Bloody Retribution has been showing a significant advantage over its two alternatives, so we're making the following adjustments to balance them out:

[Ice Retribution] (↑)
Movement Speed Stolen: 42-70 >> 72-100
Duration: 3s >> 5s

[Bloody Retribution] (~)
Total HP Stolen: 12% >> 12.5%

[Battlefield Timeline]
Lord's presence after the 18-min mark was still lower than we'd expected, so we're changing one of its abilities to help it better bolster nearby allies' attack abilities.

Summoned Lord After Second Enhancement (↑)
Ability 2: Instead of Damage Reduction, Summoned Lord now grants nearby allied heroes a buff effect: Attack against enemy heroes deals extra Magic Damage. Cooldown: 2s. (Similar to Orange Buff). This effect will disappear once the hero leaves Lord's vicinity.

IV. System Adjustments

1. Removed some of the tap sound for the home screen, loading screen, and in-match mini-map to improve the overall experience.

2. Adjusted the Frame Rate setting in Settings and added higher frame rate support for certain devices.
