1.8.78MLBB Patch Notes: Buffs, Nerfs & Balance Changes

Chip's mechanics are unique, and the difficulty of mastering him exceeded our expectations. Some of his skills also lacked a satisfying experience. As a result, we have optimized the following aspects to help Chip players have a better experience when playing solo. Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment

We're happy to see Masha getting more usage after the previous adjustments. We've also found that she's too weak in the early and mid game. Masha is forced to play defensively against most other heroes on the EXP lane until level 4, and then relies on hero kills to grow enough to take down the enemy's squishy heroes in the late game. To remedy this, we want to try to increase her laning potential for a more streamlined early and mid game, while slightly nerfing her late game burst potential.

Significantly improved the smoothness of his skill combos, while slighty reducing his damage for balance.

Ling is weak in the early and mid game and can't get instant kills in the late game, so we adjusted the damage ratio of his skills and his Basic Attack, which hopefully will help him deal more damage in the early game but reduce his sustained damage in the late game. Now, Ling needs offensive and Crit equipment more, and given his Attack Speed is less rewarding, so we have reset his recommended builds. Also reduced the Energy Cost of some skills to match the purple Buff adjustment

We want to speed up Julian's jungling and combat before Lv.3, while allowing him to be more flexible with his Basic Attacks between skills and reducing the damage of his enhanced Basic Attacks in the late game

We removed the Ultimate's Energy cost to match the purple Buff adjustments. We also improved Hayabusa's skill combo experience and his Jungling speed in the early game; now his Energy no longer limits the casting of his Ultimate, and he can also cast Retribution during his Ultimate to deal enough damage or attack the Lord or Turtle.

Currently, the distance that Skill 2 moves is a bit too far, which makes it difficult and awkward to follow up with an enhanced Basic Attack. So we want to improve that and make it more fluent. We're going to reduce the distance travelled with Skill 2 while balancing this nerf with other changes

Lolita's passive shield took too long to stack and was not very useful in fast-paced battles. We improved the passive effects to match her other skills. Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment.

Jawhead is currently active in Exp Lane, Jungle, and Roaming, and his passive only benefits himself. Considering that Jawhead's Basic Attack is a large part of his overall damage, we want to improve Jawhead's ability to help the team without affecting his overall damage.

Gloo has been on the bench for quite some time. While he shines in the early and mid game, Gloo struggles to deal with back line enemies in the late game (generally, Gloo has to pull their carry back to his allies to have a chance). So we want to increase Gloo's ability to kill enemies solo and survive in the team fights. Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment.

Without Blink skills, Miya needs a greater range

Without Blink skills, Layla needs smoother skills to improve her kiting.

Reduced the Mana Cost of some skills and simplified the cooldown mechanism of Natan's Ultimate.

Karrie has been on a hot streak. We want to nerf her mobility to make her less competitive.

Minotaur needs to cool down a bit after his recent overpowering performance. Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment

When Mathilda casts her Ultimate and flies around enemy heroes, she can retreat or attack at any time, making it difficult for enemies to counter. We want to keep her offensive ability while making her harder to use.

Joy can cast her Ultimate after getting enough Beat Energy, and the control immunity makes it difficult for enemy heroes to counter it. We want to remove the control immunity, making Joy players to be more cautious when entering a fight. Her Ultimate damage will also be increased for balance

We want to speed up Yve's lane clearing in the early and mid game and make Skill 1 easier to use to give her an edge in the current patch.

We want to improve her lane clearing abilities to give her an advantage in the Mid Lane.
