Balance Updates
Tejo
Guided Salvo no longer recharges -- instead he starts with one charge and the other can be bought for 150
Each rocket used will consume 1 charge
No cooldown
Target Range decreased from 55m to 45m
Stealth Drone
Cost increased from 300 to 400
Special Delivery
Cost decreased from 300 to 200
Armageddon
Ult points increased from 8 to 9
Breach
Fault Line detonation time increased from 1 second to 1.2 seconds
This should increase the prevalence of other initiators like Skye and Sova again, as the initiator role is still extremely powerful and necessary for coordinated play.
