Version 40.1 is a minor update to version 40.0. It introduces balance changes for Corvus, who was released in the previous update, along with miscellaneous bug fixes and general changes.
We rarely make .1 changes for balance however seeing community response already confirm some of the thoughts we wanted to gauge in action, and given the upcoming holiday break, we wanted to take a quick pass to even out some of the many different parts of Corvus to all feel fun in their own way with their own fair place among the others. Given it seems he is already performing quite well it did feel necessary to shift power between parts rather than raw buffs all around, however we won’t go into detail on what we feel here as we still want to see what synergies players work out on their own. — Update notes
