Adora is a unique hero in how she has a great deal more value in spending cash to level her up faster, however she outperforms other heroes by too much regardless of this added cost. As her ability uptime is so incredibly good to the point of being completely spammable we’re increasing that cooldown slightly and reducing her base pierce in the higher levels so more thought must be required to utilize the large pierce increase she gains from usage of that ability. — Update notes

As knowledge, power & variety of Paragons has developed they have turned out to be extremely powerful against vortex and we have reached a point with enough good paragon diversity we no longer feel like they need to resist Vortex’s stun for such a large advantage over other towers, instead of this we feel Vortex’s stun is just too long in general so is being reworked to an overall lower amount across the tiers without any paragon immunity. — Update notes
”
Paragons no longer have 50% reduced stun duration
Stun duration reworked at all tiers for generally reduced durations
Lych has some cheese strategy in pre-buffing before spawn to get around the draining mechanics, but boss functionality now makes it easy for us to try out a quick change to counteract some of this. — Update notes
”
Lych now triggers the 'buff drain' attack immediately on spawn
