The patch claimed that
We’ve reworked the Kill formula
and that assists now have a
New Formula: 10 + ((50 + (VictimNetworth * 0.037) / NumHeroes)
Kill formula is normal Killgold + assist gold
I can already tell you that this new assist formula is misstyped. Mathmatically there are unnecessary brackets and for me its now clear why. The 10+ at the start is just there by mistake.
The most important part is even left out. Part of the assist formula is a NETWORTH factor. This factor used to have an upper limit of 2 due to the way the formula was constructed but now seems to be unlimited!!!
(difference/bigger number) + 1 is the old factor
And my current guess is that they simply changed this factor to
Networth enemy team / networth your team
So far I have also confirmed that base values of killstreaks and hero levels give the same exp as before and are not getting multiplied by anything. this is working as intended.
TL:DR Go into demo mode. create an enemy and give enemy dagon. blast yourself to death. See enemy get 300k gold for one kill because you have networth of 99999 gold.
Lets find this little rubberband easteregg together. Give me what you find!
