Major Balance 1.9.0

Hello everyone,

Today we're releasing a new Major Balance Update, which will include the following changes:

- Nerfs for characters that have been performing stronger than intended.

- Small buffs and optimizations for characters that needed some attention.

- Few reworks aimed at making certain characters feel fresh again and bringing new variety to the Ladder experience.

In addition, we'll be sharing more information about upcoming events too.

Ladder Event

Starting tomorrow, we'll be launching a new Ladder Event that will run for one week:

• A separate event Ladder Rank will be created, and all players will start at 0 XP.
• Each victory will grant 350 XP, while each defeat will deduct 250 XP.
• Players will level up within the event Ladder Rank using the XP gain and loss system described above.
• The player who finishes in 1st place at the end of the week will be crowned the Winner and receive Rewards.
• Resetting your account will also reset any XP earned in the event Ladder Rank.
• Note: This event Ladder Rank is completely separate from your regular Ladder Rank. It will not affect your current level or XP in any way.

World Cup Tournament

We're also planning to host a World Cup Tournament in the near future to celebrate this World Cup year.

More details will be announced soon.

That's all for now. See y'all soon!
