Today's update marks the first new Hero for Paragon, Sevarog. He's a tank who thrives in the jungle. Sevarog uses his giant hammer, eats souls (minions or enemy Heroes), and grows in size. By eating souls, he stacks health and gains damage boosts, which make him grow and become super deadly in late game.
All our heroes are always free, so you can jump in and play as him right now if you're a part of Early Access.
Fighter Balance Pass
Hero balance is going to be a constant process for the team as we add Heroes and the game evolves. With that, we've made a Fighter balance pass that affects Grux and Feng Mao.
The win rates for Grux and Feng Mao have been higher than other Heroes, so we took a couple of actions to help even things out. We have decreased their damage scaling in the late game. To offset that, we've increased their early-game damage a bit to help keep them more relevant throughout the match.
We think this will help bring them back to the pack a bit.
In the next few updates we'll be looking at movement speed and travel mode tweaks, along with balance passes on other roles.
That's the simple explanation, but you can read more about the balance changes and the rest of the release notes below. See you back in the fight!
