Team-Up system rebuilt
Every Team-Up Anchor bonus was removed and a new set of Team-Up abilities shipped. Old anchor-stat habits (extra health, damage boosts) are gone — pick partners for the ability, not the stat stick.

New hero
Jubilee joins as a Strategist
Firework healing, vampiric orbs, a Blind for peel, and a 150/s-healing ultimate ring. Full kit, counters, and a Bronze-to-Platinum plan are live now.
Regenerative Shields
Many heroes traded base health for shields that fully recover after 5 seconds without damage. Divers and poke heroes recover between engagements; converted tanks have less raw staying power in long brawls.

Damage-to-energy and healing-to-energy conversion rates were cut across all roles. Fights are decided by cooldowns and positioning more often — do not wait for an ult that is a fight away.
