🐼Balance changes - Pandas Rework

We are happy to present the long-awaited Pandas rework! Some heroes got a little tweaks and rebalance, while others have been properly reworked. Also, Pandas have received a new buff - Self Control. 

When this buff is active, a hero is immune to Daze, Stun, and turn meter reduction (similar to how Daze prevents from getting turn meter bonuses, but the other way around). Ember has also received a unique buff, Inner Fire that grants her +5% Potency for each stack. 

We would also like to let you know that we plan to add some more Panda changes, so please stay tuned to more tweaks in future, for example, for Lake’s leadership ability. 

We would like to thank gamechangers crew as well as the theorycrafting community for sharing their suggestion.
