“In order to increase the level of competition with early game objectives, we will increase the rewards for dragons and Heralds in the early stages. Single dragon buffs currently have too little effect and players will often only target dragon soul buffs instead of these single buffs. To make dragon buffs even more powerful, their value in this patch has been increased by almost 50% (and even more with Wind Dragons) We’re also reducing the damage of dragons, and increase their stamina to give both teams time to rally and challenge this goal. Similarly, the Herald will also be increased in value by giving more gold. We also boosted the second Herald’s health to increase its competitive value, making it less likely to be ignored.”
