Minor Patch – 0.29.1 (Apr 6th, 2021)

Hello my lovely Lumia locals. Aesop here with a piping hot dish of Patch Notes.

As usual, it’s a minor patch to help settle all the big changes we made last week.

The servers will go down to apply the 0.29.1 update for 3 hours, give or take, starting 7PM PDT tomorrow.

System

  • Kills bonus in Solo mode
    • [20 + (Character level X 2)]% → (10 + character level X 2)%

  • We have reduced the LP bonus and penalties by 30% based on MMR difference between the player and whoever has killed them.
  • Dodge penalty duration reduced 24h → 12h

Character

Due to the recent overhaul of the restricted area system, we’ve made some changes to some characters to compensate.

Nadine

  • Monkey Wire (E) Cast time 0.2s → 0.16s
