- OfficialUltronWe've adjusted the logic of Ultron's Ultimate. The four Ultron Drones surrounding Ultron will no longer shoot directly at the crosshair target; instead, they will bombard the area around the target. The bombardment area matches Ultron's, but with slightly lower values. With this adjustment, the coverage area of Rage of Ultron is increased from a 3m radius to a 6m radius.
- OfficialUltron25→40+60%After activating Rage of Ultron (Ultimate Ability): Increase Ultron's Encephalo-Rays Damage from 8 to 18. Increase the Drones' Encephalo-Rays Damage from 8 to 12. New Spell Field Damage Falloff: Starts at 1.5m after Encephalo-Rays explode, with a max falloff to 50% at 3m. Increase healing effect on allies from 25 to 40. (Damage and healing effects on targets within the original 3m radius remain roughly the same).
