Patch 1.8.92: What to Play

·3 buffed·3 nerfed

The TL;DR

Equipment Evolution arrives — Clock of Destiny reworked, Sky Piercer added.

What to play this patch

Equipment Evolution is the defining change — every build has new options. Mage meta is hot. Avoid first-picking Moskov unless your draft needs the pierce.

The meta shift

Equipment Evolution goes live. Clock of Destiny gains defensive scaling via hero-damage-based stacking — now balances damage and survivability. New item Sky Piercer introduces execution mechanics for assassins (reward kills, penalize deaths with stack loss). Wide hero balance pass across mages.
