2.3 - Future's End | March 27th, 2019

Champion #41: Atlas, The Man out of Time

There is no light in the future, only an all-consuming Darkness. The Realm is lost.

Atlas was born into this dark future as the son of a legendary Judge. Each day he fought to survive, and each night he found solace in stories of the Realm that was. These stories gave Realmkind hope, but their final stand against the Darkness failed tragically. All hope was lost… but one.

Atlas studied old books of Crystal magic and mastered the control of time. He researched old tales of what started all this, of how the world had fallen. And then Atlas stepped into the past, determined to save the Realm — and stop the Darkness — by changing the course of history.

The Hunt

General

Pre-game match lobby has been rewritten:

The match lobby code was written early in the Paladins development life cycle when the game was constantly changing. As the requirements for it changed and new features were added, it started accumulating a number of issues. Now that Paladins has stabilized, combined with our new focus, we decided it was a good time to address this part of the game as a whole.
This ground-up rewrite allowed us to fix many long-standing bugs: Inability to select characters, UI animations freezing, players being pushed to the custom game screen, Champions not being displayed as owned after buying them, bots not displaying correctly, and etcetera. It also allows us to more easily integrate new match lobby features in the future.
Part of this rewrite also allowed cleaning up the match lobby flow. Now, whether playing with mouse or gamepad, Ranked or quick play, the flow is consistent. When selecting a character, it stays in the character select screen so you can quickly change your mind based on what your team selects. Once you’re happy with your selection, you can click the “Lock In” button, which now exists in Quick Play, and select your skin. If all players lock in early, any remaining selection time will be skipped and the match will start early.
Additionally, when banning, you can select what character you intend to ban before actually locking in the ban. This gives other players on your team the ability to give feedback before locking in.
With the magnitude of this rewrite, it is impossible to say exactly how many small or rare bugs this has fixed, but it’s safe to say that number should be significant. This also means that new issues could arise, but should be much quicker to fix. So please share any feedback and bug reports during the PTS cycle!
  • Added an indicator for the quantity of a chest players have in their inventory (“X Chests Remaining”).
  • Added support for chat with the gamepad in the main menu (i.e. not in game)

Audio

  • Fixed an issue where riding on a vehicle mount as either Vivian or Viktor would cause Viktor’s gun loop to play until an internal limit was reached or Viktor/Vivian died.
  • Fixed an issue where Imani’s Inferno Cannon start and sustain sounds were too quiet, while the ending sound played at their intended volume instead.
  • Fixed an issue where enemies could not hear Koga switch into claw stance.
  • Fixed an issue where a distinct ringing sound from Koga’s claw attacks would not play for his enemies.
  • Increased the volume of Koga’s claw attacks.
  • Increased the volume of Evie’s weapon fire, projectile sound, and projectile impact.
  • Added icy sounds to Evie’s weapon fire and impact to better communicate to her enemies where she is firing from in the middle of frantic team fights.
  • Fixed an issue where charging Omega Sha Lin’s basic attack was treated by audio as sniper rifle fire. Omega Sha Lin should no longer give his position away to enemies by charging an arrow, but he will sound the same to the player playing as Sha Lin.
  • Fixed an issue where Heartbreaker Tyra’s ultimate voice line did not get the loud reverb treatment that other ultimates get.
  • Added audio queues to Imani’s Mana Rift.
  • Fixed an issue where Bomb King’s bomb idle chatter/beeps were being played for enemies who were too far away from the relevant bombs.
  • Fixed an issue where default Imani’s Pyreball sound effect did not accurately reflect the time it takes to charge her Pyreball.
  • Changed attenuation on Imani’s frost bomb to address concerns that it was too hearable while far away, and players could not hear the volume increase as it approached them.

Balance

Champion Dredge Icon Dredge


Developer Commentary: Dredge has been a hot community topic, and we wanted to adjust his playstyle in a healthy manner. While the old Heave Away and Scuttle combination was not overly powerful, it was too effective for its ease of use and was a source of high frustration. This change to Heave Away aims to reduce the effectiveness of the “scuttle spam” playstyle.

  • Abilities
    • Ability Shortcut Shortcut
      • Allies can no longer use Dredge’s shortcut
  • Cards
    • Heave Away
      • This change was suggested by Assembly of Champions NEW: Broadside hits reduce the cooldown of Harpoon by {0.2|0.2}s

Champion Fernando Icon Fernando


Developer Commentary: We are bringing back the old Hot Pursuit at a slightly lower movement speed, longer duration, and with an internal cooldown. We encourage unique playstyles for our Champions, but the old Hot Pursuit allowed over 60% uptime on a 50% movement speed buff. The frequency of this effect combined with Fernando’s natural tankiness caused a number of imbalances, as Fernando was able to effectively chase down and 1v1 almost any hampion. The introduction of an internal cooldown will reduce the uptime of the effect while still allowing players to have controlled bursts of speed.

  • Cards
    • Hot Pursuit
      • This change was suggested by Assembly of Champions Hitting an enemy with Fireball grants {8|8}% movement speed for 3s. 10s Internal Cooldown.

Champion Grover Icon Grover


Developer Commentary: Grover’s Season 2 changes have solidified him as a powerful Support at all levels of play, but he is currently overperforming (aka Grover #1 OP Champion). Rampant Blooming provided too much extra healing for just a Talent and has been brought down to put Grover more in line with other supports.

  • Talents
    • Rampant Blooming
      • Healing allies with Blossom will heal them for an additional 160 ➞ 150 Health per second for 4s ➞ 3s
  • Cards
    • Chopper
      • Hitting an enemy with Crippling Throw heals you for {50|50} ➞ {100|100}
    • Gentle Breeze
      • Allies gain {8|8}% ➞ {5|5}% Movement Speed for 4s after being healed by Blossom

Champion Jenos Icon Jenos


Developer Commentary: Jenos is currently struggling to compete with other Supports at all levels of play. He has a versatile kit that provides guaranteed lockdown, a lethal Ultimate, and a heal that is applied through walls, but his raw healing values fall about 30% short from top of the pack. With the versatility that Jenos’ kit provides, we do not want him to directly compete with more healing focused supports, but we do believe his healing values are too low in comparison.

  • Abilities
    • Ability Astral Mark Astral Mark
      • Now Heals a flat 300 health instead of 5% on initial application

Champion Koga Icon Koga


Developer Commentary: Following the Fire and Ice adjustments, Koga’s claws have become a very lethal and easy-to-use tool without significant cost, especially when running Dragon Fangs. We still want the claw stance to feel deadly but vulnerable, so we’ve reverted the heal drain cost to Dragon Fangs and decreased their projectile size–making their window of use and effective range smaller. His SMGs, on the other hand, have become much harder to use with the smaller ammo clip nearly requiring you hit every shot to kill an enemy, so we’ve reverted them to their original clip.

  • Abilities
    • WeaponAttack Koga Icon Sub Machine Guns
      • Reverted Submachine Clip Size decrease 60 ➞ 70
    • WeaponAttack Koga Icon 2 Hellkite Claws
      • Reduced Projectile Size
  • Talents
    • Dragon Fangs
      • 150 ➞ 200 Health per second

Champion Makoa Icon Makoa


Developer Commentary: The permanent health buff provided by Leviathan allows Makoa to reach upwards 2,000 more health than other Frontlines. This extra trankiness has allowed Makoa to shine as one of the most dominant Frontlines in Paladins for quite some time. We are reducing the health total to bring him more in line with the others in his role.

  • Talents
    • Leviathan
      • This change was suggested by Assembly of Champions Reduced health bonus 1200 ➞ 600

Champion Moji Icon This change was suggested by Assembly of Champions Moji


Developer Commentary: We have made these new adjustments in hopes of creating a more engaging play experience. Players will be rewarded more for detonating their Magic Marks at maximum stacks and will find it harder to win engagements if you are not detonating your Marks properly. Recently we discussed moving Moji to the Support role, but will not be doing so in the foreseeable future as we are allocating our resources towards the Hunt.

  • Abilities
    • WeaponAttack Moji Icon Familiar Spit
      • This ability now fires faster
      • Damage Reduced from 250 ➞ 100
      • Detonated Magic Marks will only deal bonus damage at 8/9/10 stacks
      • Detonated Magic Marks will deal increased damage 775 ➞ 1000 at max stacks
    • Ability Familiar Spray Familiar Spray
      • Fires 20% Faster 0.1 ➞ 0.08
