Patch 1.9.44 includes modifications to hero abilities, equipment, and other battlefield elements. With the introduction of the new ranked season 35 and the release of Lukas in the Original Server, let’s explore the specifics of these updates and what they mean for players.

Hero Adjustments in Patch 1.9.44

Yi Sun-shin’s Strategic Enhancements

Yi Sun-shin has been tweaked to support allies better while offering reduced burst damage. Notable changes include:

  • Passive Ability: Enhanced visual effects for Basic Attack Indicators now show changes between longbow and glaive states more precisely.
  • Ultimate Ability:
    • Expanded sight range covering the entire map. Yi Sun-shin gains an assist for any enemy hero kills across the map.
    • 70% Movement speed increase upon boarding, decaying to 20% over 2s.
    • Reduced Turtle Ship duration (30s >> 20s) and increased interval between cannon shots.

Revamped Hanzo Adjustments

Hanzo receives adjustments to enhance gameplay dynamics:

  • Skill 1 (Hanekage): Reduced cast range to maintain counterplay opportunities.
  • Skill 2 (Hanekage): Increased charge speed to improve hit rates.

Aulus’s Balanced Power

Aulus sees a reversal in base damage adjustments with a new cap on extra damage:

  • Skill 2: Increased base and max damage, with a cap on extra damage against creeps based on hero level.

Cecilion’s Late-Game Adjustments

To address his dominance in later stages, Cecilion’s damage output has been reduced:

  • Skill 1: Decreased magic power bonus affecting both path and end damage.

Lukas’s Early Game Tuning

Lukas’s early-game resilience has been dialed back to balance his overall performance:

  • Skill 1 and Ultimate: Reduced base damage across various stages of the game.

Equipment Adjustments

Changes to Malefic Gun

The Malefic Gun adjustments aim to refine its impact on the battlefield:

  • Unique Passive – Malefic Energy: Reduced range increase and movement speed boost duration, which now requires higher attack speed to activate in later game phases.

Other Battlefield Adjustments

  • Aim Panning Optimization: Improved camera shifts when aiming skills off-screen.
  • Fixes: Resolved issues with Clint’s ultimate recharge time and discrepancies in Argus’s skill damage description.
