That’s pretty much it, the most important things are almost done. This means that the game should become a bit longer, knowing the fact of all the wrong mitigation. Since the Damage mitigation is now active, the overall fights should take more time, which is also nice.
There will also be a fix of one exploit on the Frozen Guard map.
That’s it, tell us your thoughts on this Paladins OB47 patch. It seems like the games are going to be a bit more exciting and Inara may finally get in the middle of a point. We still think that Inara needs a bit more buff, around 200 more hp would do a nice job. However, this is what the devs are thinking and it is what it is.
As always, Hi-Rez studios are always listening to their community, so let’s sit back, relax, and see the future outcome.
