  5. Higher HP regeneration from his passive


How these adjustments made Balmond more viable in the META?

1. He is now a better offlaner


The increase in regeneration from his passive will make him recall much lesser than before. He can now trade damage with the opposing enemy to utilize this passive. Also, because of his improved second skill, the opposing enemy will think twice before trying to get near you while clearing the wave.

2. Improved secure kills capability

Because of his longer blink skill, it is easier to close gaps with the enemies. The added damage especially from his ultimate skill can instantly kill any low HP enemies within the area of effect.

3. Faster rotation

Due to higher damage, less use of recall, and longer blink skill, he can now rotate fast and help a lot even in early game.



Balmond is a very easy hero to use and to master. If you are a beginner, Balmond is definitely recommended. He is now stronger than before so make sure to give it a try!
