Passive Effect Buffed
"Ming will often find himself standing in front of teammates drawing fire as he buffs them. As such, we've slightly increased the recovery he gets from his Passive to give him a bit more room to breathe in battle."
Reduced the early game bonus to teammates.
"In the early game, Ming can boost his team's effectiveness when linking with allies, creating a whole that is greater than its parts and further magnifying any advantage gained. In order to alleviate this, we've slightly reduced the early game bonus he provides to allies."

Background Story
“The flowers are in bloom, nurtured by artifice.”
A dashing diviner who can see the truth hidden in hexagrams and people's hearts. This strange man appeared in Chang'an one day and made it his home. To the people there, he is known only as the Peony Diviner. They do not know where he came from, but he has the ability to predict the future with incredible accuracy—even the Empress herself has solicited his services. However, talent doesn't necessarily make life in Chang'an easy. A certain judge has been amongst the most suspicious of Ming's motives. Ming's response to all such suspicions is a smile, hidden under which is his true intention: to take back the Great Wall.

He saved him and taught him how to play Weiqi. Swearing vengeance in his heart, he accepted the young man as his apprentice for his own purposes, but never thought the Yaotian Society would become a place to call home. Perhaps when he's gone, the youth can forge his own path in the world of Weiqi.
Even though Ming earned Wu Zetian's favor with his divinations, Di Renjie, Wu Zetian's right-hand man, is not convinced. That's why he keeps a watch on the mysterious diviner at all times.
One, the son of a deposed prince, wants to recapture Chang'an. The other, a mysterious alchemist, plots to regain the Great Wall. The two have made a secretive deal to help each other achieve their aims.
Handpicked by Ming from a hundred orphans, she grew up in the dancing hall. As a member of Ming's Yaotian Society, Gongsun Li travels throughout Chang'an, exploring its secrets, punishing evil, and promoting virtue.
The peerless beauty Yuhuan was an enigma, and the melodious sounds of her lute brought great joy to people. She came to Chang'an at Ming's request and joined his Yaotian Society to explore the hidden secrets of the city.
The feralis attacked the Great Wall, and the Great Wall Guardian Pei Qinhu made haste to Chang'an alone, but as his senior officer had been falsely accused, there was little he could do. Feeling helpless, he joined Ming's Yaotian Society to investigate the truth while carrying out the Society's missions.
