• Non-Intended Environment:

This mod is an independent project. It is not associated with the Hero PvP Bundle or Re-balance mods and follows an aggressive PvE-only balancing philosophy.

• Competitive Impact:

The introduction of frame-data tweaks, increased I-frames, and instant-cleanses fundamentally breaks the intended synchronization of Vanilla Hero PvP.

• User Conduct & Online Policy:

This mod is strictly intended for Offline and Co-op play. I do not support its use in public competitive matchmaking. Because this mod is "Visible to All," using it in a competitive setting is a violation of this mod's intended use. Please respect the community and only use this in private sessions or co-op.

If you want to use this mod in competitive matchmaking download the Hero PvP Patch file version, and please ensure you have direct consent with those in the lobby before using this mod in a public/private competitive matchmaking.
