Valve dropped a new Deadlock update on March 6, and it touches two things players argue about constantly: movement and Shrine pacing. Neither change is cosmetic.
The headliner is jump-during-slide, which opens up a whole new set of movement options that the community has been theorycrafting for a while. Dash jump now also grants a brief window of increased air control, 30% for 0.25 seconds, which is short enough to feel intentional rather than broken. On the Shrine side, Valve has split the HP pool to make the first one easier to kill and the second harder, mirroring how Walkers already work. First Shrine drops from 8,100 HP to 5,000; the second scales up to 10,000 after the first dies. That's a deliberate pacing lever, and it should stop early Shrine kills from snowballing quite so hard.
Shrines also apparently fight back now, though the full details are in the notes below. This is a tighter patch than last week's dumps, but the movement changes alone will shift how aggressive players approach the mid-game.
