It is great to see that Plarium is removing most of the RNG factor from Holsring’s kit and buffing him to be more useful against units from the Banner Lords and Knights Revenant factions. We can’t wait to see if this champion will find more use in the arena after the rebalance, and it is probably one you should also watch out for.
As for Anointed, although his changes aren’t as drastic, he’s gotten an overall buff to his buffing and debuffing capabilities, which will surely increase his damage potential as well as the damage potential of his team.
All in all, these are some great changes, and we can’t wait to see how these champions will fit in the current RAID meta after the update.
