There were some UI glitches and other minor bugs that have been fixed as well (like the missing Megaera effect)

[xprs]

ah, the update that was needed, centaurs and perseus finally balanced, we can get back to attacking again. also seaweed is going to need a few slaps to convince him he isn't just dreaming.

zeus nerfed

[Sirio Flash]

Assuming that I don't use patron Zeus but the weakening only concerns the strength of the patron... not lightning, right?

[Olympia]

I do hope that it doesn't effect the lightning... because in that case the centaurs' and zeus' changes would cancel each other. Can anyone from the developers enlighten us regarding the strength nerf and how does it affect the patron... in this case zeus?

[xprs]

pretty sure it refers to chain lightning specifically, though it isn't worded clearly. if you select zeus patron his chain lightning strength at 100 patron points is 150%. whereas his strength/attack is at 100% with 100 patron points. this must mean that the above wording of "Zeus patron strength boost back down to 100% from 150%" refers to the chain lightning and not the normal attack strength.

This is important to understand and that it is specified in the best possible way. Put like this it looks like only strength (patron's second boost line) and not chain lightning (patron Zeus' third boost line). I hope a developer clarifies this point

Quite frankly its a moot point, imo any nerf to Zeus at this stage is untenable. I definitely wont be using him again when there are much better patron options sporting 150% boosts. i was really hoping he wouldnt get hit again, but im guessing they wanted to counterbalance the nerfs to centaurs. It sucks that the King of the Gods has to take it though.

By the way, I don't see anyone rushing to use Adonis after this buff, come on Leroy, be bold, he needs a remake, increase his range or charm ability to 1000 and people still aren't going to use him. And the nerfs on Paris are brutal, and I don't even use Paris, but comeon, useage rates for him might be high, but he's not particularly strong, he's only used so much because he's the only hero that can provide some countering ability to monogod, so most bases include him for that reason alone. As a slow pusher I love seeing him, he's one of the easiest heros to deal with other than Adonis.

This effects Zeus chain lightning patron boost strength only. Normal non-patron uneffected.

I'm pretty sure I could easily buff Adonis's charm/health/strength/range in a way that everyone would use him.
