Victor and Calico have been dominating recently. Over the past 7 days, Victor has held an impressive 54.09% win rate in Oracle+, making him an S-Tier powerhouse in skilled hands. Meanwhile, Calico isn’t far behind with a solid 52.85% win rate in Oracle+, securing third place after Victor and Paige.
Other heroes have seen a variety of buffs and nerfs as Valve continues to fine tune through balance updates.
General Changes
- * Getting damaged during the initial launch window (0.6s) after using a Jump Pad will cause you to be stunned (similar to ziplines having an initial knockoff period). When you are stunned, you will lose control and continue towards the landing destination. The stun will wear off 0.2s after landing, and then a 30% slow for 2s will apply. Damage over time does not trigger this (same damage rules as ziplines).
