We hope you all had a great Christmas. The last update for this year is a small balance update again (v15.13) and now available on EU servers.

• Tanking mercenaries (Thor, Abomination, Reaver, Immortal) starting hitpoints lowered (Thor to 155, others to 145)
• Tanking mercenaries hitpoints gain through health upgrades lowered by 40%
• Thor: Attack vs. single targets buffed but splash removed
• Thor: Spawn duration increased by 10%
• Thor: Self-Detonation bug fixed
• Medic: Starting hitpoints and hitpoint gain decreased significantly, but starting heal capacity raised.
• Abomination: Separation radius lowered and attack range raised
• Marine: Shotguns splash radius and damage fraction increased, and maximum targets set to 3.
• Spawn durations for Lyotes and Medics slightly decreased.
• Diamondbacks armor penetration chance raised to 20%.

That’s it for 2011. Starting next year, we will work on the upcoming hero content patch (v16.0). You can expect further balance updates in January.

See you soon!
