BOSSES
===============
- Overall tuned armor values down on bosses.

GENERAL
===============
- Combined hard and impossible difficulties together and made the difficulty somewhere inbetween the two. People looking for a challenge play Challenger, not Impossible and people looking for an easier time play Normal instead of Hard. By combining the two and sliding the difficulty upwards for Hard and downwards for Impossible, this hopefully creates a centerpoint difficulty for those who wish some challenge over Normal's easy route, without being as brutal as Challenger.
- Hard+Impossible uses Hard's map, Challenger uses Impossible's map.
- The combined difficulty uses Impossible's 2 lives, but gains new lives at the same rate as Hard (every 10 levels instead of every 15.)

HEROES
===============
- Fixed Lion
- The attribute talent no longer gives +20/+60/... all stats. Now increases your base attributes by 5% every levelup for a maximum of 35%.
- All hero base stats x 5 and stat gains x 10. As an example, Abaddon's Strength goes from 22 + 2.6 to 110 + 26
- Removed the secret stat scaling all heroes had based on their base stats and stat growths.
- Overall breakpoints, using Abaddon's Strength as an example: Lv 1. from 22 to 110 / Lv 30. from 743 to 864 (1166 with maxed attribute talent). This means heroes have more power in their hero and their stat growths.

ITEMS
===============

asura's free shard giveway ended

- You now get 1 life for every 5 waves beaten in Normal, 10 waves for hard, 15 waves for Impossible and never for Challenger.

- Nerfed heroes with an above 80% winrate, buffed heroes with a below 55% winrate
ITEMS
===============
- Base Midas gold gain slightly reduced, you now receive roughly 1-2 gold per hit instead of 4-5 as a Lv.1 itemless hero.
- Increased gold gain from Midas items for every player below 5 and decreased it for every player above 5.
- Midas gold gain scales better with attack damage to make it a viable alternative to attack speed stacking.
- Bloodstone no longer costs health.
- Fixed Bloodstone not providing mana when activated, but mana vamp reduced to 10% of the damage dealt instead of 100%.

- Round 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32 and 35 have been made harder either by number changes, new abilities, or merging the waves to make them more of an endurance run or both.
- Merged certain waves and their rewards together. For example, instead of 4 waves of treants, there is now a single wave of treants. Most if not all of the units still spawn. Total gold earned is the same.
