THIS IS A BIG PATCH AND WILL BE TWEAKED AS WE GO

GENERAL
===============
- Reduced the amount of lives in Normal difficulty to 4, Hard to 3 and Impossible to 2.
- You now get 1 life for every 5 waves beaten in Normal, 10 waves for hard, 15 waves for Impossible and never for Challenger.
- Entering NG+ no longer adds lives, it instead resets your lives to the baseline, potentially lowering how many lives you have.
- Hero selection times normalized to 60s for all difficulties.
- Fixed wave XP and gold coming in clumps, instead of being consistent per enemy killed.
- Standardized gold rewards across difficulties, certain difficulties gave less or more gold per round.

- Nerfed heroes with an above 80% winrate, buffed heroes with a below 55% winrate

===============
- Base Midas gold gain slightly reduced, you now receive roughly 1-2 gold per hit instead of 4-5 as a Lv.1 itemless hero.
- Increased gold gain from Midas items for every player below 5 and decreased it for every player above 5.
- Midas gold gain scales better with attack damage to make it a viable alternative to attack speed stacking.
- Bloodstone no longer costs health.
- Fixed Bloodstone not providing mana when activated, but mana vamp reduced to 10% of the damage dealt instead of 100%.

===============
- Normalized difficulty across the game, increasing the difficulty of easy waves and making hard waves less spiky in difficulty.
- Round 2, 7, 10, 12, 22 and 34 have been made slightly easier.
- Round 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32 and 35 have been made harder either by number changes, new abilities, or merging the waves to make them more of an endurance run or both.
- Merged certain waves and their rewards together. For example, instead of 4 waves of treants, there is now a single wave of treants. Most if not all of the units still spawn. Total gold earned is the same.
