Reporting System 1.0: Power League

• You can now report players at the end of a Power League for griefplay*
  

• We are starting the first version of our reporting system with a very straightforward implementation to capture griefplay during Power League matches, which will help us to prepare for a wider rollout of the feature across other game modes, especially to identify the amount of reporting in general and the number of repeat-reports for individual players
  

• We will start to action offenders with in-game bans following the rollout of this update and keep improving the system in future updates
  

• WE WILL BE WATCHING YOU
  

*What is Griefplay?

"Griefplay refers to play styles where a player intentionally disrupts the gaming experience of other players."

Map Environment Changes

Added:

• Retropolis
  

Balance changes

Buffs

Meg

• Base HP 2200 → 2300
  

  
  

  Meg still hasn't found a foothold, even after the latest buffs. Allowing her to play a bit riskier in her small form should allow her to also get to her mech more often and as a result, be more of a menace
  

Barley

• Basics - Damage - 700 → 760
  

  
  

  Barley's brew has been less potent for a while now, so it's about time we spice up the recipe
  

Eve

• Basics - Damage - 370 → 400
  

  
  

  Eve has been less relevant since the last round of nerfs she received. While we do not want to go back to her oppressive state, we feel it's safe to roll back the latest damage nerf to allow her to be a more viable pick
  

Gus

• Scale shield and heal amounts with power levels:
  

  • healing 1000 → 800-1200.
    

  • shield 3600 → 2600-3900
    

• Increase super projectile speed - changed from 3200 to 3600

• Gadget - Kooky Popper - dmg - 1800 -> 1400

• Gadget - Soul switcher - HP cost - 30%->15%

• Allow super to go through walls
  

  
  

  
  Gus's power level was challenging for us to gauge, but after the meta has settled, it's clear he's on the weaker side. A big part of this is his super, as mostly you do not want to risk using it and missing a teammate. Making the projectile speed significantly faster not only makes it easier to hit teammates but allowing it to pierce walls will allow for some really neat teamwork and make Gus feel like the support he's supposed to be!
  Along with this, we made his heal and shield values scale with power level, as he was extremely strong at lower power levels from a raw numbers perspective and less so at higher levels. This change in practice means he's a bit weaker at lower powers and a bit stronger higher up.

Gene

• Spirit Slap Star Power effect has changed to: "Gene's Magic and also damages enemies, dealing 1000 damage on hit"

  
  

  His previous Star Power wasn't providing the value we wanted and definitely not a good competitor against Magic Puffs

Nerfs

Poco

• Basics - Damage - 800 → 760
  

  
  

  Poco's newest songs have been way too deadly, and while we all love a good fiesta, it's clear that he needs to be tuned down a bit.
  

Sam

• SP - Hearty Recovery - Missing health % - 30 → 20
  

  
  

  Even though Sam has a really high-skill floor, his healing SP has proven to be very strong. Tuning it down should allow for more brawlers to be able to burst him down effectively.
  

Stu

• Gadget - Speed Zone - Added HP decay
  

  
  

  Added decay to the spawnable Gadgets to have consistency between the ones in the game
  

Bea

• Gadget - Honey Molasses - Added HP decay for CoNsIsTeNcY
  

Bug Fixes

• Improved performance on low-end devices

• Fixed an issue where Janet's Gadget VFX persisted after being teleported

• Fixed Ivy Belle's missing shake VFX when shooting
  

• Fixed an issue where Local Leaderboards weren't updated when players/clubs changed country
