Champions

BUFFEDHwei
Base armor increased.
As players are still learning Hwei, we’re giving him a small bump up in power, primarily for the sake of Hwei’s teammates, who are on the receiving end of a fairly low win rate. Long term, we think Hwei is probably in a very good spot or maybe a little too powerful but we’re tuning him for January, not June. We’ll continue to monitor his performance and make adjustments as needed.
BUFFEDVel'Koz
E quality of life adjustments.
Following up on some work from the last patch, we have a few additional quality of life buffs for Vel’Koz’s Tectonic Disruption.
