General Changes

• Added hero banning to Standard Mode and Street Brawl. You can now select one hero in your roster screen (using middle click) to tell the matchmaker that you prefer to avoid that hero. When the game starts, it will tell you which heroes were banned. We are doing just 2 total bans for now. This does not affect new heroes in the initial release window.
• Parties of 3+ players now need to have an additional hero in their roster (from 3 to 4)
• Fire Rate increases and reductions from most abilities and items are reduced globally by a small amount
• Updated various on bullet hit resistance reduction debuffs to apply increased damage for subsequent hits rather than initial hit (similar to the spirit damage proc cases)
• Added Dash Speed to the Vitality stat screen
• Debuff Remover: Now renamed to Dispel Magic
• Curse: Renamed Curse to Cursed Relic
• Curse: No longer grants +15% Weapon Damage
• Curse: While holding this item you have a -8% Total Damage Penalty
• Street Brawl now has custom balancing for heroes and items. These will be used on occasion as needed. The tooltip will now show a special mark (similar to how Enhanced Items work), where you can see what was changed on that ability.
• Selecting the 'Random Hero' option will now grant you a bonus reroll for round 1 and 2
• Troopers now have 20% Spirit Resist. During overtime they have an additional 20% Spirit Resist.
• Legendary items drop rates increased very slightly
• Ultimates initial cooldown increased by 5s
• Trooper Spawn Rate from: 20/20/20/15/15 to 18/18/15/15/15
• Trooper Overtime DPS bonus increased by 20%
• Objective resist decay now peaks at 2.2 minutes rather than 2.5 minutes
• Objective resist decay now goes to -60% instead of -50%
• Removed global 40% healing reduction (balance note: it didn't actually work on many things that it was supposed to work on. We'll be adjusting specific things that need healing reductions directly instead.)
• Enhanced Unstable Concoction: Now increases Bonus Health, Weapon Damage, Spirit Power and Stun Duration
• Enhanced Unstable Concoction: No longer increases duration or cooldown
• Curse: Duration reduced from 3.25s to 2.75s
• Street Brawl: Healing in base is now 2x faster
• Street Brawl: Randoming bonus reroll now also affects round 3
• Street Brawl: McGinnis Heavy Barrage duration reduced from 13s to 8s
• Street Brawl: Graves Jar of Dead charge cooldown increased from 13s to 16s
• Troopers now get stronger for the specific lane that the shrine died in, rather than only after both shrines died (when both die, middle lane also gets improved)
• Shrines HP reduced by 10%
• Improved blue zipline attach speed and fixed various bugs
• Street Brawl: There is now a global time slow when the round ends
• Street Brawl: You can now move around in the spawn area after buying phase ends
• Quick Silver Reload and Mercurial Magnum now proc on non-spirit ability sources
