Mid-Patch Update - May 28
General Changes
Urn spawn time and interval changed from 10/15/20/25/etc to 12/18/24/30/etc
Urn timer now gets frozen with Frozen Shelter
Urn no longer provides the +35% Bullet and Spirit Resist aura for the behind team when it is being carried or dropped. The aura is now only active when it is being deposited.
Urn runner when behind now gains +35% Bullet and Spirit Resist for themselves only
Fixed the trailing team Urn runner's extra sprint bonus not working properly
Urn will do damage to the runner after a team has held it for 30s (was 50s before), however, this timer will freeze while there are enemies within a 40m radius of the urn runner.
Urn will now always add at least 2s to the team 30s held timer limit anytime it is picked up, even if it is instantly dropped
You are no longer prevented from picking up the urn for 12s after it is dropped after the previous 50s team held timer
The conditions for when the Urn decides to run back home have been reworked. The Urn will now stay in place on the ground as long as there are enemies in a 40m radius (enemies of the last person to have dropped or fumbled the Urn). If there are no enemies, then the Urn will wait up to 13s if there is a friendly player in a 40m radius.
If the Urn held timer is over 45s (keeping in mind this timer is frozen if there are nearby enemies), the next time it is dropped it will immediately run back home if there are no nearby enemies.
Parrying a trooper no longer resets your parry cooldown (however it won't end your parry early like a hero hit does)
Parrying a trooper now stuns the trooper

We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some.
Primary Rules:
To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up.
The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map.
Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors (3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored).
While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer.
If the urn is Favored or Unfavored (in a comeback state), then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited.
Other Details:
After 35s (aggregate time held per team), the carrier will start taking 5% Max HP damage per second (previously was 45s and 0.15% Max HP damage).
Urn damage is lethal
Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.
No longer silences you while carrying. You are still disarmed and movement silenced.
No longer grants +30% Bullet and Spirit Resist while carrying it
Area around deposting the urn is revealed (urn runner is also revealed as usual)
The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same (+15% soul difference for the first urn at 10: 00, +10% for all future urns)
Souls are all instant after the deposit is complete
All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.
