1.8.20MLBB Patch Notes: Buffs, Nerfs & Balance Changes

A scholar who traversed the multiverse and can cut through dimensions. The hero will be launched on 9/30/2023 (Server Time).

A guardian elf that controls enemies and protects allies. For Lolita's revamp, we're optimizing the use and experience of all her skills, but considering her overpowered performance in top-level Ranked matches and pro matches, we're nerfing her damage and durability to balance things out. In terms of Lolita's look, we're giving her a new model and portrait. May the Noumenon Core be with you!

We're improving Mathilda's control and ease of use in hopes that the new Ultimate will make her more competitive in battle.

Slightly reduced the Ultimate's range. Floryn is too powerful in Ranked with the new Emblem Talents and Lifesteal update. So we're nerfing Floryn's healing ability, but giving her the ability to increase teammates' damage with the equipment she provides. We're also giving her simpler skill mechanics and casting experience.

We want to emphasize Rafaela's Movement Speed boost for teammates and make it easier for her Ultimate to land hits. We're also working on adjusting her Passive, so stay tuned!

Adjusted the Magic Power bonus of his skills as part of the healing and shield skill adjustment plan. Enhanced the durability with Magic Power equipment.

Adjusted the Magic Power bonus of her skills as part of the healing and shield skill adjustment plan.

Yu Zhong is a bit weak against popular Exp laners, so we're optimizing his combo damage and skill cooldown to make him more competitive against those heroes in battle.

We're hoping he gets more time in battles.

Slightly reduced Julian's skill cooldown.

Benedetta's slashes are more powerful now.

The last adjustment has nerfed Aamon's Ultimate too much, so we are reverting part of the adjustment.

We decided to make Johnson's Ultimate more interactive.

Slightly increased Akai's sustainability.

Reduced mana cost to increase his sustainability without any Creep buff.

Slightly enhanced the effects of his Skill 1.

Minotaur should also be able to benefit from the new equipment.

The buffs we added to Lylia in the last patch didn't meet our expectations. We were able to simplify her Ultimate, but we also took away her 10X Shadow Energy combo burst. So, we are adding back her Shadow Energy combo back in a different way to give the pro Lylia players more possibilities.

Luo Yi has learned new combat techniques from other Mages.

Slightly buffed Cyclops' early lane-clearing speed and mobility.

Ixia's Ultimate is now more powerful and safer to cast. Also, her Basic Attack is easier to use.

We're hoping Popol and Kupa can jungle faster and be more powerful in the late game.

As the meta evolves, we decided to revert some of the nerf on Melissa to make her more compatible.

It is very difficult to counter a Marksman hero with unlimited dashes and control removal. In the past, we have tried different approaches to balance this between pro matches and top-level Ranked matches but none of them worked as intended. This time, we decided to adjust Wanwan's skill 2, which will require Wanwan players to be more careful about when to use this skill. However, we have also increased Wanwan's damage and mobility in the hopes that she will perform differently depending on the skill of the player.

Slightly reduced Submachine Gun's late-game damage; increased Shotgun's early-game damage.

Optimized the animation of Miya's Skill 2. It now has a longer range but a slightly longer delay.

Bruno is too powerful with the revamped Crit equipment. We're slightly reducing his early and mid-game damage.

We made Claude less dependent on equipment and reduced his damage in the mid and late game.

We nerfed Lesley's Passive to make her less powerful in fights.

Slightly reduced Fanny's Base Damage to optimize her performance in mid and high-rank plays.

Slightly reduced his mobility.

Reduced her burst damage in early game.

Valentina is far more versatile than the other Mages, so we decided to slightly reduce her damage.

Slightly nerfed Yve's lane-clearing ability.
