BETA EXPECTATIONS

General

  • Champion Masteries have been added:
  • Players now will gain experience for playing normal matches that will level up your Champion Mastery of the Champion you were playing.
  • Mastery levels go from 1-25.
  • Each mastery level grants you a random card for that Champion, with later levels providing a random Legendary card. Future patches will provide Specialty cards as well.
  • The Home Screen has been updated to include a Profile tab that shows all Champion abilities and Mastery levels. This functionality will continue to evolve and improve over time.
  • In-match chat is now scrollable. Press <Enter> to see the chat box anytime with previous info. Scroll up by using Page Up and Page Down.
  • Practice and Co-op matches have undergone a number of improvements to bot behavior. This functionality will continue to evolve and improve over time.
  • The in-match HUD will now display text at the top of the screen when you are on a Kill Streak or earn a Multi Kill.
  • There is now an ESC menu option to safely leave a Co-Op or Practice match without having to exit the game client.
  • Killing blows play a special kill marker effect on your crosshair.
  • Respawn timers have been increased to 10/15/20s depending on how many gates your team has destroyed.
  • Players can now quick-select cards in-match after leveling up by using the 1-3 keys. The ability to rebind these keys will be provided in a future patch.
  • Siege Engine
  • The starting Health for the Siege Engine has been increased.
  • The Siege Engine and Siege game mode are still being tweaked, but following the feedback we received from Closed Beta 08 we have focused in on the core metrics to ensure that the match lengths tend to average around 15 minutes.
  • Base
  • Inner Gate and Vault Health values have been reduced.
  • First Win of the Day is now available for the Siege queue. Winning your first match of the day in this mode will grant an additional Champion's Chest, meaning players will receive two in total for that match.
  • We will continue to improve the systems for earning chests for playing daily, so stay tuned to future patches.
  • The Quick Challenge feature is now fully functional for those who want to play premade 5-man teams against each other. A party leader of a 5-man group can challenge another party leader who also has 5 members in their group. To challenge:
  • The Quick Challenge feature was meant to be fully function in Closed Beta 08, but unfortunately we found a few issues with the system last patch.
  • Both parties need to be out of match.
  • The syntax is in chat is:
  • /quickchallenge <party_leader_name_being_challenged>
  • The opposing leader will then reply in chat:
  • /quickaccept <party_leader_name_who_challenged_me>
  • For example, HiRezStew challenges Drybear to a Challenge Match:
  • HiRezStew, with 5 members in his party, types:
  • /quickchallenge Drybear
  • Drybear, after being challenged and has 5 members in his party, types:
  • /quickaccept HiRezStew
  • Note: The player names are case-sensitive! Future releases will improve the usability of this system.
  • The maximum in-match level is level 5, meaning players will choose their fifth card and stop leveling.
  • Players will no longer be able to replace their card choices through the match. We experimented with the option to level faster and change your card choices as the match went on, but after your feedback in Closed Beta 08 we have reverted that system.
  • The in-match leveling has been slowed down, meaning it takes longer to reach level 5.
  • The duration at which a player is revealed to all enemy players after firing has been reduced from 1s to 0.5s.
  • When exiting the Settings Menu after making changes, players will now receive an “Apply” warning.
  • The in-match HUD now shows on the top left your teammates' current Health, and if they are dead it will show the time left remaining before they respawn.
  • A much requested feature. We have more plans for displaying this kind of information in-match for future patches.
  • The time it takes before a new Capture Point spawns has been reduced from 30 to 15s, meaning Capture Points now come much faster.
  • After hearing your feedback, we have decreased the down time between Capture Points to increase the pacing of the match. This also will allow less time for teams to recover from point to point, allowing more interesting dynamics in team fights and allow teams who are properly positioning themselves and utilizing strong strategic play to successfully capture points.
  • Fixed an issue where player names in matches were lost when a bot took over after a player left the game or was booted for being AFK.
  • Fixed an issue where the end of match lobby showed negative Experience for co-op and practice matches for level 5+ players. Reminder that Co-Op and Practice matches do not provide rewards including Experience once your account is above level 5.
  • Fixed an issue where gamepads would rumble and the screen would slightly shake when viewing another player firing in death camera.
  • Fixed an issue where the crosshair would sometimes have an extra line element on it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Shader Quality option in the Settings Menu was displaying 5 options instead of the correct 3. Additionally, this setting will now save correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where some effects would not show up correctly on the ground.
  • Fixed an issue where footsteps sounds were sometimes playing twice.
  • Fixed an issue where spamming the Scoreboard and the Champion Summary screens could cause the screens to get stuck.

Maps

  • Added team colored flags and landmarking in Temple Ruins to help indicate which side you are on and what base you are approaching.
  • Reduced the overall size of Temple Ruins and Enchanted Forest. This change is a part of a larger experiment around overall pacing of the game.
  • We are working hard to find the right mixture of design elements on our levels that provide the most exciting combat experience during play. Be sure to give us your feedback on the new Temple Ruins and Enchanted Forest this patch!
  • Various collision issues have been resolved.
  • Fixed an issue where the enemy team's vault was not team colored during gameplay. Note: A known issue is that the end cinematic still always team colors the vault as friendly.
  • Fixed an issue where Evie could use Soar to get out of the spawn rooms prematurely.

Champions - Balance/Updates/Fixes

Champion Barik Icon Barik

Ability Barricade Barricade

  • Reduced duration from 10 to 6s.
  • Reduced Health from 2500 to 2000.

Ability Turret Turret

  • While Barik's main feature is his Turret, we feel that players should be able to choose what playstyle they want to employ with Barik - whether it be Barricade build, Turret build, Weapon build, or anything in between. His Turret has thus been reduced in strength and we will be evaluating the proportions between his Weapon damage output and Turret damage output in future patches.
  • Reduced Attack Speed from 1.2 to 1.4.

Champion Buck Icon Buck

Ability Cataclysm Old Cataclysm

  • Rejoice. Buck can now quietly and discreetly bring back down his Cataclysm when it was placed in a less than desireable location.
  • Now is cancellable by reactivating it.

Ability Heroic Leap Heroic Leap

  • Fixed an issue where the leap would go straight up when you were looking straight down.
  • Fixed an issue where Buck could exit the map.

Champion Evie Icon Evie

Ability Blink Blink

  • No longer caches aim meaning you can continue to aim it up until it fires.
  • Fixed an issue where Evie was able to collect HP Drops while blinking.
  • Fixed an issue where mounting would prevent Blink from going on Cooldown.

Ability Illusion Old Illusion

  • We have heard your feedback on Evie's Illusion gameplay and have reworked how they function. With their Health and Damage coming down, they now serve more as a misdirection tool than a damage tool.
  • Illusions now spawn at the same Health % as Evie at the time of spawning.
  • Illusions now die when Evie does.
  • Reduced damage dealt by illusions from 40 to 25% of Evie's damage.
  • Reduced Health of illusions from 1000 to 650.
  • Fixed an issue where Illusions could spawn using Soar.

Champion Fernando Icon Fernando

Fernando's performance was above average, and players were able to build him both in a tanky manner with added damage. We are working hard to make sure no Champion gets benefits outside of their cards, and have reworked some of Fernando's cards to ensure that he must build damage in order to deal substantial damage and the same can be said about building in a tanky manner. Be sure to continue giving us feedback as we hone in on Champion builds!

  • Increased damage from 50 to 57.

Card Art

  • The following cards have had their art updated:

Cards - Balance/Updates/Fixes

  • General
  • In this patch we have gone through some major overhauls to the card system and how it functions. Firstly, we have added a new rarity which will help focus your in-match build progression. We noticed that having your most influential card, previously the Legendary rarity, at the end of your progression made it hard to pick a build and sticking with it. The Specialty cards now allow you to choose what build you want to go with in the beginning of the match, allowing you to pick cards as you level that are in line with that choice and may amplify the build's strengths. We hope this removes some of the uncertainty with building your Champion in a non-constructed deck format. Additionally, at each level throughout the match players may now only choose from the rarity at that level, regardless of whether or not they have enough cards. We have updated the starting decks to include two of each rarity, even Specialty and Legendary, to make sure everyone has enough choices to make an interesting build from the start. All players will receive the starter cards listed below for free, and we hope that having ten cards instead of seven in the starting collection gives new players the opportunity to explore the card system more fully.
  • A new rarity has been added: Specialty
  • The fifth rarity is called “Specialty” and will be drawn first before any other card. Specialty cards are designed to kick off your match into a specific playstyle, specializing your build in a certain direction.
  • Players may now only draw one rarity per level, and will no longer roll down a rarity if they don't have enough cards to draw. For example, at level 3 if you only have 2 Rare cards in your deck, you will draw 2 Rare cards and be forced to choose one.
  • Starter cards have been increased from 7 to 10 per champion. These will include 2 Common, 2 Rare, 2 Epic, 2 Legendary, and 2 Specialty cards.
  • Many of the cards in the game have changed rarity to be in line with the new system change that rarities are forced per level. This allows us to better tweak the system to prevent overly strong combinations of cards by putting both cards in an equal rarity. Any cards that were removed from the game will be replaced with a Champion's Chest for any player who owned those cards. Since a majority of these cards went up in rarity, most of our early adopters are now proud owners of many rare cards! We want to thank all of our early testers for providing daily feedback and we look forward to hearing from you on the way the card system now functions!
