Hou Yi's stable Basic Attack and ability to target multiple enemies at once make it hard for other marksmen to compete with him, so we've lowered the frequency of his Basic Attacks slightly to give his enemies time to catch their breath.

Background Story
“Finally, awake! It's time to hunt!”
Hou Yi is the only heroic marksman in the world to be made an by superbeings and trusted to carry out their will. He was ordered to destroy the Sun Tower as atonement for the superbeings' enslavement of the ferali. In his pursuit of destruction, the power-seeking sharpshooter felt inevitably drawn to the Sun Tower's brilliance and thus absorbed the Wonder's power, which cursed him to a deep slumber. When he woke up, the world was truly Hou Yi's hunting ground.
