A while back, we launched the loot orb rework that normalized loot orbs, and introduced the prismatic orbs. Generally that rework seems to have been a success, and players seem to enjoy it! Huzzah!

But there was one thing internally that we felt didn’t quite hit the mark, and that was making Prismatic Orbs REALLY feel special. Like they were…ok. But getting a bunch of normal items out of it…that’s not really special.

So in Patch 14.10, we’re making the following changes:
*No longer drop from Krugs (Stage 2)
*Now drops much less often (~20% as often as before)
*Average gold value: 24g >>> 40g

The goal here is that these are something very rare, that you may only see once every 50-100 games…but when you do, it’s like HOLY COW THAT’S CRAZY! So the contents will always be something transformative, and exciting.

It’s a small change that won’t affect most games, but it should feel pretty exciting now when you see one. I’ll reveal the full loot table on the patch rundown. Otherwise, have a good day and take it easy 🙂
