Paragon v.43.2 gets patch notes highlighting a few tweaks

After a break of a week, Epic is back patching Paragon tomorrow taking the game to v.43.2 and it’s got a few things worth noting.

As far as heroes are concerned, there are really only minor changes to effects and even facial animation adjustments. No major balancing in this update. There are points worth noting for specific cards such as Thorned Yormi, Plague Lord Mallenk and Woundseeker which are pretty popular cards in a lot of decks.

There is a change to towers, specifically non-tier 1 towers. An early game bonus armor is now being applied to these so that’s tier 2 and inhibitors now getting that bonus also. There is also a load of collision fixes following the release of the new Monolith map a couple of weeks ago.

Still no news on Paragon‘s major issue the matchmaking but hopefully that will be attended to in the next couple of months. It really needs to be looked at badly.
