he is. We want to reward players who consistently land Net Shots, and Heroic Leap’s slow allowed Buck to extend the slow duration longer than it should last.”
Heroic Leap
No longer slows enemies upon landing.
Evie:
Ice Block
Ice block is now able to be themed for skins.
Cards
“Wormhole provided Evie too much breathing room around using her Blink, and was too valuable at ranks 1 and 2. Reducing the scale down means players now need to place more points into Wormhole to get similar value out of it.”
Wormhole
Reduced duration allowing the return blink from 2/4/6/8 to 1/2/3/4s.
Drogoz:
“Through card combinations and precise timing Drogoz players were able to exceed booster’s maximum speed for long durations of time allowing for an unintended amount of mobility. With the new booster behaviour he can still momentarily hit high speeds but will not be able to maintain them.”
Booster
Implemented a gradual speed reduction to booster when surpassing the maximum intended speed.
Booster is now disabled for 1 second after being knocked back
Fernando:
“Fernando is a formidable Front Line to deal with and can bring incredible point control to his team. However, we feel Fernando excels a bit too much at chasing enemies. We are reducing his base Movement Speed and Health to ensure risky positioning stays risky as it gave him a lot of forgiveness if he chased too far. The Cooldown recovery mechanic was short enough along with his ability to chase where it allowed Fernando to play more of a Flank role.”
General
Reduced Health from 5700 to 5500.
Reduced Movement Speed from 365 to 360.
Shield
Increased the minimum Cooldown when cancelling Shield early based on amount of Health remaining from 7 to 9s.
Kinessa:
Transporter
Reduced Cooldown from 12 to 10s.
Makoa:
“Makoa excels at isolating targets and provides a strong contrast to the other Front Line champions in that way. He falls a bit behind champions like Fernando or Barik in point control, but we want to highlight his uniqueness by increasing the amount of damage he can deal.”
Ancient Rage
Increased damage from 600 to 650.
Cannon
Increased damage from 600 to 650.
Mal’Damba:
“While Mal’Damba has a strong list of healing and control options for his team, his survivability is lower than other Support champions. We are increasing his base Health to allow him to take a few extra hits and stay in the fight.”
General
Increased Health from 2500 to 2650.
Sha Lin
Cards
Grounded
Fixed an issue where this card was healing for 13% less than intended at all ranks.
Ying:
Cards
“Carry On held too much value at low ranks, giving a significant increase in healing output without encouraging the player to put a lot of points into it in their loadout.”
Carry On
Reduced the amount of duration increase from 3/6/9/12 to 1/2/3/4s.
SPECTATOR:
The Spectator UI has had a presentation update with new features.

New in Paladins 0.38 (Nov 22, 2016)

CHAMPIONS - BALANCE/UPDATES/FIXES:
General
Fixed an issue with knockbacks that affected enemies having an extra impulse.
Added tracers on instant fire weapons
Androxus
Reversal
Added projectile trail.
Barik
“Barik has been over performing in many ways, and is too self sufficient with the right card combination. We are bringing down Healing Station to fit more of an in-combat persistent heal, pushing Barik to lean more on his Support for stronger healing. Reducing his Health and increasing Rocket Boots’ Cooldown makes him a bit less slippery when he is correctly caught out.”
General
Reduced Health from 3000 to 2900.
Blunderbuss
Bonus damage on targets hit by your Turrets reduced from 15 to 10% per Turret.
Rocket Boots
Increased Cooldown from 12 to 14s.
Cards
Healing Station
Reduced from 60/120/180/240 to 45/90/135/180 per second.
Bomb King
[BUG FIX] Jolt & Accelerant are applying increase incorrectly
Cassie
Blast shot is now more responsive with high ping. (lag compensated)
Grohk
“Grohk’s Healing Totem was a bit too vulnerable to collateral damage, so we’ve increased its Health to help it survive a bit longer.”
Healing Totem
Increased the Health of Healing Totem from 400 to 900.
Grover
“Grover’s damage output was below what we would expect for him. Raising his base damage up both improves his damage output and helps him deal with shields.”
Throwing Axe
Increased base damage from 300 to 350.
Throwing Axe combo damage over distance has been adjusted to match the new base.
Makoa
Improve Makoa’s cannon muzzle flash has particles that distract from the traveling projectile.
Makoa’s cannon projectile impact reads as an explosion, and is difficult to read from distance.
Mal’ Damba
Fixed Mending Spirits VFX not showing when using an alternate weapon skin.
Pip

Oasis
Fixed an issue where this card was not working at times.
Quick Sand
Fixed an issue where this card was not working at times.
Run Like the Wind
Fixed an issue where this card was not working at times.
Viktor
“Viktor is filling the role we expect for him, but is effective at too far of a range. Bringing in the range at which his damage starts to fall off and adding a slight additional recoil to his Iron Sights by default means he will be less effective fighting from a sniper’s range.”
Assault Rifle
Weapon falloff damage now starts at 90ft instead of 135ft.
Updated firing sound.
Iron Sights
Increased vertical recoil when firing during Iron Sights.
Ying
Fixed low particle settings not showing the projectile beam

New in Paladins 0.34 Beta (Sep 29, 2016)

New Game Mode: Payload:
New Game Mode: Payload
Payload is an Attack / Defend style game mode with two rounds. The team on Attack will attempt to push a Payload cart from their base to the enemy base within the time limit. When round one is complete, both teams swap sides (I.E. a team on Defense will play on Attack for the next round) and the match is played again. The team that got the Payload cart furthest will win the match. If both teams push the Payload cart all the way, then the team that pushed it to the end point in less time will win the match. In Round 2, the Payload cart location will be displayed on the HUD and a marker will be placed in the world to show how far the cart must be pushed to win.
In this patch, Payload will be playable on these three maps:
Outpost
Hidden Temple
Frostbite Caverns
