Patch notes

General

• AdjustmentUnstable Rift comeback resist max values now scale over the course of the game. Previously the max values were 35%. Now it is 10% + 1% per minute (around ~20% for the first one), with an upper limit of 40% at 30 minutes.
• AdjustmentRemoved a fixed amount of extra bonus souls you would get for being behind even a very slightly amount in net worth for both hero kill bounties as well as Unstable Rift bounties (this had a larger impact on the early to mid game)
• AdjustmentSlightly reduced comeback bounties in general (this is in addition to the above change)
• AdjustmentA portion of the comeback souls earned by players above enemy teams average net worth is instead distributed via the tick gold system that is given to the lowest 2 players (70% of the extra comeback value goes to them)

• NerfShare for objectives bounty to nearby heroes reduced from 30% to 25% (the remaining gets split between all 6 players)

to toggle the slow drag behavior on and off)
