Major update is OUT! OUTLANDERS 7.23 is now Live!

The latest patch arrived today which features two new heroes and a lot of balance changes. With regards to the latest patch, Some pro players shared their expectations and hopes of
the latest patch before it arrived.

Gambit Esports’ Artsiom “fng” Barshak was a bit more casusal about the patch, and instead focused on getting enough practice with it for the upcoming Major qualifiers.

“As a pro player, you don’t really care about what’s happening in the new patch, you just want to have something new to explore” said fng.

While Team Spirit’s captain Mihail “Misha” Agatov took an aggressive expression towards the new patch hoping that it would change everything.

“We’ve gotten the most that we can get out of this patch. My imagination is ending. And although we’re still creating some interesting strategies, I’m hoping for as much change as can be possible.”
said Misha.

Evil Geniuses position 5 Tal “Fly” Aizik also wants the meta to be changed. he said “I want to rethink how I veiw the game, that’s what would be the most fun for me,” said Fly

while others are hoping for a general meta change in this patch. Team Adroit’s Position 3 Jun “Bok” Kanehara was just hoping for minor changes and nerfs to some heroes, including his signature hero, Night Stalker.

“I hope NS gets nerfed heavily”, “I hope the AOE void gets tweaked. It’s too big, and too powerful”.

Bok also mention that he was looking forward to the latest heroes, because the new meta was too old and that everyone was looking forward to a new patch and new heroes.

“We need something newer for the game, to make it better”, Bok added.

Jabz from Fnatic had a more carefree approach, hoping for change and perhaps some nerfs to most heroes that are “imba” such as Gyrocopter and Faceless void.

And there are plenty of pro players who shared their thoughts for this new patch. Moving on to the new patch there are plenty of balance changes and map changes too. One noteable map change is the “Outpost” replacing the
side shops. Returning items are also out such as the famous Ring of Aquila, Iron Talon and everyone’s favourite early item, Poor Man’s Shield. But that’s not the only change in this 7.23 patch, Neutrals now randomly drop tier
items after killing them which would change the pace of the game. How will this changes affect the game? Let’s find out and explore this major changes to our beloved game.
