Editing Potion of Speed Update (section)

== SPELLS AND ABILITIES ==
* Rebalanced all abilities that modify melee attack or melee defence, reducing their effectiveness by roughly 10%.
* Rebalanced all abilities that modify melee base damage or melee AP damage, increasing their effectiveness by 20%.
* Visual re-work of Alith Anar’s Mislead ability:
** When the decoy unit is clicked on by an enemy, some of the decoy’s unit information is now inherited from the real Alith Anar, making the decoy a lot harder to spot.
** The decoy does not deal any damage, but is Unbreakable and has Perfect Vigour.
** When the decoy dies, it no longer leaves a persistent body. Instead, is disappears in a shadowy cloud of smoke.
* For the purpose of streamlining some unclear communication in the battle layer, we’ve updated all projectiles spawned by abilities to be unblockable. This applies to bombardments, magic missiles and more. It was clear after an internal discussion that our current implementation didn’t really communicate to the player when they could rely on a shield to block or not block a magic missile. Shields still block regular arrows as normal.
