To maintain equality among items, healing effects from healing reduction items will undergo an "Heal Embargo," initially being 50% effective and gradually reaching 100% effectiveness at 25 minutes. 

Shield strength sees a reduction through "Shield Overload," excluding shields from Ultimates.

Champion Cannon

Experience the thrill of the Champion Cannon, a feature exclusive to URF. Launch yourself from a cannon outside the fountain, dealing Magic Damage and knocking up enemies in your chosen area.
