ITEM CHANGES:

Strange Bedfellows at tier 1 where it would provide a +30% bonus while player B could be offered
Strange Bedfellows at tier 3 where it would provide a +50% bonus.
Likewise, in the same game, player A could be offered
Elusive Targets at tier 2 with a duration of 3s while player B could be offered
Elusive Targets at tier 1 with a duration of 2s. All players will have the same number of Alliance items per tier in their item pool.
