As we all know, Jett’s dash has been nerfed and there will be now a timer to use her dash. It is said that it’s still as good as it was, but on the attacking side.

• Upon pressing E, Jett consumes her Tailwind charge and after a .75 second delay, activates a 12-second window where she’s able to dash on next key press
• Jett’s Tailwind charge can still be regained with 2 kills
• To keep parity with the changes to Jett dash, the functionality for Dash during Knife rounds in Escalation will be adjusted

Sova

Earlier, Sova’s Shock dart and recon animation were also changed. It would have impacted the lineups of players which takes a lot of time to make. But Riot later decided to not implement the change.

However, changes in damage of Shock dart and owl drone is still there.

• Duration reduced 10s >>> 7s
• Health reduced 125 >>> 100
• Dart Reveal
  Number of reveal pings reduced 3 >>> 2
  Initial delay before first ping reveals increased 1.2s >>> 1.6s*
  Delay between the first and second ping remains 1.2s

Neon

Redid the tweet for clarification and to fix a mistake. :p

• Slide cannot be cast during equip delay
• Velocity restriction removed
• Neon can now slide sideways and forward, and only requires that she is moving
• Energy drain increased 6.7/s>>>10/s
• Wall damage removed

Other Changes

Now Sova’s Hunter fury, Raze’s showstopper and Jett’s knife will show how many ammo are left.

• Reduced Rank Rating gain/loss penalty for different 5-stack configurations
  • If EVERYONE in your party is Iron–Diamond 2:
    • No RR penalty if within normal grouping
