12/3(Tue) Balance update notes

[Buffs]

[Kaiser]

• The recent changes to Kaiser allowed him to regain some strength, but he still feels underpowered. 
• To address this, impactful changes from past updates have been partially reverted. Also, the knockback on his last Ground Attack after using Ultimate is increased to ensure Kaiser’s significance when he uses his Ultimate.

[Adjust]

[Briar]

• Briar’s “Sharp Thorns” Ability was intended to increase the frequency of her Skill and Ground Attack but her current state is not meeting these goals. This is because additional effort is required to close the gap between her enemy, who was knocked far away, and land a follow-up Ground Attack.
• To make up for this, we reworked her Ability to ensure it remains effective, even when her Skill and Ultimate are unavailable.
• Additionally, we reduced the knockback from her Aerial Attack, which was excessive in comparison to the other Legends.

[Loren and Vex]

• The appeal of Abilities lies in their versatility, offering diverse strategies based on player’s choices. However, Loren’s Abilities are overly focused on utilizing Vex. This update aims to broaden her potential and allow her to take the spotlight.
• Firstly, we reverted the stun duration on Loren’s Aerial Attack to make consecutive Aerial Attacks easier. Instead, the damage of her [Air Waltz] Ability will be slightly decreased.
• Also, Loren’s relatively short cooldowns made her [Step Up] Ability less appealing. We reworked this Ability to increase Skill damage, so it competitive enough with other Abilities.

[Pinocchio]

• Pinocchio displays outstanding performance when using his Ultimate, but his Ultimate Ability limits such plays, making it difficult for players to select this Ability. 
• As a result, we relaxed the conditions to make his Ultimate Ability a more appealing and valuable option, while also adjusting its power to maintain overall balance.
