Brawl Rotation - Duel Mode We've gathered a lot of data and feedback regarding Battlegrounds during the current Beta state. The team has a good idea of where they want to take Battlegrounds next, as we continue to work on secondary modes we are rotating out Battlegrounds and replacing it with a temporary brawl - The 1v1 Duel Mode. Battlegrounds is still available in Private Match.
Challenge your skills and learn new Champions in a 1v1 Duel!

New Champion - Alysia, the Ice Weaver
From the frozen north comes the ice sculptor Alysia. Her power allows her to wield ice with both grace and deadly precision. She can damage and freeze her enemies from a distance, while shielding her allies with ice. Obsessed with shapes and form, she left her icy fortress of solitude to seek inspiration in the arena.
Abilities
Frost Bolt (M1) Launch a cold bolt that deals 15 damage. Deals 2 bonus damage and adds Chill duration to enemies affected by Chill.
Ice Lance (M2) Projectile attack that deals 22 damage and inflicts Chill. Deals 6 bonus damage to enemies already affected by Chill.
Arctic Wind (Space) Soar gracefully to target location.
Glacial Prism (Q)Shield a target ally. Glacial Prism absorbs up to 24 damage for 1.4s. When it breaks, it explodes to inflict Chill on nearby enemies.
Flash Freeze (E) Call down a frozen star at target location. After a 0.9s delay, it deals 15 damage and inflicts Chill to enemies in the area. Inflicts Freeze to enemies already affected by Chill.
Ice Crown (R) Launch a fragile sculpture that knocks enemies back and blocks enemy attacks for 1.5s. When it breaks, it launches a cone of icicles that deals 20 damage and inflicts Chill.
Frozen Gallery (F) Mark a path of frost in front of you. After a 0.9s delay, the patch deals 35 damage and inflicts Freeze to enemies hit, turning them into beautiful statues.
Ice Block (EX Q) Freeze target ally for 3.5s, making them immune to disables and blocking up to 40 damage. Ally cannot move or use abilities while frozen and heal for 30. Knocks back enemies and inflicts Chill when it expires.

Ashka Ashka's Molten Fist now works like most defensive abilities and can be used to interrupt your own cast times or immediately after using another ability. Some of the power in his rites are being moved around to encourage players to explore different options.
Molten Fist (E)
Can now interrupt post-cast
Battlerites
Burning Feet
Haste bonus reduced from 40% to 30%
Inferno
Damage bonus increased from 8 to 10
Magma
Damage bonus decreased from 4 to 3
Bakko
Shield Dash (E)
Fixed a bug where a target would still count as "controlled" for the full duration of the Shield Dash after it ending due to hitting a wall.
Croak Croak's Severe Toxin hampers enemy movement while giving incredible sustain. We've split the power over his two Toxin empowering rites, leaving Mending Toxin with only the increased health restoration. Lethal Toxins loses its direct damage component, but now snares enemies to give greater followups.
Battlerites
Mending Toxin (formerly Severe Toxin)
No longer snares
Lethal Toxin
No longer increases Toxic Muck impact damage
Now adds a 12% snare to Toxin
Jungle Toad
Healing amount reduced from 14 to 12
Frog Slice
Weaken duration increased from 2.5s to 3.5s
Destiny Destiny's Charged Bolt had a bug with its silence duration after interrupting an enemy's ability with spellblock. The duration has now been changed to 0.7s, and can be increased to 1.4s with the System Shock battlerite. Her Power Attachment battlerite offers a bit too much firepower on the top end, so it has been scaled down.

Silence duration after spellblock trigger increased from 0.5s to 0.7s
Battlerites
System Shock
Silence duration bonus decreased from 1s to 0.7s
Power Attatchment

Thorn The No Escape battlerite player out a little too true to its name. Thorn players were able to burrow in to find an opening, use their ultimate, and gain an immediate burrow to extend their invulnerable period. Soon after, they would have their regular burrow available again. This change reduces the efficacy of this type of play.
Battlerites
No Escape
Now gives a Lesser Burrow with duration decreased from 1.75s to 1.25s

Hold onto your triceratops, because we’re taking a trip - back in time!
Oldur has been messing with time a bit, and Chests containing ancient artifacts and dinosaurs are now popping up in the Arena.
From now until December 12th complete quests to claim mighty mounts. Play 25 Casual, League, or Battlegrounds matches to claim the Peaceful Triceratops, and 65 matches for the Enraged Triceratops.
Earn Prehistoric Chests by leveling up your account, or purchase them directly with battle coins in the Shop, where they’re temporarily replacing Silver Chests. They guarantee at least one Rare drop and one random Prehistoric Item - similar to a Silver Chest but with a dino-y extra!
If you want a higher chance at digging up nice loot, the Ancient Chest is now available for Gems. These relics will guarantee one non-duplicate Epic or Legendary Prehistoric Item. Ancient Chests can be purchased for 250 Gems, or you can purchase five at a time for 1250 Gems and receive a bonus one for free!
A plethora of brand new Prehistoric items are available to loot inside these primitive chests:
6 Legendary outfits
10 Epic weapons
10 Rare poses
3 Epic mounts
1 Legendary mount
20 avatars
Like the Halloween event, you can directly purchase Prehistoric items with tokens at twice the standard cost.
Twin Strikes has long been a frequently picked rite that adds more burst potential to Croak's Leap rotations. We are smoothing that damage out over a longer period of time to increase his vulnerability while he stays on the ground, while keeping its total damage and not affecting his Orb control. Precision Leap receives another tweak to reduce its power while still giving Croak players who want more control of their mobility an option to take the rite.
Battlerites
Precision Leap
Minimum range reduction decreased from 20% to 15%
Triple Strike (formerly Twin Strike)
Now adds 2 damage for the next 3 hits, instead of 3 damage for the next 2 hits
Destiny
Plasma Wall (E)
Fixed a bug that caused targets that turned immaterial or used escapes with i-frames while in the wall to trigger Snare
A target can now be Snared multiple times by leaving and then re-entering the wall
Fixed an issue where Plasma Wall would not be visible in the elevator
Mega Sphere (R)
Now travels through Fire Wall and Dead Roots without being destroyed
Freya
Freya's Twin Hammers cause her opponents to always live in fear of getting Incapacitated as long as they have Static. We are toning back this playstyle along with the power of her Thunderclap rites while giving her more damage options in Lightning Speed and Positive Charge.
Battlerites
Twin Hammers
Cooldown increased from 0.5s to 1s
Lightning Speed
Fixed a bug that caused this rite to only give 10% attack speed bonus, instead of the full 30%
Lightning Rod
Shield amount decreased from 15 to 12
Rolling Thunder
Leap distance decreased from 2.25 to 2
Positive Charge
Damage output increased from 10% to 15%
Iva
Iva has been prevalent in defensive compositions but is struggling to find good openings for damage. This tweak to Tazer will give her more opportunities to open up enemies while offering counterplay.
Tazer (E)
Cooldown decreased from 8s to 7s
Lucie
Roll (R)
Now interrupts post cast like most defensive abilities
Oldur
Time Bender (Q)
Now interrupts post cast like most defensive abilities
Taya
Taya has high-damage potential and significant haste uptime at the top level. We feel the haste is integral to Taya's playstyle and a core part of her kit, so instead we are addressing the power of her X-Strike first. For players that want to preserve the power of X-Strike, the damage has been moved to the Cross Cut battlerite.
X-Strike (M2)
Each boomerang has its damage decreased from 14 to 12
Battlerites
Surprise Attack
Movement speed ratio decreased from 70% to 60%
Cross Cut
Damage bonus up from 2 to 4 per boomerang
Vortex
Radius increased from 1.8 to 2.2, to match Wind Bomb impact radius
Thorn
Thorn has strong, safe pokes at long range that allow him to find punishing openings for minimal risk. These changes target the max range of his projectiles, and reduce his energy gain when engaging at long range.
Hold onto your triceratops, because we’re taking a trip - back in time!
Oldur has been messing with time a bit, and Chests containing ancient artifacts and dinosaurs are now popping up in the Arena.
From now until December 12th complete quests to claim mighty mounts. Play 25 Casual, League, or Battlegrounds matches to claim the Peaceful Triceratops, and 65 matches for the Enraged Triceratops.
Earn Prehistoric Chests by leveling up your account, or purchase them directly with battle coins in the Shop, where they’re temporarily replacing Silver Chests. They guarantee at least one Rare drop and one random Prehistoric Item - similar to a Silver Chest but with a dino-y extra!
If you want a higher chance at digging up nice loot, the Ancient Chest is now available for Gems. These relics will guarantee one non-duplicate Epic or Legendary Prehistoric Item. Ancient Chests can be purchased for 250 Gems, or you can purchase five at a time for 1250 Gems and receive a bonus one for free!
A plethora of brand new Prehistoric items are available to loot inside these primitive chests:
6 Legendary outfits
10 Epic weapons
10 Rare poses
3 Epic mounts
1 Legendary mount
20 avatars
Like the Halloween event, you can directly purchase Prehistoric items with tokens at twice the standard cost.
Twin Strikes has long been a frequently picked rite that adds more burst potential to Croak's Leap rotations. We are smoothing that damage out over a longer period of time to increase his vulnerability while he stays on the ground, while keeping its total damage and not affecting his Orb control. Precision Leap receives another tweak to reduce its power while still giving Croak players who want more control of their mobility an option to take the rite.
Battlerites
Precision Leap
Minimum range reduction decreased from 20% to 15%
Triple Strike (formerly Twin Strike)
Now adds 2 damage for the next 3 hits, instead of 3 damage for the next 2 hits
Destiny
Plasma Wall (E)
Fixed a bug that caused targets that turned immaterial or used escapes with i-frames while in the wall to trigger Snare
A target can now be Snared multiple times by leaving and then re-entering the wall
Fixed an issue where Plasma Wall would not be visible in the elevator
Mega Sphere (R)
Now travels through Fire Wall and Dead Roots without being destroyed
Freya
Freya's Twin Hammers cause her opponents to always live in fear of getting Incapacitated as long as they have Static. We are toning back this playstyle along with the power of her Thunderclap rites while giving her more damage options in Lightning Speed and Positive Charge.
Battlerites
Twin Hammers
Cooldown increased from 0.5s to 1s
Lightning Speed
Fixed a bug that caused this rite to only give 10% attack speed bonus, instead of the full 30%
Lightning Rod
Shield amount decreased from 15 to 12
Rolling Thunder
Leap distance decreased from 2.25 to 2
Positive Charge
Damage output increased from 10% to 15%
Iva
Iva has been prevalent in defensive compositions but is struggling to find good openings for damage. This tweak to Tazer will give her more opportunities to open up enemies while offering counterplay.
Tazer (E)
Cooldown decreased from 8s to 7s
Lucie
Roll (R)
Now interrupts post cast like most defensive abilities
Oldur
Time Bender (Q)
Now interrupts post cast like most defensive abilities
Taya
Taya has high-damage potential and significant haste uptime at the top level. We feel the haste is integral to Taya's playstyle and a core part of her kit, so instead we are addressing the power of her X-Strike first. For players that want to preserve the power of X-Strike, the damage has been moved to the Cross Cut battlerite.
X-Strike (M2)
Each boomerang has its damage decreased from 14 to 12
Battlerites
Surprise Attack
Movement speed ratio decreased from 70% to 60%
Cross Cut
Damage bonus up from 2 to 4 per boomerang
Vortex
Radius increased from 1.8 to 2.2, to match Wind Bomb impact radius
Thorn
Thorn has strong, safe pokes at long range that allow him to find punishing openings for minimal risk. These changes target the max range of his projectiles, and reduce his energy gain when engaging at long range.
