PH16 Patch Notes 1.337

PH16 PATCH NOTES 1.337

In today’s patch we wanted to focus on a more balanced experience between the viewers and the streamers. Because of this we've made some targeted adjustments to Elliface, Smokelesspanic, Troopzor, and a few others in the roster. We hope these changes bring the whole game to a better place for the upcoming PH16 Championship series.

STREAMERS:

AngeredOwl:

Since reaching the rank of SergeantOwl we have not yet been able to reflect that. With that said we decided to give a boost to his OwlRage ability. To further enforce his feel as a Sergeant we have also given him a classic sergeant ability, KNIFE HAND YELLING!

• OwlRage +10 seconds duration (20 minutes and 10 seconds now)

• Movement speed per level -5

• NEW ABILITY: KNIFE HAND YELLING - When the Owl is enraged he may activate this ability to point at the source of his rage dealing 500 yell damage to the target. 

Brozay27x:

A lot of feedback we have received is that his singing voice is simply too powerful and puts everyone to shame. Because of this we have reduced his singing power by 5% and will be monitoring these effects closely with our internal data and will adjust appropriately. With that said we also adjusted other values to keep him within his win percentage.

• Singing voice -5% 

• Destiny 2 loot hype +4.20%

ChefBrent:

ChefBrent’s recent update caused his gameplay to shift drastically away from his cooking skills. To address this we’ll be buffing his cooking skills and adjusting his other playstyles to not be as strong.

• Swedish Brent: Cooking Speed +12%

• Ancient Alton Knowledge: Cooking Facts accuracy +30%

• Cuphead SpeedyBoi: PB Strength -7%

• IRL: Graphics -3%, Gameplay +5%

DrSensualPotatoPhd:

For the good Dr we addressed a major bug that was brought to our attention from the community. With that said we’re going to make a small nerf to his “I'M NOT ONLY SEXY BUT GOOD AT GAMES” Passive as it was negatively affecting the self esteem of the rest of the team. (How can one compete against such things?)

• Dr’s joke generation routine only using dad jokes has been fixed.

• I'M NOT ONLY SEXY BUT GOOD AT GAMES: Skill -14%, Sexy: +3%

Elliface:

Elliface has been dominating the scene lately and this has our balance team concerned. Because of this we have decided that she needs some drastic nerfs to bring her to a healthier state in the game. We believe these changes will bring her to new Frequent Effects Through Intelligent Sound Hose (F.E.T.I.S.H.)

• Fish Put: +5%

• Monthly Theme: -13%

• Lexie Adorable Meter: -26%

• Cooking ability: -18%

• Food Blendering: +420%

Kevin_Spicy:

Kevin_Spicy has caused some confusion with how spicy he really is. To better convey this information we will be adding a toggle to his Spicy ability. We will also be reducing the frequency of his puns as they were also causing rage induced drinking in his viewers.

• Spicy Mild: Comments are SFW

• Spicy Spicy: Comments are NSFW 

• Pun frequency: -5%

LitaGemini:

With LitaGemini we noticed that her dirty jokes had been getting out of hand. To address this we will be nerfing them. To make up for this nerf, as it will be a large one, we have added a new ability to her skillset. We also have had to address a bug that allowed her feet to be shown on stream bringing her dangerously close to being banned from a multitude of countries.

• Dirty Jokes: -69%

• Rabbit Hats: Rabbits can now wear hats

• BenchPress: +2%

• Bug Fix: Feet removed
  
  

Nakubael:

Naku has been in a great spot right now so we don’t want to alter his stats too much but we have decided that buffing his Video edit skills will help tune him towards a more fun playstyle. To keep this from moving him from his current spot we will be nerfing his bael element.

• Video Edit: +5% 

• Bael: -10% juicyness

RexHavoc:

With the introduction of Escape From Tarkov streams we noticed that RexHavoc lacked any knowledge to really adapt to such a unique game. To fix this we had some targeted changes to improve his raids.

• Careful Thought: +7%

• Aggression: -23%

• Game Knowledge: +12%

Tommcq:

We’ve noticed that Tommcq hates Super Mario Sunshine but is playing it for a second time. To address this we have buffed his sunshine enjoyment stat. Outside of this change Tommcq is also in a great spot. This is accounting for his recent rise in sweet streams bro man (SSBM) ratio. With that said we want to increase his SSBM ratio with even more SSBM.

• Sunshine Enjoyment: +69%

• SSBM: +1337%

Troopzor:

Troopzor’s recent Half-Life 3 runs have been going fantastic but we’ve noticed that he has been continuously faltering at Omega Laboratories Under Lancaster. We’ve also heard reports that Troopzor does not stream. These reports will be looked into, however we have no reason to believe Troopzor would lie to us as we all know Half-Life 3 has been out for over 5 years now. To address these concerns we will be increasing his streaming amount and his Half-Life skill. To compensate for these increases we will be nerfing his Half-Life Game Title by 2.

• Streaming: +100%

• Half Life Skill: +10%

• Half Life Game Title: -2 (down to Half-Life 1 from Half-Life 3)
  
  

VIEWERS:

KingOfCalcium: Potassium increased 2%

Horrorhistorian: Added cosmetic hoodie.

GothicMedic: Command and Conquer reference ability nerfed by 75%. Only Troopzor can be that obsessed with C&C.

MadWorldGales: New equipable item - Gaming Computer

Neon_Hime: Given more swords

Smokelesspanic: Moved him to the Disco

xoMikey: Removed the rough and tough, Now just In The Morning
