Balance changes:
In this update we not only wanted to introduce some new content, but to touch some balancing issues as well.
We’ve followed your feedback about Buff and the current meta in the game. Like you, we really want to bring meta diversity back, as well as to give those who don’t have Buff a chance against current Arena meta teams.

That’s why we are introducing some more balance changes to Buff, as well as tweaks to some good old heroes in the elves faction. This way the Elves can be another cool and synergetic team for the Battlegrounds.We can’t wait to see what team compositions you come up with after these changes, and hope to see a lot of new builds on the Arena, Battlegrounds and beyond.
