Reduced damage output in mid-to-late game when Ultimate is unavailable.
Passive - Humph, Joy's Angry! NERF
Magic Bonus: 100% >> 80%
We hope to reduce Joy's damage time to increase her burst capabilities and make her more like an Assassin.

Skill Interval: 1s >> 0.8s
Increased her Jungling Speed in the early game, and reduced her Ultimate cooldown.
Passive - Humph, Joy's Angry!

Ultimate - Ha, Electrifying Beats!
Cooldown: 32s → 28s
Joy can cast her Ultimate after getting enough Beat Energy, and the control immunity makes it difficult for enemy heroes to counter it. We want to remove the control immunity, making Joy players to be more cautious when entering a fight. Her Ultimate damage will also be increased for balance
Ultimate - Ha, Electrifying Beats!
Gains Control Immunity →
Slow Immunity
New Effect: The damage doesn't decrease now.
Damage Per Hit: 135-235 +50% of Total Magic Power →
120-200 +40% of Total Magic Damage
Experimental adjustments: We wanted to make it easier for Joy's opponents to deal with her, while at the same time making her less difficult to play. Joy's enemy can now interrupt her Skill 2 with CCs. Joy should now look for the right time to enter the fight. But she still has options if her Skill 2 is interrupted.
Skill 2 - Meow, Rhythm of Joy!
Removed Effect: Immune to control effects during "Beat Time!"
Cooldown: 12-9s → 8s at all levels
Ultimate - Ha, Electrifying Beats!
Her Ultimate now unlocks after she casts her Skill 2 on beat once, but her Ultimate damage still scales with the number of Skill 2 casts on beat.
New Effect: Her Ultimate with 4 Skill 2 casts on beat makes her immune to control effects during the Ultimate.
Cooldown: 40-24s → 24s at all levels
Damage: 150-270 + 55% Total Magic Power → 135-235 + 50% Total Magic Power
Multiple skill hits on the same target will deal 20% less damage each time, down to 20% → 15% less damage each time, down to 40%.
Joy is still putting too much pressure on her opponents in the early to mid game with little effort.

Joy has impressive durability, but her burst potential is a bit lacking in the mid-to-late game. As such, we're making it harder for her to gain durability while increasing her damage to fit her role as an Assassin.

An electrifying Leonin girl. Will be available on November 18.
Passive - Humph, Joy's Angry!
Joy gains extra Movement Speed and a shield each time her skills deal damage to non-minion enemies. This effect can only be triggered once every 4s on the same enemy.
Skill 1 - Look, Leonin Crystal!
Joy summons a Leonin Crystal at the target location, dealing Magic Damage to nearby enemies. The Leonin Crystal can be used as a springboard for Joy's Skill 2.
Skill 2 - Meow, Rhythm of Joy!
Joy dashes in the target direction, dealing Magic Damage to enemies in her path.
Hitting an enemy allows Joy to enter Beat Time!, during which she's immune to control effects and can cast this skill again. Casting Skill 2 on the beat increases the skill's damage.
Ultimate - Ha, Electrifying Beats!
The Ultimate unlocks after Joy casts her Skill 2 five times in succession. Joy removes all control effects on herself, gains Movement Speed, and deals damage to nearby enemies 8 times over 4s. Each Skill 2 cast on the beat increases the Ultimate's damage.
