Vortex

“

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

”

•  Elite tier 5 ― 40s → 30s

Lych

“

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

Lych-soul

Notes

• The update video shows a different design for Lifeguard Brickell with an orange cross on her shirt and flag. It was changed to a life preserver symbol after players noted that it closely resembled the Red Cross, and using it in a game violates the Geneva conventions. The video thumbnail also changed at one point to use the new design.
• The official update notes include a list of joke changes for Obyn Greenfoot:

Obyn obyn Obyn obyn obyn obyn Obyn obyn

• what fits for ‘Obyn’
• one syllable, maybe two?
• oh well no one minds

The capitalization of "Obyn obyn Obyn obyn obyn obyn Obyn obyn" is a reference to the sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo".
