Hi there, it's me, Arnold with some big news. This time I'm unveiling some future plans for the new season in March.
I. Clearer Laning Guidance
We've realized that there are indeed some inconveniences when choosing lanes, therefore, we'll add some shortcuts to help you pick the hero that is suitable for different lanes and communicate with your teammates. At the same time, we will optimize the laning guide in the battlefield to make it easier to distinguish between the Exp Lane and the Gold Lane. We've also optimized some of the laning rules to help you understand the responsibilities of each lane better.
II. Battlefield Adjustments
We've optimized the terrain near the river where the Serpent spawns, now Lithowanderer will spawn more naturally. Besides that, killing the Lithowanderer now will receive an upgraded buff. Not only will Walkie Grass follow you, but a small beast will spawn and patrol around the mid lane area.
We hope these changes will bring more possibilities to the battlefield.
In addition, we'll make a series of adjustments to balance the gameplay based on M2.
I. Hero Adjustments
The pick rate of the heroes in M2 has surpassed 58%, which is relatively high among other MOBA games. Many unsung heroes such as Belerick and Harley, also performed well on the battlefield after some buff and adjustments. Of course, we also noticed that some heroes are still overpowered, and we will make some adjustments according to their performance in ranked matches.
II. Equipment Adjustments
We will make some adjustments to the equipments. As we already have a redesign and optimization plan on the unpopular equipment items, therefore, we're more inclined to make attribute adjustments on the popular items in the new season.
III. Other
We will make some adjustments to other aspects in the battlefield as well, such as the turrets' power in the early and mid game.
Finally, we will continue to optimize non-meta heroes: Argus' revamp will soon be online in the Official Server, and Bane's experience optimization is still going on in the Advanced Server.
These changes will go live in the Advanced Server accordingly. You're always welcome to leave your comments and suggestions.
Have fun in MLBB!
