[2020] Nexus Blitz Design Patch notes 7/7

Hello, everybody! Here are the design-related changes coming to Nexus Blitz after today's PBE deploy:

Design Changes:

• Inhibitor Respawn Time 2:00 >>> 3:00
• Time Between Events 2:30-3:00 >>> 3:00-3:30
• On Fire healing/shielding penalty 15% >>> 25%
• Target Dummy movement restriction radius 1200 >>> 900
• Spear of Shojin reverted to what it was in the previous run of Nexus Blitz (Flat DR that scales off of bonus AD)
• The cooldown reduction was multiplying too much with On Fire, leading to champions like Jax and Master Yi having their defensive spells up too often
• Boundary of URF Deathmatch and Prize Fight now counts as a wall for the purposes of pathfinding and champion abilities (with the exception of Kayn E)
• Jungle Guardian is now revealed to the unit they are targeting
• Gromp: Armor 0 >>> -10 MR -15 >>> 0
• Krug: Armor 10 >>> 0 MR -15 >>> 0
• Murkwolf: Armor 10 >>> 0

Champion Balance:

Buffs

• Akali: +5% Damage Dealt & -5% Damage Taken
• Evelynn: +5% Damage Dealt & -5% Damage Taken
• Rek’Sai: +5% Damage Dealt & -5% Damage Taken
• Sett: -5% Damage Dealt & +5% Damage Taken >>> -5% Damage Dealt

Nerfs

• Brand: -5% Damage Dealt
• Kayle: -5% Damage Dealt & +5% Damage Taken
• Maokai: -5% Damage Dealt & +5% Damage Taken
• Sona: -5% Damage Dealt & +5% Damage Taken

Note: Jax and Master Yi are on our watchlist, but since they were the premier Shojin abusers we decided not to nerf them until we see how they adjust.
