1.0.8 Preview Part 2 - Upgrading Troops

Incoming Math!

We’re making a change to the diminishing return formula in 1.0.8
The end result is about identical returns for masteries up to about 50, but it drops off just a little after that point… for example at mastery level 100, it is about 5% lower. We’ve found that exceedingly high level players are getting just a few more mana surges than we would like.

If you think of a diminishing return formula as:

CHANCE = (LIMIT * MASTERY) / (MASTERY + DECAY)

We currently have LIMIT = 1 & DECAY = 100
We’re going to change to LIMIT = 0.73 & DECAY = 62

When we graph the differences in the mana surge chance we get the following

That’s a fairly small change… if you have masteries around the 150 mark, then every 10 matches would give you 5 surges instead of 6.
