Valve's notes ↗General
- New stat added: Ultimate Cooldown Reduction, granted by Diviner's Kevlar (+10%)
- Respawn time at 20 minutes increased from 35s to 38s (max values later on are unaffected)
- Getting stunned now pauses your reload rather than restarting it
- Dashes and light melees no longer pause your gun's cycle time (affects high cycle time weapons the most)
Unstable Rift- Comeback resist max values now scale over the course of the game: previously a flat 35%, now 10% + 1% per minute (~20% for the first one), capped at 40% at 30 minutes
- Removed the fixed amount of extra bonus souls given for being even slightly behind in net worth, for both hero kill bounties and Unstable Rift bounties (larger impact on early to mid game)
Souls- Comeback bounties slightly reduced in general
- A portion (70%) of comeback souls earned by players above the enemy team's average net worth is instead distributed via the tick gold system to the lowest 2 players
- Objective bounty share for nearby heroes reduced from 30% to 25% (remainder is split between all 6 players)
