[Jack ‘O]

“After many iterations of Jack O’, we have finally found his sweet spot. He is expected not to drastically change from here on out, and we have greatly improved on his play experience.”

Ultimate

[Surprise!]

  • When hit by Ultimate projectile, its hitbox is increased so that opponents cannot escape it mid-Ultimate.

[Master Cat]

“Master Cat has high points for his mobility and high damage potential. However, his high difficulty made him hard to safely play within the Dominion Point.
