Paragon patch v.38.1 brings the death cam and balance changes

Any gamer will tell you there is nothing more depressing that watching how you died. Epic has now released the Paragon v.38.1 update which now includes a replay cam to show your death.

Epic are selling this as a way to learn from your mistakes, which it probably is, but let’s face it most deaths will be because players are simply not using Wards. Yes, that is still a big problem even now.

In this update, a couple of heroes have been re-balances, Belica has been buffed and Steel has been nerfed. These two changes are ahead of a large balance update pass for all heroes which on V.38.3.

The update also comes with a new emote and skins are being added into the loot crates. Here’s the full notes…
