We've made the following tweaks to try to even out the current balance. Some additional smaller tweaks may happen before the next big content patch (late October), but don't expect any bigger changes before then.

• Croak
• Attack Speed when Weapon Charges are active reduced by ~15%
• Battlerite
• Twin Stikes
• Damage reduced to 4 from 5
• Lucie
• Barrier
• Cooldown reduced to 10s from 12s
• Crippling Goo
• Impact damage increased to 18 from 12
• Now deals area damage instead of over time damage (which means that the goo can deal lethal damage)
• Oldur
• Chronoflux
• Now reflects projectiles a lot quicker
• Quick Sand
• Damage increased to 18 from 14
• Poloma
• Other Side
• Cooldown increased to 12s from 10s
• Soul bolt
• Range reduced to 8 from 9

EDIT: A small rating update was also included in the patch; you can now no longer visually lose rating when winning a match.

We also made a matchmaking hotfix earlier today. You can find information about it here.

We have patched a matchmaking change to improve team-balance for premades and players that solo-queue. When queuing as a party the matchmaking system will now prioritize matchups against other parties of the same size.

Another change we’ve implemented is win-streak matching. If you won your last game you will have a greater chance of being matched vs opponents that also won their last game. This will prevent players from getting matched against the same opponents two or more games in a row.

These changes will probably result in slightly longer queues, but better games. The restrictions are lifted when you've been in queue for long enough though.

Today we’ve updated the game with a small improvement to the current ranking and matchmaking system. Players during placement games are now less likely to be matched with high-graded players.

In late October we’re planning a content update that will include:

• 2 New Champions
• Night variation of Blackstone Arena
• Balance updates & improvements to existing Champions
• Additional Legendary Weapons & new cosmetics
• Various improvements to other parts of the game

Revamped Ranking System
A solid Ranking System is a top-priority for us due to the competitive nature of Battlerite. We are working on a new system that will include improvements and additional options!

Extended Champion Progression
More levels, more rewards and more options for you to stand out from the crowd with your favorite Champion!

Champion Updates
We will put a ton of work into creating new Champions and also into balancing and tuning the existing ones. Expect abilities to change and battlerites to be updated in our quest to perfect every single Champion!
