^292- ^*Added new ^079Soul Reaper^* Alt Avatar: ^079RoboReaper^*

^717* ^*The warped genius inventor who is creating robotic versions of Hellbourne
daemons has designed a mechanical harvester of souls in RoboReaper. Equipped with
cutting-edge radar to locate living souls, RoboReaper uses advanced algorithms to
judge their worth and withering attacks to destroy the living vessels. What the
Hellbourne genius will do with all those collected souls, no one knows...
^717* ^*Releases 11/6/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Master of Arms^* Alt Avatar: ^079Master of Cybernetics^*

^717* ^*Giving up his body for the sake of the Legion, Master of Arms has fitted
himself with the most advanced cybernetic bodysuit the Blacksmiths were able to
construct. 50% human, 50% robot, and 100% ready to melt the Hellbourne ranks with a
barrage computer-aided of weaponry, the Master of Cybernetics is a deadly foe with
all the skills of a mercenary soldier and all the power of a nuclear reactor.
^717* ^*Releases 11/6/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Moon Queen^* Alt Avatar: ^079Eclipse^*

^717* ^*A ruler of distant galaxies and a jaw-dropping beauty in all of them,
Eclipse is a stunning example of alien breeding and near-utopian culture. Having
been in contact with humans before the Fall of Man through technology like
Gundromeda, she recognizes the existential threat that the Hellbourne daemons and
spirits now pose to regions beyond Newerth and its galaxy, and joins the fight to
rid them from the known universe.
^717* ^*Releases 11/8/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Parasite^* Alt Avatar: ^079NanoParasite^*

^717* ^*The mysterious Hellbourne inventor has outdone himself this time; just ask
him. His NanoParasite is built entirely using nanotechnology and is programmed with
the sole purpose of infecting Legion heroes with a potent virus to spread its vile
presence across Newerth.
^717* ^*Releases 11/13/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Armadon^* Alt Avatar: ^079Robodon^*

^717* ^*Building upon the strength and durability of the slow-witted Armadon was
not an easy task, but increasing his intelligence was a much more realistic goal.
Stuffed to the brim with a phalanx of missiles and equipped with oil pumps for
lubrication of his massive limbs, the Robodon is an industrial miracle, showcasing
both the defensive and offensive capabilities of the Legion's robotic engineering
prowess.
^717* ^*Releases 11/13/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Rally^* Alt Avatar: ^079Bogatyr^*

^717* ^*No greater glory exists for the wandering Bogatyr than helping those who
cannot help themselves. His treasure lies not in the physical riches that he could
have for his heroic deeds-and in fact, he detests the thought of helping the well-
off for political or capital gain-but in the virtue of selflessness through battle.
He is a symbol of pride, respect, and leadership.
^717* ^*Releases 11/15/2013
^970== New Map & Mode: Rift Wars Beta ==^*
^292- ^*^995Our brave heroes must venture into the alien realm of the Great Rift to
close the portal that is spewing apocalyptic creatures across Newerth. The Great
Rift has its own chaotic reality, however, and each warrior will possess an ever-
shifting array of abilities. Prepare for countless opportunities to showcase your
skills and non-stop OMG anarchy!^*
^292- ^*^428Custom-made Mode that creates a totally different experience every time
you play^*
^717* ^*Everyone picks one hero each. This will be the in-game hero
^717* ^*Everyone then picks two heroes each for the ability shuffle. All heroes are
enabled for this phase, and each hero can only be selected once per game
^717* ^*When the game starts, every player gets four random abilities from the
entire pool of shuffle-picked heroes
^717* ^*When a player dies, they get four new random abilities from the entire pool
of shuffle-picked heroes
^717* ^*^995This is a Beta release because we want to bring this great experience
to all of our players as soon as possible. We will continue to improve the mode,
fix bugs, and bring everyone a bigger and better experience.^*
^717* ^*For more information please see the forums
^292- ^*^428Amulet of Rebirth added as a new ability to every hero in a Rift Wars
game^*
^717* ^*You can use the Amulet of Rebirth to re-random all of your abilities while
ingame
^717* ^*Using the Amulet costs a small amount of Goblin Coins (NOT gold from
killing creeps)
^717* ^*You can only re-random your ability in your team's Well.
^717* ^*You can earn a free use of the Amulet by playing Rift Wars games
^292- ^*^428Grimm's Crossing is back and better than ever!^*

^717* ^*Grimm's has been re-textured and touched up to be used for the Rift Wars
^717* ^*Players on the map have been increased from 3v3 to 5v5
^292- ^*^428Rift Wars added to Matchmaking^*

^717* ^*Stats are not recorded for this mode other than the "Games Played" and
"Leaves"
^970Version 3.2.6^*
-------------
^292- ^*Added new ^079Grinex^* Alt Avatar: ^079Cyber Steel Grinex^*

^717* ^*A mysterious mad inventor is creating robotic versions of Hellbourne
daemons, and one of his proudest designs is ^079Cyber Steel Grinex^*, a perfect
improvement upon the original, flawed creature from the Rift. When ^079Cyber Steel
Grinex^* dominates the battlefield, all of Newerth will recognize the genius and
fervor inherent in the design.
^717* ^*Releases 10/23/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Draconis^* Alt Avatar: ^079Mecha Draconis^*

^717* ^*An ambitious move by the Legion to combine the power of the ancient
protector ^079Draconis^* with forgotten technology that once wrought destruction
upon an entire generation has resulted in a mechanical wyvern so sleek and deadly
that obtaining a piece of his body is even more valuable than the treasure
^079Draconis^* once protected.
^717* ^*Releases 10/23/2013
^292- ^*Added an upgrade to ^428Taunt^*: ^428Super Taunt^*

^717* ^*Use the Super Taunt like kryptonite to utterly demolish your opponent. And
his support. And his buddy who went mid. And the jungler. And then him again.
Because when you're this good, "super" is the only way to describe your skill.
^717* ^*If you have the ^428Super Taunt^* upgrade, the Taunt ability is refreshed
when you kill someone you have Taunted
^717* ^*^428Super Taunt^* can only be purchased through Plinko Ticket Redemption.
^717* ^*Releases 10/23/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Behemoth^* Alt Avatar: ^079Basher Behemoth^*

^717* ^*The United States World Series is in full swing, and ^079Basher Behemoth^*
is ready to sock a few Hellbourne dingers out of the park. No performance enhancing
drugs here, unless you count ^090Frostfield Plate^* and a ^090Behemoth's Heart^*.
^717* ^*Releases 10/25/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Amun-Ra^* Alt Avatar: ^079RoboRa^*

^717* ^*^079RoboRa^* may be the unknown Hellbourne inventor's most nefarious
creation. This mechanical monster is powered by solar energy, harnessing the gift
of Sol and using it against those who worship him.
^717* ^*Releases 10/30/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Nomad^* Alt Avatar: ^079Exterminator Nomad^*

^717* ^*A relic of the genocides that occurred during the scientific enlightenment
before the Fall of Man, the ^079Exterminator Nomad^* was sent on roaming missions
by the government to infiltrate underground resistance camps and exterminate them
one by one. Once adept at combing large areas of urban decay without rest, the
robotic body of this ancient warrior has been almost perfectly preserved, resting
in Tork the Engineer's cellar until his circuitry could be understood and
reconnected.
^717* ^*Releases 10/30/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^428Taunt^*: ^428Rainbow Taunt^*

^717* ^*What better way to embarrass your enemies than to kill them with kindness?
Show your true colors when this fabulous beast struts onto the battlefield, loud
and proud.
^717* ^*Releases 11/1/2013
^970== General ==^*
^292- ^*^428Halloween has come to Newerth once again!^*
^292- ^*^090Logger's Hatchet^* no longer deals increased damage to allied creeps

^292- ^*^090Logger's Hatchet^* can no longer be thrown at Bosses
^292- ^*^090Logger's Hatchet^* now deals the correct amount of damage to Mechanical
units when thrown
^717* ^*Was dealing 100% of your attack damage when it should have been dealing 50%
against Mechanical units
^970== Bug Fixes and Optimizations ==^*
^292- ^*Ancient Creeps will now be able to attack Lane Creeps that are player
controlled
^292- ^*^079Circe^*, ^079Empath^*, ^079Fayde^*, ^079Gemini^*, ^079Grinex^*,
^079Kinesis^*, and ^079Parasite^* will now correctly interact with morphs such as
^079Dark Lady's^* ^256Cover of Darkness^*
^717* ^*This bug caused units to sometimes be unselectable
^292- ^*Quarterback Blitz^*: ^256Blitzkrieg^* now correctly stuns

^292- ^*Zephyr: ^256Cyclones^* will no longer go up to 16 in number from using
^256Typhoon^*
^292- ^*^428Plinko^*: If you exit plinko mid-drop it will now resume the drop when
you reopen it
^292- ^*^428Plinko^*: Fixed sound issues
^292- ^*Fixed blinking on Ability cooldowns in the spectator UI

^292- ^*Fixed the close buttons on notifications not working correctly
^970Version 3.2.5^*
-------------
^970== General ==^*
^428Plinko^*
^820+ ^*^995Stop by Merrick's shop and test your chances with his new game! Use
gold or 'tickets' to drop a chip for a chance to win some great prizes.^*
^292- ^*The outcome of Plinko drops are randomly determined. On average value of
prizes won will exceed the gold cost of playing the game
^428Observatory^*
^820+ ^*^995The Observatory has provided an unnecessary advantage to the Hellbourne
team, allowing purchases from middle lane. The addition of Dust of Revelation is a
quality of life change that allows for an additional avenue of countering invisible
heroes that previously existed exclusively with transportation of the courier.^*
^292- ^*Added ^090Dust of Revelation^* to the shop
^292- ^*Reduced the purchasing range of the Hellbourne Observatory from 500 to 370
^292- ^*^428Added new Announcer Pack: Samuel L. Jackson Pack^*

^717* ^*We are honored and beyond excited to announce the release of the Samuel L.
Jackson Announcer Pack! Let the rest of Newerth hear just how much of a BAMF you
are with custom lines from the baddest man on the planet, like "Welcome to Newerth,
motherf*cker!"
^717* ^*Releases 10/9/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Keeper of the Forest^* Alt Avatar: ^079Willow Keeper^*
^717* ^*The ^079Willow Keeper^* is an impressive sight to behold: a wise and
grizzled old treant rumored to be one of the first offspring from the World Tree.
Having survived in some of the harshest environments throughout time, from the
waterless Savannahs to the life-rotting Rulian Marsh, his durability will surely be
a boon to the defenses of the Legion soldiers, beasts, and flora.
^717* ^*Releases 10/11/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Andromeda^* Alt Avatar: ^079Gundromeda^*

^717* ^*After crash-landing in the northern forests of Caldavar, this celestial
maiden was excavated from her crater and brought to the Iron City for the Engineers
to study. While her armor may be dinged up, her CPU remains unharmed and ready to
aid the Legion, both in battle and in understanding the technology of man before
the Fall.
^717* ^*Releases 10/16/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Lodestone^* Alt Avatar: ^079Penitent Lodestone^*

^717* ^*Before the Hellbringers had fully perfected the dark art of imbuing
daemonic contraptions with the souls of the damned, ^079Dr. Repulsor^* took matters
into his own hands with a series of "experiments" that even some Hellbourne would
consider vile. Dissecting captured Legion prisoners and inserting cables into their
bodies fueled the robotic war machines known as ^079Penitent Lodestones^* by way of
pain and suffering, forcing the pilots to willingly subject themselves to war for a
chance to end their constant misery.
^717* ^*Releases 10/16/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Aluna^* Alt Avatar: ^079Steampunk Aluna^*
^717* ^*When it's time to put brass to ass, nobody is better suited for the job
than ^079Steampunk Aluna^*. Fitted with coiled stilettos and enough gears to shake
a (pneumatic) stick at, this feisty heroine is ready to prove the Hellbourne threat
is nothing but hot air. The battle for Newerth just got a little steamier,
figuratively and literally.
^717* ^*Releases 10/18/2013
^970== Hero Balance ==^*
^292- ^*Stealth abilities can no longer be purged or transferred
^079Amun-Ra^*
^820+ ^*^995Ra has always been a fan favorite for a lot of players. The lane
presence of Ra combined with allies has become too lethal so we're toning down his
burst damage. To compensate, we are allowing Ashes to Ashes to work on creep damage
again, bringing back his ability to jungle efficiently. The increased radius and
removal of attack speed helps refine Ra's focus towards Magic Damage over time.^*
^292- ^*Increased Armor by 1
^292- ^*^256Path of Destruction^*: Reduced damage from 110/180/250/320 to
90/140/190/240
^292- ^*^256Ignite^*: Reduced damage from 80/120/160/200 to 60/100/140/180
^292- ^*^256Ashes to Ashes^*: Now works on creeps again
^292- ^*^256Ashes to Ashes^*: Radius increased from 350 to 400
^292- ^*^256Ashes to Ashes^*: removed attack speed
^079Aluna^*
^820+ ^*^995Power Throw is individually a strong ability. Rather than reducing its
high damage, we've increased the mana cost instead to bring it more in line with
other nukes.^*
^292- ^*^256Power Throw^*: Increased mana from 100/110/120/130 to 110/120/130/140
^079Behemoth^*
^820+ ^*^995Behemoth has always been an iconic wrecking bomb with a portal key. We
feel it is time to bring back some of his old strengths by alleviating some of his
mana cost issues and putting a larger emphasis on his reward for Shockwave.^*
^292- ^*Increased starting Intelligence from 16 to 17
^292- ^*Increased Intelligence gain per level from 1.8 to 2.0
^292- ^*^256Fissure^*: Mana Cost lowered from 125,140,155,170 to 120,130,140,150
^292- ^*^256Shockwave^*: Increases the radius from 500 to 600
^292- ^*^256Shockwave^*: Increases the bonus radius per unit from 500 to 600
^292- ^*^256Shockwave^*: Cooldown lowered from 150,130,110 to 130,120,110
^079Bombardier^*
^820+ ^*^995Boom Dust has always felt awkward with the range being significantly
less than attack range. While we don't want it to be free damage on every auto
attack, we are increasing the range to feel much better in the laning phase.^*
^292- ^*^256Boom Dust^*: Increased cast range from 500 to 550
^079Cthulhuphant^*
^820+ ^*^995With the emphasis of movement speed from a lot of more recent items and
heroes, we feel Cthuluphant has experienced a large increase in difficulty of
landing trample.^*
^292- ^*^256Trample^*: increased the speed from 700 to 800
^079Dampeer^*
^820+ ^*^995Alongside our direction nerfs to reduce unskilled burst, we're
comfortable with Dampeer's baseline output however we're reducing his maximum
damage potential. These changes will be most noticeable with the maximum number of
essences.^*
^292- ^*^256Terrorize^*: Reduces bonus damage granted from each essence from 30 to
25
^292- ^*^256Vampiric Flight^*: Reduces bonus damage granted from each essence from
20 to 15
^292- ^*^256Vampiric Flight^*: Fixed a string error with the heal per essence from
15 to 5 (gameplay values remain the same)
^292- ^*^256Consume^*: Reduces bonus damage granted from each essence from 40,60,80
to 35,55,75
^079Devourer^*
^820+ ^*^995Devourer's overall damage output has been too high. Devourer's
intention has always been to be a brute force tank with high magic damage output at
the cost of his own safety. Rather than toning down the exciting thins about the
hero, we're reverting the extra physical attack damage granted by his ultimate.^*
^292- ^*^256Devour^*: Removed the increase in attack damage that you gain from
channeling the ultimate.
^079Doctor Repulsor^*
^820+ ^*^995Doctor Repulsor has always experienced some difficulties getting to 6
but still lacked some power even after achieving level 6. We've added a bit of
power to his early game ultimate while keeping his late game power the same.^*
^292- ^*^256Ludicrous Speed^*: Increased the speed from 1250/1875/2500 to
1500/2000/2500
^079Ellonia^*
^820+ ^*^995Ellonia truly shines with her stacks of frost when she can land
consecutive hits of her abilities. While we like the high skill shot play style
that Ellonia provides, we feel that difficulty of landing Glacial Spike was too
high.^*
^292- ^*^256Glacial Spike^*: Increased the speed of the projectile from 1000 to
1100
^292- ^*^256Glacial Spike^*: Increased the touch radius from 90 to 110
^079Engineer^*
^820+ ^*^995Engineer has always been able to engage with very little risk.
Considering the most optimal position of his abilities is still on the other side
of enemies, we wanted to keep the ranges high but decided to tone it down a bit.^*
^292- ^*^256The Keg^*: Lowered cast range from 800 to 750
^292- ^*^256Steam Turret^*: Lowered cast range from 800 to 750
^292- ^*^256Steam Turret^*: Each charge has it's own timer instead of fully
refreshing the slow
^079Glacius^*
^820+ ^*^995Tundra Blast's cast range combined with it's radius has allowed for
some incredible initiations. We're reducing the range to require Glacius to be more
considerate of his positioning.^*
^292- ^*Tundra Blast^*: Decreased range from 700 to 600
^292- ^*^256Ice Imprisonment^*: Now allows turning
^079Geomancer^*
^820+ ^*^995With the popularity of increase in movement speed items and abilities,
we've found Earth's Grasp to be irrelevant too early in the game. we're increasing
the movement speed require to avoid the damage from Earth's Grasp to keep it
relevant for a longer period in the game.^*
^292- ^*^256Earth's Grasp^*: Increased radius from 180 to 195 (now requires over
390 Movement Speed to avoid)
^079Night Hound^*
^820+ ^*^995Night Hound's new found power from his recent changes to his ultimate
has made him a bit problematic. We appreciate the addition of his new ultimate so
we're taking a look at some of the frustration the hero creates. we're toning down
the disruptive radius of Smoke Bomb in team fights at the later stages without
affecting his early game too much. we're also putting a greater emphasis on the
choice for enemy players to fight the Night Hound head on or flee at the cost of
bonus backstab damage.^*
^292- ^*Magic armor reduced from 5.75 to 5
^292- ^*Agility gain reduced from 2.9 to 2.5
^292- ^*^256Smoke Bomb^*: No longer reduces attack speed
^292- ^*^256Smoke Bomb^*: Radius reduced from 250/275/300/325 to 275
^292- ^*^256Smoke Bomb^*: Cooldown increased from 15 to 30/25/20/15 seconds
^292- ^*^256Pounce^*: Will now always appear between you and the target instead of
always behind the target
^292- ^*^256Invisibility^*: Reduced agility per level from 6/12/18 to 5/10/15
^079Kraken^*
^820+ ^*^995In addition to his recent buffs, we've felt that Kraken could still use
a tiny push. Kraken can now be more aggressive with harass damage in lane with his
splash attack.^*
^292- ^*^256Splash^*: reduced cooldown from 11/10/9/8 to 10/9/8/7
^079Maliken
^820+ ^*^995An old time favorite and an icon in the game, Maliken has fallen off
the charts through time. we're putting emphasis on his concept as a carry with
increased power at high risk, forcing enemies to finish him off at low health or be
punished by his potential.^*
^292- ^*Increases starting strength by 1
^292- ^*^256Hellbourne Zeal^*: increased max charges from 100 to 120
^292- ^*^256Possession^*: Increased fear duration from 1/1.5/2 to 1.5/1.75/2
^292- ^*^256Enchanted Flames^*: Reduces the damage taken on self from 6,9,12,15 to
4,8,12,16
^292- ^*^256Enchanted Flames^*: Increases bonus attack damage from 10,20,30,40 to
12,24,36,48
^079Parasite^*
^820+ ^*^995Draining Venom has been adding a lot of late game damage to Parasite,
allowing him to burst most enemies regardless of the length of the game. Alongside
our directional changes to reduce unskilled burst, we're removing the bonus damage
granted from items and creating more decisions for the Parasite in his item choice
rather than always killing your target with codex.^*
^292- ^*^256Draining Venom^*: No longer works on any items.
^292- ^*^256Face Hug^*: No longer transfers any buffs or debuffs on magic immune
targets. Will still transfer Protective Charm from Jeraziah to self then apply
debuffs.
^079Predator^*
^820+ ^*^995Predator's new found strength from Elder Parasite and reworked Terror
has made him extremely difficult to deal with. We find the changes to Terror to be
more enjoyable than the previous implementation but we feel its about time to tone
it down a bit. we're increasing the counter play around the activation of Terror by
requiring more attacks and reducing his early game stats.^*
^292- ^*Decreased starting strength from 25 to 23
^292- ^*Increased strength gain from 2.4 to 2.5
^292- ^*Movement Speed reduced from 300 to 295
^292- ^*^256Terror^*: Increased the amount of attacks to activate from 3 to 4
^079Prisoner^*
^820+ ^*^995Prisoner is still relatively new and while we don't want to hit him too
hard. We've found that the combination of his tankiness and lethality early game is
too high. Lowering his armor to make him more vulnerable to harass damage and
lowering the impact of Shackled at the early levels. we're refocusing some of the
free activation damage from Prison Break and putting a larger emphasis on the
trigger damage for Prisoner while granting a larger reward for enemy counter
play.^*
^292- ^*Starting Armor lowered from 1.10 to 0.60 (total armor from 3.5 to 3.0)
^292- ^*^256Shackled^*: Slow decreased from 30% to 20,25,30,35%
^292- ^*"Target Closest" activation has been removed
^292- ^*^256Prison Break^*: Initial damage reduced from 150,225,300 to 100,150,200
^292- ^*^256Prison Break^*: Trigger damage increased from 150,200,300 to
200,300,400
^079Puppet Master^*
^820+ ^*^995We feel Puppet Master has fallen behind in his carry potential compared
to some other favorites due to his previous nerfs. Rather than increasing his
already incredibly long disables, we've put a larger emphasis on his WhipLash
allowing him to enjoy the uses of Assassin's Shroud wiping creep waves much earlier
in the game.^*
^292- ^*Increased starting damage by 2
^292- ^*^256Whiplash^*: Reducing charges from 5 to 4
^292- ^*^256Whiplash^*: Increasing critical damage from 1.25,1.5,1.75,2.0 to
1.5,1.75,2.0,2.25
^292- ^*^256Voodoo Puppet^*: Increased damage amplification from the Puppet from
140,160,180% to 150,170,190%
^079Rhapsody^*
^820+ ^*^995Dance Floor has always ideally wanted to be placed on the other side of
the enemy to gain the most benefit. An increase in cast range will feel much better
for Rhapsody when used in combination with Staccato.^*
^292- ^*Increased the cast range of dance floor from 500 to 600. Feels much better
with the use of her stun
^079Riftwalker^*
^820+ ^*^995Riftwalker is perceived as a weaker support in exchange for what she
provides in the later stages of the game being one of the few support initiators.
We've toned down some of her harsh level and gold requirements making it less
punishing to play the support role.^*
^292- ^*Increasing Starting Magic Armor from 5.75 to 6.0
^292- ^*^256Wormhole^*: Lowered the mana cost at all levels from 150/200/250 to
125/175/225
^292- ^*^256Shared Existence^*: Reduces cooldown from 20,16,12,8 to 10
^079Sandwraith^*
^820+ ^*^995We've found Sand Wraith to have a significant increase in strength due
to the recent emphasis on hero bounties and cooldown reductions to Mirage. We like
the opportunity and action that his global presence creates so instead we've
lowered his early game tankiness a bit making him more manageable in lane. Desert's
Curse is also getting a significant decrease in the lingertime putting more meaning
on the placement both for the Sand Wraith and enemies.^*
^292- ^*Reduced starting strength from 19 to 17
^292- ^*^256Desert's Curse^*: Reduced the linger time of the debuff slow from
Desert's Curse from 3 seconds to 1 second.
^079The Madman^*
^820+ ^*^995The cooldown of stalk was initially increased due to the frustration
that The Madman created. With the recent buffs to his counters like Dust of
Revelation, Wards of Sight and Puzzle Box. We are comfortable with a revert to his
previous changes.^*
^292- ^*^256Stalk: Reduced cooldown from 10/9/8/7 to 9/8/7/6
^079Soulstealer^*
^820+ ^*^995SoulStealer, an old time favorite has lost a lot of his appeal. The
recent changes to mitigate his soul loss mechanic we feel was the wrong way to go,
it ended up removing the counter play involved and lost a lot of meaning of the
skill. Instead we're bringing back the risk and reward of the skill and even
putting a greater emphasis on the mechanic. Soulstealer will now be able to reach
higher peaks while also putting more emphasis on his death.^*

through the use of illusions and clone mechanics. Her ultimate allows her to copy
an enemies items and abilities.
^717* ^*^256Entrapment - Target a location to throw an orb in that direction. The
first enemy hero hit by the orb is dealt 60/120/180/240 Magic Damage and

another nearby enemy dealing the same damage and immobilize.
^717* ^*^256Doppelganger - Target a hero to create an illusion of them under your
control for 15/20/25/30 seconds. The Illusion receives 350% damage and deals 33%
damage. If cast upon an enemy, applies a 20% Movement Speed Slow to them for 2
seconds.
^717* ^*^256Deceive - Activate to immediately stealth and leave an illusion behind
for 4/6/8/10 seconds.

channeling completes, you become a copy of the enemy hero including items and
abilities for 15 seconds. While in this form, you deal 70/85/100% damage.

Circe^*
^717* ^*The Deceiver takes many forms, and her appearance known as ^079Poison
Circe^* is rumored to have been born in the Garden of Eden, a land she considered
her own before those two interlopers arrived. Since then her toxic charade has been
the downfall of many utopias.

^292- ^*Added new ^079Circe the Deceiver^* Premium Alt Avatar: ^079Iron Maiden^*
^717* ^*When the ship's wreckage washed ashore on ^079Circe's^* island prison in
the 8th century, the one item that held her fascination seemed to be a sort of man-
sized jail cell lined with iron spikes. She mimicked its form and function and
eagerly awaited the opportunity to enjoy it with a human. The next sailors who set
foot on her sands did not savor it nearly as much as she did.
^717* ^*Releases 9/25/2013
^292- ^*Added new ^079Ophelia^* Ultimate Alt Avatar: ^079Sylvia^*

^717* ^*Daughter of ^079Circe the Deceiver^*, mother of ^079Ophelia^*, and bane of

^717* ^*This crotchety old hermit has spent years away from society, choosing to
pass the days with his tame pet Snotters instead. But now that the Legion and
Hellbourne have refused to stay off his lawn, he's out for payback!

^292- ^*Added new ^079Blacksmith^* Alt Avatar: ^079Ogre Blacksmith^*

^717* ^*Brilliant, but lacking common sense; lazy, but compelled to forge; the
^079Ogre Magi^* is a walking contradiction, and he likes being that way! If he
didn't also hate being that way, of course. Infusing elemental magic into his
hammers, this tiny monster brings the pain to his enemies with a frozen blast. Or a
fiery barrage. Or with a little luck, total annihilation� Not that he believes in
luck, or anything.

^717* ^*Summoned by the same corrupted disciples of Sol that brought ^079Amun-Ra^*

upon those foolish enough to disturb the sandy throne of the sun god, tearing

^717* ^*Reveling in the pools of blood that litter Caldavar's forests,
^079Camazotz^* glides through the brush with a mouth full of fangs and a colony of
hungry bats adorning his wings. Decorated with ancient Mayan markings, this god of

force, replacing their smile with his own.

^717* ^*There are some who consider the various realms of the underworld a
punishment, but not ^079Hel^*. She presides over her beloved deceased souls from
her vast mansions, worshipped by countless servants and proud to be the mistress of
the dead and diseased. She is also relieved her hideous appearance-half beautiful
woman and half decaying crone-draws no attention in the realm of the dead. But that
relief is soon to end, for her father Loki has summoned her to Newerth to bring
about the end of days. At least she will have many more souls to welcome when she
returns home.

-------------
^970== General ==^*
^820+ ^*^995The primary focus of this patch is to continue to diversify our hero
pool, making each hero exciting and different to play. The secondary focus of the
patch is continuing to make Heroes of Newerth the most balanced MOBA in the world
both in the competitive scene and the public scene. ^*
^428Mid Wars^*
^820+ ^*^995The rune spawning in the middle helps to enforce action and overall
more enjoyment in the mode, have a good time! The gold changes to Mid-Wars makes it

The following Heroes are no longer allowed in Tournament Rules games:

^292- ^*^079Artillery^*
^079Accursed^*
^820+ ^*^995Allowing Sear to apply on ability use will no longer force Accursed

auto attacks, his attack range has also been decreased.^*

removed by Physical Immunity

Casting Time

the early levels.^*
^292- ^*^256Willowmaker^*: Increased cooldown from 85/75/65 to 100/85/70
^820+ ^*^995These changes are to address his early game difficulties - being too
fragile - before learning Ludicrous Speed. More durable, faster movement, and
longer vision from Magnetic Contraption all help him.
^292- ^*Starting Strength increased from 17 to 19^*
^292- ^*Base Movement Speed increased from 295 to 305
^292- ^*^256Magnetic Contraption^*: Lifetime increased from 12 to 16 seconds

^079Lord Salforis^*
^820+ ^*^995Focusing Lord Salforis to be a better anti-healer. Mors Certissima will
no longer be hard countered by Magic Armor and also reducing healing on targets.
Dark Lord's Presence will now steal regeneration from targets instead of just
gaining a static amount (you will still steal regeneration from targets that have
Undying). Adjusted some values with Undying for better usability.^*
^292- ^*^256Mors Certissima^*: Health regained by the target decreased from
20/40/60/80 Health over 5 seconds to 20% of damage done over 5 seconds
^292- ^*^256Mors Certissima^*: Now also reduces Healing the target receives by 50%
for 5 seconds
^717* ^*This only affects healing, not Health Regeneration

enemies around you. Instead, it now steals 50% Regeneration from enemies around you
with a max of 127 hp/sec

^292- ^*^256The Undying^*: Increased duration from 10 to 12 seconds

effect has been moved to a ^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade
^292- ^*^256The Undying(SotM)^*: Enslaves the target's soul when they die under the
effects of The Undying. The Soul has 1 charge for every 100 Max Health of the Hero
that died. Each charge grants Salforis 5 damage and 2 Attack Speed. Using the
ability again will consume the charges. Each charge heals you for 50 hit points
(Thus you can heal for half of the target's Max Health)

Cost.^*

^292- ^*^256Battle Experience^*: Removed passive Attack Damage

^820+ ^*^995Getting Manifestation's double-cast at level 11 takes a little too
long, but getting it at level 6 is a little too quick. How about level 8.^*
^292- ^*^256Manifestation^*: Level requirements lowered from 6/11/16 to 4/8/12
^079Salomon^*
^820+ ^*^995Salomon now brings wishes of the Djinn in the form of Wealth, Power,

25/40/55/70 to 35/45/55/65
^079Tempest^*
^820+ ^*^995A hero with a lot of utility that could be tuned down a notch. Removing

^079Tremble^*

^970== General ==^*
^820+ ^*^489In HoN 3.1 - The Runic Shift we changed a monumental number of Heroes
and Items, some of which need continued adjustment. Our internal testing cannot
possibly mirror the sheer number of games, skill differences, and hero combinations
that the community can. We are listening when you bring up potential balance issues
to us. In this patch we are giving minor changes to ^*^079Predator^*^489,
^*^090Elder Parasite^*^489, and the Experience granted from kills. We will continue
to closely monitor the changes from HoN 3.1 - The Runic Shift.^*
^292- ^*^428Hero Kill Changes^*

^820+ ^*^995Static Experience will remain similar to continue to incentivize
ganking, but will take a slight hit to decrease snowballing. Increased gold for
hero kills was not playing a larger role in snowballing, but is actually playing a
larger role in comebacks with the new changes. Area Experience will take a
significant hit in order to tone down the effectiveness of 5 man training, although
this tactic will still be usable.^*
^717* ^*Experience granted per kill was lowered from 100 per level to 90 per level.
This Experience is divided among all nearby players
^717* ^*Unsplit Experience granted per kill was lowered from 12 per level to 6 per
level. This Experience is given to each nearby player
^717* ^*Before with 4 players killing a level 9 hero, each Hero gets:
((100*9)/4)+(12*9)= 333 Experience
^717* ^*After with 4 players killing a level 9 hero, each Hero gets:
((90*9)/4)+(6*9)= 256.5 Experience
^292- ^*^079Predator^*
^820+ ^*^079Predator^* ^995gained a significantly better mana pool due to no longer
needing to cast ^*^256Terror^995. ^*^256Venomous Leap ^995now increases in Mana
Cost to make up for that very large mana pool gain. ^*^256Terror's ^995buff &
debuff will also last slighly less duration to allow enemies a better chance to get
away.^*
^717* ^*^256Venomous Leap^*: Manacost increased from 90 to 90/100/110/120
^717* ^*^256Terror^*: Debuff on enemies duration decreased from 10 to 8 seconds
^717* ^*^256Terror^*: Buff on yourself duration decreased from 4.5 seconds to 3.5
seconds
^292- ^*^090Elder Parasite^*

^820+ ^*^090Elder Parasite's^* ^995offensive side has been on the high end, so
we've toned the Attack Speed back to that of the original ^*^090Elder Parasite
^995by removing 15 from the activation.^*
^717* ^*Attack Speed during activation decreased from 100 to 85

^970HoN 3.1.0.1^*
-------------
^292- ^*Added ^090Lex Talionis^* to Tournament Rules
^970HoN 3.1 - The Runic Shift^*

-------------
^970== General ==^*
^292- ^*^428The Early Access Program has been suspended indefinitely^*

^820+ ^*^995These changes were made in an effort to make one of our most important
pieces of content, ^079Heroes^*^995, become more creative, engaging, and exciting.
While there is no longer a definitive schedule you can still expect to see new (and
better!) Heroes added to the game. Also be on the lookout for more reworks due to
this change in direction.^*
^292- ^*Heroes will no longer be mandatorily created and released every 4 weeks
^717* ^*Heroes are available to everyone immediately upon release
^292- ^*^428Added new Hero^*: ^079Sir Benzington^*

^717* ^*Nimble and deadly, ^079Benzington^* is a highly mobile melee ganking Hero
that also gains increased attack range. ^256Knightfall^* and ^256Joust^* allows for
engagements at incredible distances making ^079Benzington^* an intimidating force
anytime an enemy is spotted.
^717* ^*^256Joust^* - Target a direction to dash forward up to 900 units, passing

through the first enemy Hero hit and stopping. Enemies hit receive 100/170/240/310
Magic Damage and a 0.7 second stun.
^717* ^*^256Royal Stomp^* - Activate to pull all nearby enemies 200/250/300/350
units towards you and reduce enemy Movement Speed by 40% for 2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds.
^717* ^*^256Lance-A-Long^* - Passively increases your Attack Range by
50/100/150/200. Activate to boost your next attack to 428 range and add up to
100/180/260/340 Magic Damage. Your attacks passively build up to 5 charges,
increasing the damage when you activate it.
^717* ^*^256Knightfall^* - Target an enemy at considerable range to leap into the
air and become invulnerable for 3 seconds. When you land, you deal 200/350/500
Magic Damage and apply a 50% tapering slow for 2 seconds in a 400/500/600 radius.
^717* ^*This Hero will be released with 2 avatars. One is a ^079Premium Alt
Avatar^* and the other is introducing a new type of avatar called the ^079Debut
Edition^* (in lieu of the previous exclusive EA Alt Avatar). ^079Debut Edition Alt
Avatars^* are sold for a limited period of time after the release of a hero. They
are not exclusively limited to that period of time and may reappear within the
store at a later time.
^717* ^*Releases 5/3/2013
^292- ^*^428HoN Development Direction Shift^*

^717* ^*^489Recently here at S2 Games we have gone through an internal direction
shift in how we look at Heroes of Newerth. We believe that giving back to the
community is the best way to serve HoN. We are looking to take more risks with our
game through the support of the community; a testament to this is the fact that
most of the changes in this patch have originated or been inspired by community
input. This patch is designed to re-invigorate the game with some much-needed
changes that promote the fast paced, action packed gameplay of Heroes of Newerth.
Look forward to the continued improvement of Heroes of Newerth with the best
possible service we can provide!^*
^292- ^*^428Added a new Rune: Rune of Refreshment^*

^820+ ^*^995The purpose of this rune is to create more contention between the rune
locations while creating more action and movement from Heroes.^*
^717* ^*Spawns at the opposite location and at the same time as the normal Rune
spawn
^717* ^*When picked up, this Rune will restore 135 Health and 70 Mana over 3
seconds. Dispels on damage.
^717* ^*If bottled, refills the ^090Bottle^* to 2/3 full
^717* ^*Will not appear unless a normal Rune would as well
^292- ^*^428New Ingame Radial Menu^*

^820+ ^*^995In looking for ways to increase communication between players on a
team, we found this menu will greatly improve the ability to easily and quickly
communicate during intense action.^*
^717* ^*Accessed by holding ALT and then holding left click on a spot on screen, as
if you were to ping it but holding down both buttons
^717* ^*Easily and very quickly lets a player communicate with the rest of the team
^717* ^*Players can ping map locations, signal other players to retreat, say they
think there is danger, call missing, tell people they are coming to assist, and
more!
^717* ^*You can now mute/ignore allies by right-clicking on their portrait
^717* ^*Muting/Ignoring a player will now hide all pings that player sends
^292- ^*^428Hero Kill Changes^*

^820+ ^*^995Hero kills become much more valuable throughout most stages of the
game. Level 1 Hero kills remain mostly the same but after level 1, experience
granted for early kills is greatly increased. Late game Hero kills give about a 33%
increase in gold. Players will now be encouraged to get killing sprees rather than
discouraged. Teams are now more incentivized to kill static farming Heroes instead
of avoiding them^*.
^717* ^*Increased the gold given per level of a Hero from 5 to 10
^717* ^*Decreased the amount of gold given for kill streaks from 50 to 25
^717* ^*Decreased the gold loss for dying from 30 to 25 per level
^717* ^*Heroes will now be worth more gold depending on their GPM compared to the
average GPM of the game. A Hero can be worth up to 50% more. Kill streak and first
blood are not affected.
^717* ^*Changed experience granted on kills from 100-2300 to 100-2500 (Area
experience when multiple Heroes are around remains unchanged)
^717* ^*A streak will now reduce the gold lost of the streaker by 25 per streak on
his next death
^717* ^*Solo Hero kills will now grant the absence of assist gold to the team
(split four ways)
^292- ^*^428Lane Dynamic^*

^820+ ^*^995Lane pulling used to be mandatory. These changes will still allow a
team to gain an advantage from pulling Neutral creeps but it will no longer become
mandatory in order to compete against another team if they are pulling. This change
does not affect player controlled Neutrals.^*
^717* ^*Melee Lane Creeps increased damage they do to Neutrals from 125% to 150%
^717* ^*Ranged Lane Creeps increased damage they do to Neutrals from 75% to 150%
^717* ^*Uncontrolled Neutral creeps damage reduced to Lane Creeps by roughly 50%
^717* ^*Lane Creeps will no longer be able to be pulled to multiple Neutral camps
^717* ^*When a player takes control of a Lane or Neutral creep, the damage they do
to each other is reverted to the normal values
^292- ^*^428Ancients^*
^820+ ^*^995Making Ancients somewhat harder to kill will increase the length of
time when a team or player can effectively do them. Going this route instead of
reducing their reward still allows ancients to be an effective boost in terms of
gold and experience. The Predasaurs getting more Movement Speed also helps to make
them more of a threat and not as easily kited.^*
^717* ^*^095Predasaur Crusher^*: Movement Speed increased from 300 to 350
^717* ^*^095Predasaur Crusher^*: Armor increased from 4.12 to 8
^717* ^*^095Predasaur^*: Movement Speed increased from 270 to 350
^717* ^*^095Predasaur^*: Health increased from 675 to 800
^717* ^*^095Predasaur^*: Armor increased from 2.94 to 3.5
^717* ^*^095Dragon Master^*: Magic Armor increased from 10 to 12
^717* ^*^095Dragon^*: Magic Armor increased from 5.5 to 8
^292- ^*^428Bosses^*
^820+ ^*^995Due to our past buffs to ^095Kongor^*^995, we are no longer worried
about the extra damage illusions bring to killing this boss. This also fixes the
issue where picking up the Rune of Power in Mid Wars and the other boss instantly
killing your illusions.^*
^717* ^*^095Kongor^*, ^095Transmutanstein^*, and ^095Zorgath^* will no longer
instantly kill illusions that attack them
^292- ^*^428Abilities now show their Mana Costs on the Ability icon^*
^820+ ^*^995After seeing the popularity of a UI modification and consistent
frequency of requests for this feature, we have now made it a part of the standard
UI. Thanks for your input and feedback!^*
^717* ^*This works for split and multi-abilities as well
^970== Heroes ==^*
^292- ^*^995The main focus of the following changes are to promote roaming and
ganking. Some secondary focuses are increasing the viability of more items/Heroes
and making them more enjoyable to play with.^*
^428Added to Tournament Rules^*

^292- ^*^079Oogie^*
^292- ^*^079Solstice^*
^292- ^*^079Pearl^*
^292- ^*^079Grinex^*
^292- ^*^079Lodestone^*
^292- ^*^079Bushwack^*
^079Amun-Ra^*
^820+ ^*^995Draining ^079Ra's^* ^995Mana is no longer a hard counter to
^256Pyroclasmic Rebirth^* ^995but still remains a soft counter. ^256Pyroclasmic
Rebirth^* ^995also has such a huge cooldown that you can rarely get two off when
going from levels 6 to 11. The reduction should help with ^995the feel of not
having an ultimate if it goes off at 6 and also with the viability of the Hero in
competitive play.^*
^292- ^*^256Pyroclasmic Rebirth^*: Cooldown decreased from 300/220/140 to
210/150/90
^292- ^*^256Pyroclasmic Rebirth^*: ^079Ra^* now always revives with 10% Health plus
1% for each 1% Mana he has left up to 50%. Max revive Health is 60%.
^079Armadon^*
^820+ ^*^995Overall this change leaves ^079Armadon^* ^995with a better feel while
playing him and against him. You can no longer get the angle barely wrong or right,
and you no longer ^995have ^995249 damage build up on ^256Armordillo^* ^995only to
get nuked and gain 1 damage from it.^*
^292- ^*^256Armordillo^*: 11.25/22.5/33.75/45% damage reduction now smoothly scales
based off the angle you get hit from 0 to 95 degrees. Damage reduction is
drastically reduced the closer you get to 95 degrees
^292- ^*^256Armordillo^*: Charges are now gained if ^256Armordillo^* reduces damage
and more charges will be gained the closer to your back
^717* ^*Example: 100% charges gained at less than 5 degrees, 95% charges at less
than 15 degrees, down to 0 at 95 degrees
^292- ^*^256Armordillo^*: Charges will now overflow to the next Spine Burst up to
250 damage
^079Artillery^*
^820+ ^*^995This reduces ^256LRM's^* ^995total damage by about 10% late game and
decreases the amount he can constantly use it in the early game, especially with
^079Artillery's^* ^995very low Intelligence. The nerf on ^256Artillery Barrage^*
^995also allows enemies to work around it when it is on cooldown.^*
^292- ^*^256LRM^*: Reduce damage from 15+10/17/24/31% to 15+7/14/21/28%
^292- ^*^256LRM^*: Increased Mana cost from 80/85/90/95 to 80/90/100/110
^292- ^*^256Artillery Barrage^*: Cooldown increased from 90/80/70 to 120/100/80
seconds
^079Blitz^*
^820+ ^*^256Quicken^* ^995now becomes a counter to slows rather than slows
countering ^256Quicken^*.
^292- ^*^256Quicken^*: Movement Speed increased from 100% to 100/150/200/250%
^079Bramble^*
^820+ ^*^995A relatively hard ability to land in the first place and making its
rewards more apparent early seemed very appropriate. This also can allow
^079Bramble^* ^995the ability to go 1 point into ^256Spore Breath^* ^995and max his
other skills for a new and different build.^*
^292- ^*^256Spore Breath^*: Stun duration increased from 1/1.25/1.5/1.75 to 1.75
seconds
^079Defiler^*
^820+ ^*^995Her cast type will now work like many other line skills. This should
help increase her ability to hit ^256Wave of Death^*
^292- ^*^256Wave of Death^*: Cast targeting changed to Target Dual
^079Devourer^*
^820+ ^*^995This will prevent the target from being ^090Tableted^* ^995or affected
by other movement abilities such as ^256Compel^*^995. The ^079Devourer^*
^995himself can still be ^090Tableted^* ^995to break ^256Devour^*^995... unless he
is Magic Immune, of course.^*
^292- ^*^256Devour^*: Now Immobilizes the target
^079Draconis^*
^820+ ^*^995Punishes ^079Draconis^* ^995players who waste/use their ultimate at bad
times by lowering its uptime.^*
^292- ^*^256Cataclysmic Assault^*: Cooldown increased from 60/45/30 to 75/60/45
seconds
^820+ ^*^995You are no longer required to drink! This will make the Hero less
tedious and more fun to play. This also allows him to retain more Mana or burst
heal, making it a decent buff.^*
^292- ^*^256Drink^*: Reduced Mana cost from 50 to 35/40/45/50
^292- ^*^256Drink^*: Reworked to now passively give charges up to 3/5/7/9 and gives
one charge every 4.5/4/3.5/3 seconds
^292- ^*^256Drink^*: ^256Drink^* can now be activated to channel (drink) all
charges for 25 Health per charge
^079Engineer^*
^820+ ^*^995This will allow Heroes with Magic Immune spells to no longer have to
pick up ^090Shrunken Heads^* ^995in order to pass through ^256Energy Field^*^995.^*
^292- ^*^256Energy Field^*: Fence no longer works on any Magic Immune target
instead of just ^090Shrunken Head^*
^717* ^*Still dispels ^256Protective Charm^*
^079Electrician^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows ^256Cleansing Shock^* ^995to have more uses in countering other
Heroes.^*
^292- ^*^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade: Once again causes the shock effect to
chain to 2 nearby targets
^717* ^*Chains to allies if you target an ally and enemies if you target an enemy
^079Ellonia^*
^820+ ^*^995Reducing the high Mana usage the Hero currently has. Increased stun
range in order to fit her other long range skills and allow ^079Ellonia^* ^995to
make better use of it.^*
^292- ^*^256Frigid Field^*: Mana cost reduced from 70/80/90/100 to 75 at all levels
^292- ^*^256Flash Freeze^*: Cast range increased from 500 to 500/550/600/650
^292- ^*^256Absolute Zero^*: Mana cost decreased from 150/250/350 to 150/200/250
^079Fayde^*
^820+ ^*^995Slow no longer goes through Magic Immunity. ^079Fayde^* ^995didn't need
any other adjustments after the changes to ^090Revelation Wards^*^995, ^090Bound
Eye^*^995, and ^090Puzzlebox^*^995.^*
^292- ^*^256Deep Shadows^*: No longer Superior Magic
^079Flint Beastwood^*
^820+ ^*^995Bringing back one of the most famous carry Heroes in the game by
allowing his laning phase to have more presence.^*
^292- ^*Starting intelligence increased from 15 to 17
^292- ^*^256Explosive Flare^*: Slow increased from 14/18/22/26% to 15/20/25/30%
^292- ^*^256Hollowpoint Shells^*: Chance to proc increased from 25/30/35/40% to 40%
^292- ^*^256Hollowpoint Shells^*: Damage bonus increased from 20/30/40/50 to
15/30/45/60
^292- ^*^256Money Shot^*: Range increased from 1500/2000/2500 to 2000/2250/2500
^292- ^*^256Money Shot^*: Break range increased from 1800/2300/2800 to
2300/2550/2800
^079Gauntlet^*
^820+ ^*^995Increasing the viability of ^256Grapple^*^995. ^079Gauntlet^* ^995will
no longer become very ineffective as the game gets past the laning phase.^*
^292- ^*^256Grapple^*: Increased travel distance from 800 to 800/900/1000/1100
^292- ^*^256Grapple^*: Decreased fly distance from 800/950/1100/1250 to
800/900/1000/1100
^079Gemini^*
^820+ ^*^995Remade ^079Gemini's^* ^995third skill, which will now improve with your
stats! A percentage of these bonuses will also apply to ^256Fire and Ice^*^995.^*
^292- ^*^256Twin Strike^* reworked into ^256Elemental Force^*
^717* ^*^256Elemental Force^*: Gains up to 1 Armor Penetration for every
16/14/12/10 points of Strength
^717* ^*^256Elemental Force^*: Gains 1 Movement Speed for every 5/4/3/2 points of
Agility
^717* ^*^256Elemental Force^*: Gains 1 Cast Speed for every 4/3/2/1 points of
Intelligence
^717* ^*^256Fire and Ice^*: Each dog gains 60% of the bonuses of Elemental Force
^079Geomancer^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows for a more consistent feel when placing ^256Crystal Field^*^995
and becomes more reliable in the early levels.^*
^292- ^*^256Crystal Field^*: Delay normalized from 3/2.75/2.5 to 2.5 at all levels
^292- ^*^256Crystal Field^*: Radius increased from 300 at all levels to 350
^079Gladiator^*
^820+ ^*^995Allowing ^079Gladiator^* ^995a better lane presence to compete against
other solo laners.^*
^292- ^*^256Flagellation^*: Cooldown reduced from 16/12/8/4 to 10/8/6/4
^079Gunblade^*
^820+ ^*^256Grappling Shot^* ^995is much more usable in the early levels while also
lasting long enough for ^079Gunblade^* ^995to get the full effects. ^256Crippling
Slugs^* ^995will now hit mechanical units as well.^*
^292- ^*^256Crippling Slugs^*: Now damages catapults
^292- ^*^256Grappling Shot^*: Range increased from 500/600/700 to 600/650/700
^292- ^*^256Grappling Shot^*: Armor Debuff increased from 5 to 8 seconds
^079Hellbringer^*
^820+ ^*^079Hellbringer^* ^995will have a much better uptime on his disable.
^256Life Void^* ^995in the early levels will now combo much better with ^256Death
Boil^*^995. ^256Malphas^* ^995uptime can now compare with many other ultimates in
the game as it is mainly used as a counter pick and it is no longer hard countered
by ^090Nullfire Blade^* ^995since you have 3.^*
^292- ^*^256Unholy Shackles^*: Cooldown reduced from 15 to 12 seconds
^292- ^*^256Life Void^*: Duration increased from 5.5/7/8.5/10 to 7/8/9/10 seconds
^292- ^*^256Summon Malphas^*: Cooldown lowered from 160/150/140 to 160/140/120
seconds
^292- ^*^256Summon Malphas^*: Increased the amount of Malphas Demons summoned from
1 to 1/2/3
^717* ^*Stats of ^256Malphas^* are changed to be slightly higher than an old level
1 ^256Malphas^*
^717* ^*Different ^256Malphas Demons'^* abilities now stack with each other
(Example: ^256Immolation^*)
^079Keeper of the Forest^*

^820+ ^*^995Reduced ^079Keeper's^*^995 effective health against Physical attacks to
make him a little easier to kill. Also gave ^256Nature's Veil^*^995 a fade time so
the enemy can react better to it and won't miss attacks as often in lane.
^256Root^* ^995having the higher cooldown will force ^079Keeper^*^995 to think a
little bit more before using it whenever late game.^*
^292- ^*Agility Gain lowered from 2.0 to 1.7
^292- ^*^256Nature's Veil^*: Reduced Armor gain from 6/8/10/12 to 4/6/8/10
^292- ^*^256Nature's Veil^*: Now has a .25 second fade time before stealth
^292- ^*^256Root^*: Cooldown increased from 120/110/100 to 120 seconds
^079Kraken^*
^820+ ^*^995Giving Kraken a little of his power back while also allowing him to
have a better chance to cast all three abilities at level 6. The Intelligence buff
is larger than it appears to be. Try it out!^*
^292- ^*Starting Armor increased from 2.1 to 3.1
^292- ^*Intelligence gain per level increased from 1.7 to 2.0
^292- ^*^256Splash^*: Damage increased from 20/40/60/80 to 25/45/65/85
^079Lodestone^*
^820+ ^*^995One more notch down for ^079Lodestone^* ^995and should help keep him
from comboing as much in the early game.^*
^292- ^*^256Shatterstorm^*: Cooldown increased from 80/70/60 to 100/80/60
^079Madman^*
^820+ ^*^995This rework allows ^079Madman^* ^995to effectively get 54% more damage.
Also fits with ^256Berserk^*^995, giving him increased attack speed. This allows
^079Madman^*^995 to really be able to focus down and kill a single target faster
and more consistently. This buff also allows ^079Madman^* ^995to go
^090Riftshards^* ^995and really be a force to reckon with for DPS.^*
^292- ^*^256Gash^*: Adds 6/7/8/9% bonus damage per attack on a target up to 3/4/5/6
times
^292- ^*^256Gash^*: No longer gives Critical Strike chance
^079Monarch^*
^820+ ^*^256Noxious Cloud^* ^995used to give 800 Clearvision. Some of that is given
back in a smaller radius. ^256Cleansing Wind^* ^995is now MUCH more usable and
consistent. She can now be a more usable counter pick in lineups.^*
^292- ^*^256Noxious Cloud^*: Now grants 400 radius Clearvison around itself
^292- ^*^256Cleansing Wind^*: Now starts 350 units behind ^079Monarch^* and travels
through her to the target location
^292- ^*^256Cleansing Wind^*: Increased radius from 150 to 175/200/225
^079Moon Queen^*
^820+ ^*^995Tweaked ^256Moon Beam^* ^995in Mana cost and stun duration in order to
take down some of her previously increased early laning presence. Also made her
less of a base demolisher and allow teams to better spread against her ^256Multi-
strike^*^995.^*
^292- ^*^256Moon Beam^*: Increased Mana cost from 90/100/110/120 to 120
^292- ^*^256Moon Beam^*: Reduced stun duration from 1 to 0.7/0.8/0.9/1 second
^292- ^*^256Multi-strike^*: Reduced bounce range from 500 to 450
^079Moraxus^*
^820+ ^*^995Giving his tankiness more of a direction against Physical instead of
Magic, allowing teams to have an easier time handling ^256Matraxe^*^995.^*
^292- ^*Magic Armor reduced from 5 to 4.5
^079Myrmidon^*
^820+ ^*^995Carrying with ^079Myrmidon^* ^995is now a real thing! Get your
^079Carridon^* ^995on!^*
^292- ^*^256Forced Evolution^*: ^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade added
^292- ^*^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade: On attack, now deals Magic damage and
slows in a 250 radius. Increases damage from 125/175/225 to 175/225/275
^079Night Hound^*
^820+ ^*^256Invisibility^*^995 is no longer 100% countered by true vision. Now he
gets an edge that he won't lose in every competitive game.^*
^292- ^*^256Invisibility^*: Passively grants 6/12/18 Agility
^292- ^*^256Invisibility^*: Fade time decreased from 3/2.5/1.5 to 2.5/2/1.5 seconds
^079Nomad^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows enemies to work around ^256Edge Counter^*^995 a little better
with the reduction to uptime.^*
^292- ^*^256Edge Counter^*: Cooldown increased from 60/45/30 to 60/50/40 seconds
^079Oogie^*
^820+ ^*^995This is more of a change towards ^090Ghost Marchers^*^995. ^079Oogie^*
^995with ^090Steamboots^* ^995will still move about as fast while ^079Oogie^*
^995with ^090Ghost Marchers^*^995 will no longer be so close to Haste speed.^*
^292- ^*^256Conflagrate^*: Movement Speed bonus changed from a flat 20/40/60/80 to
a 5/10/15/20% bonus Movement Speed
^079Ophelia^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows teams to have more of a chance to stop her pushes without
needing tons of area damage. Also allows teams a better time frame to purge
^256Judgement^*^995 off Heroes or to kill them.^*
^292- ^*^256Command^*: Bonus Health given to minions lowered from 75/150/225/300 to
40/120/160/200
^292- ^*^256Ophelia's Judgment^*: Time it takes to teleport an ally back to the
fountain increased from 6/5/4/3 seconds to 5.5/5/4.5/4 seconds
^292- ^*^256Ophelia's Touch^*: No longer heals ^095Neutrals^* to full. Instead, it
heals triple the amount (600/900/1200)
^079Pandamonium^*
by other movement abilities such as ^256Compel^*^995. ^079Pandamonium^* ^995himself
can still be ^090Tableted^* ^995to break ^256Face Smash^*^995... unless he is Magic
Immune, of course.^*
^292- ^*^256Face Smash^*: Now Immobilizes the target
^079Pharaoh^*
^820+ ^*^995We removed ^079Pharaoh's^* ^995ability to prevent neutrals from
spawning because of his ability to do it easily from anywhere on the map and no one
having the ability to stop it. It was there to prevent ^079Pharaoh^* ^995from
stacking camps but it is viewed that free stacking compared to free preventing is
the lesser of two evils.^*
^292- ^*^256Tormented Soul^*: The vision no longer prevents ^095Neutrals^* from
spawning
^079Pearl^*
^820+ ^*^995A slight tone down of the ^079Pearl's^* ^995pushing ability.^*
^292- ^*^256Whirlbubble^*: Radius lowered from 300 to 275
^292- ^*^256Preservation^*: Duration lowered from 8/10/12 to 7/8.5/10 seconds
^079Pebbles^*
^820+ ^*^995Something a little fun and also can be very viable with
^090Spellshards^* ^995builds and/or new ^090Restoration Stone^* ^995builds. Enjoy!
^*
^292- ^*^256Enlarge^*: ^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade added
^292- ^*^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade: Turns ^256Enlarge^* into ^256Group
Chuck^* and grants it the ability to ^256Chuck^* up the 3 targets, dealing damage
based on the level of ^256Chuck^*
^717* ^*Shares a cooldown with ^256Chuck^*
^079Predator^*
^820+ ^*^995This change allows ^079Predator^* ^995to spread ^256Terror^* ^995more
consistantly and more often while giving his enemies a way to deal with the
ability.^*
^292- ^*^256Terror^*: Now passive
^717* ^*After attacking the same target 3 times, that target gets -2/4/6 Armor for
10 seconds
^717* ^*Allies who attack that target gain 20/40/60 Attack speed and 15% Movement
Speed for 4.5 seconds
^079Puppet Master^*
^820+ ^*^995True to its name, ^256Voodoo Puppet^* ^995really does function like a
voodoo doll now, transferring any negative effects like DoTs, Stuns, and other
disables to the afflicted player. ^079Puppet^* ^995can also use his ^256Puppeteer's
Hold^* ^995and ^256Puppet Show^* ^995on the ^256Voodoo Puppet^*^995, which will
also transfer to the target.^*
^292- ^*^256Voodoo Puppet^*: Cooldown reduced from 150 to 150/135/120
^292- ^*^256Voodoo Puppet^*: Debuffs will now also transfer to the target
^717* ^*Using a channel ability such as ^079Devourer's^* ^256Devour^* or
^079Pollywog Priest's^* ^256Tongue Tied^* on the ^256Voodoo Puppet^* will stun the
target for the duration of the channel
^717* ^*Will not stun the target or transfer debuffs to them if they become Magic
Immune while tied to the ^256Voodoo Puppet^*
^079Revenant^*
^820+ ^*^079Revenant^* ^995will now be able to affect the entire ally team!^*
^292- ^*^256Manifestation^*: ^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade added
^292- ^*^090Staff of the Master^* upgrade: Abilities affect two additional targets
^717* ^*Abilities will cast on 3/4/5 targets total
^079Riftwalker^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows a much better feel when used in combination with her other two
skills. No longer feels awkward when trying to land all three.^*
^292- ^*^256Riftburn^*: Cast range increased from 600 to 700
^079Slither^*
^820+ ^*^995Bringing back some of his old lane strength and ability to kill targets
once in a while even when they ^090Homecoming Stone^*^995 out.^*
^292- ^*^256Toxicity^*: Illusions will only apply ^256Toxicity^* for 33% of the
duration
^292- ^*^256Toxicity^*: Reduced Health Regeneration increased from 20/40/60/80% to
30/50/70/90%
^292- ^*^256Toxicity^*: Duration increased from 7 to 8 seconds
^292- ^*^256Toxicity^*: Now decreases Movement Speed by 1.25/2.5/3.75/5%
^079Silhouette^*
^820+ ^*^995Gives ^079Silhouette^* ^995slightly less laning presence in the early
game, while not changing her late game attack speed bonus very much.^*
^292- ^*^256Relentless Salvo^*: Attack Speed bonus decreased from 250/300/350/400%
to 150/200/250/300%
^079Soul Reaper^*
^820+ ^*^256Inhuman Nature^* ^995now has a use when you are at full Mana. Store up
extra charges in order to expend them later or give an ally a burst of Mana!^*
^292- ^*^256Inhuman Nature^*: Can now store up to 10 charges, gaining 1 charge for
each creep killed and 2 for Heroes killed
^717* ^*These charges may be used on self or ally to restore 12/24/36/48 Mana per
charge
^717* ^*May also be right-clicked to put it on autocast. While on autocast, you
will instantly consume charges for yourself and not build up charges
^079Succubus^*
by other movement abilities such as ^256Compel^*^995. ^079Succubus^* ^995herself
can still be ^090Tableted^* ^995to break ^256Succubus' Hold^*^995... unless she is
Magic Immune, of course.^*
^292- ^*^256Succubus' Hold^*: Now Immobilizes the target
^079Swiftblade^*
^820+ ^*^079Swiftblade^* ^995will no longer have his late game severely hurt while
spinning.^*
^292- ^*^256Blade Frenzy^*: No longer disarms or slows ^079Swiftblade's^* attack
speed
^292- ^*^256Blade Frenzy^*: Now will reduce attack damage while spinning by
30/20/10/0%
^717* ^*He still cannot Critical Strike while spinning
^079Tempest^*
^820+ ^*^995Making his ^256Elementals^* ^995comparable to other minions that can't
attack towers.^*
^292- ^*^256Elemental^*: Minions no longer attack Towers when ^079Tempest^* is out
of range
^079Valkyrie^*
^820+ ^*^079Valkyrie's^* ^256Javelin^*^995 not only gets a partial revert to get
some of her power back, but also gets even better by level four. Early levels of
^256Javelin^* ^995will enjoy the benefits of getting longer stuns since they are no
longer handled in segments of 0.5 seconds. ^256Leap^*^995 is more consistent and
reduces some of the feeling of doom when you use your ^256Leap^*^995 once in the
early game.^*
^292- ^*^256Javelin of Light^*: Made the stun increments better from
225/200/175/150 to 200/175/150/125
^292- ^*^256Javelin of Light^*: Stun is now handled dynamically
^717* ^*If you land a level 4 ^256Javelin^* at 225 range you will now get a 0.9
second stun instead of a 0.5 second stun
^292- ^*^256Courageous Leap^*: Cooldown lowered from 40/35/30/20 to 35/30/25/20
^079Vindicator^*
^820+ ^*^995From ^079Vindicator's^* ^995last rework, he was no longer an easy
counter pick but, as expressed by the community, he lost a lot of viability. A
middle ground was found where ^079Vindicator's^* ^995old presence could still be
felt while also making it so he isn't an automatic counter to so many Heroes.^*
^292- ^*Magic Armor increased from 6 to 7
^292- ^*^256Master's Incarnation^*: Reduced Cooldown from 2/1/0/0 to 2/0/0/0
^292- ^*^256Glyph of Silence^* Reworked: On use, drops a Totem at your feet that
will Silence enemies within 800 units of it when they cast spells. Totem takes
2/2/3/3 hits to kill, lasts 8/12/16/20 seconds, and silences for 1.5/2/2/2.5
seconds
^717* ^*^079Vindicator^* still gets 10/20/30/40 Attack Speed passively when
leveling this skill
^079Wildsoul^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows ^079Wildsoul^* ^995to still compete against Heroes at level 3
but makes early lucky roots less devastating.^*
^292- ^*^256Booboo^*: Changed ^256Entangling Claws^* duration on Heroes from 3
seconds to 0/2/2.5/3 seconds
^079Witch Slayer^*
^820+ ^*^995Allows his ^090Staff of the Master^* ^995to have some extra use other
than just damage, especially if they just have ^090Shrunken Head^* ^995with no
Magic Armor. Can't disable him anymore? Well, just shoot him anyway!^*
^292- ^*^256Heavenly Blast^*: ^090Staff of the Master^* updated
^292- ^*^090Staff of the Master^* update: In addition to increasing the damage
done, the upgrade also changes damage type from Magic to Superior Magic
^970== Items ==^*
^428Added to Tournament Rules^*

^292- ^*^090Dawnbringer^*
^292- ^*^090Frozenlight^*
^292- ^*^090Searinglight^*
^292- ^*^090Lightbrand^*
^292- ^*^090Grimoire of Power^*
^090Chests^*
^820+ ^*^995Items that enemies cannot use will be unable to be seen by the enemy
when dropped. This is done in order to help prevent trolling and games being
decided by something so small.^*
^292- ^*Items you own on the ground in a ^090Chest^* are now invisible to the enemy
players
^292- ^*^090Chests^* now have a new larger glow effect to make them easier to spot
^292- ^*^090Chests^* with items owned by your team are now visible through fog at
all times
^428NEW ITEM^*: ^090Lex Talionis^*

^820+ ^*^995Focused more as an offensive support item to help take down 1 enemy
hero. Also makes for one of the few early game items that offers regeneration for
supports. Ganker Heroes may find this item useful as well but the debuff to
yourself hopes to focus it more towards supports wanting to be offensive.^*
^292- ^*New Item added to Supportive
^292- ^*Requires ^090Trinket of Restoration^*, ^090Guardian Ring^*, and a 300 gold
recipe
^292- ^*Can be upgraded 3 times
^292- ^*Passively gives 3/4/5 Armor, 1/2/3 Magic Armor, 2.5/3/3.5 Health
Regeneration
^292- ^*Activate to apply a debuff to yourself and the target enemy that reduces
armor by 3/4/5 and Magic Armor by 1/2/3 for 7 seconds
^292- ^*750 Cast range, 50 Mana cost. Physical cast type
^717* ^*Does not activate ^090Nullstone^*
^090Abyssal Skull^*
^820+ ^*^090Abyssal Skull^* ^995uses ^090Trinket of Restoration^* ^995in the recipe
but never before gained the benefits of that item. Now you get to keep that
Regeneration. The small reduction in damage and Lifesteal is to reduce how
effective this item becomes in the late stages of the game for its cost.^*
^292- ^*Reduced Lifesteal aura from 15% to 12%
^292- ^*Reduced Base Damage increase from 15% to 12%
^292- ^*Now provides 2 Health Regeneration
^090Bottle^*
^820+ ^*^995This change makes bottling a rune much easier and more intuitive to
do.^*
^292- ^*Can now right click Runes to automatically fill your bottle with the Rune
^717* ^*If you already have a Rune bottled, will use the rune normally instead
^717* ^*Will bottle a rune if you right click it regardless of how full the
^090Bottle^* is. Charges left in the ^090Bottle^* are lost
^717* ^*You can bottle a Rune by right clicking it while the ^090Bottle^* is on
cooldown
^090Bound Eye^*
^820+ ^*^995This change will bring back skill and foresight to support players in
the late game both for warding and de-warding. Now that ^090Bound Eye^* ^995is not
the end-all be-all ward clearer, good support players will now be able to shine
over other support players.^*
^292- ^*No longer sees ^090Wards^* by default
^292- ^*Can now be activated to reveal all ^090Wards^* through fog around the user
for 10 seconds, 60 seconds cooldown. Will break invisibility on self when
activated.
^292- ^*Added a visual passive and active effect to the targets possessing
^090Bound Eye^*
^090Courier^*
^820+ ^*^090Courier^* ^995will now be unable to scout for free at the start of the
game and most players will have an easier time killing it. This will also help to
keep the ^090Courier^* ^995from feeding in the late game from just 1 attack.
Because of the ^090Chest^* ^995changes, items that enemies cannot use will be
unable to be seen by them when dropped. This was done in order to help prevent
trolling and games being decided upon something so small.^*
^292- ^*^256Invulnerability^* cooldown increased from 20 seconds to 90 seconds
^292- ^*When the courier gets upgraded to a ^090Flying Courier^* the
^256Invulnerability^* will start on cooldown
^292- ^*If the ^090Courier^* dies, all items will be dropped normally. However,
only consumables and shareable items that are dropped can be seen by enemies. The
rest are invisible to enemies.
^292- ^*The ^090Flying Courier^* now dies in 2 hits by melee Heroes, 3 hits by
ranged Heroes or Towers, and 6 hits from minions.
^820+ ^*^090Dust^* ^995will now have a greater use in the game. Players also now
have a way of finding enemies hiding in the woods now.^*
^292- ^*Reduced cooldown from 60 to 30 seconds
^292- ^*You can see any enemy hit though fog for 3 seconds
^090Elder Parasite^*
^820+ ^*^995Moving ^090Elder Parasite^* ^995from being an extremely niche item and
opening up the amount of Heroes that can use it with the large health boost and no
longer being an attack modifier. ^090Elder Parasite's^* ^995increased strength is
geared towards competing with ^090Shrunken Head^* ^995in terms of viability.^*
^292- ^*Now requires ^090Gloves of the Swift^*, ^090Beastheart^*, and a 400 cost
recipe
^292- ^*Passively gives 250 Health and 15 Attack Speed
^292- ^*Activate to give 20% Lifesteal, 20% Movement Speed, and 100 Attack Speed
for 12 seconds. Applies 15% damage amp to yourself still.
^292- ^*Is now an ^428Activation Modifier^* and cannot be activated while effects
from ^090Shrunken Head^* or ^090Void Talisman^* are active
^292- ^*Removed from Morph Attack and now in Combative shop
^292- ^*No Longer an ^428Attack Modifier^*
^090Hellflower^*
^820+ ^*^995Instead of reducing all of ^090Hellflower's^* ^995benefits to the point
of uselessness, we removed the damage amp in order to keep more lockdown item
choices in the game. Players already have choices for amplifying their damage, but
very few choices in locking down a target.^*
^292- ^*Removed damage amp
^292- ^*Cast range increased from 800 to 900
^292- ^*Increased duration from 4 to 4.5 seconds
^292- ^*Reduced Mana cost from 200 to 150
^090Homecoming Stone^*
^820+ ^*^995Right now, counter teleports happen too fast for a team to viably try
to gank an enemy hero. The increased duration will allow teams a chance to gank
enemies at towers while also still allowing the enemy team a chance to react. The
increased duration also makes it much more viable to run when you see a port
coming, try and port out yourself, or to man up and kill the tower.^*
^292- ^*It now takes 4 seconds to teleport to any level 1 Tower, 3.5 seconds to any
level 2 Tower, and 3 seconds to anything inside your base.
^717* ^*^090Post Haste^* is still a 3 second channel to anything
^292- ^*New effects for the target of a teleport
^717* ^*These effects show how long it will be until the person teleporting in will
appear
^090Nome's Wisdom^*
^820+ ^*^090Nome's^* ^995now becomes an extra choice to get Mana regeneration for
your team and becomes more usable in more situations.^*
^292- ^*50% Mana regeneration is now applied on the aura
^090Post Haste^*
^820+ ^*^995You no longer lose out on the bonus Movement Speed ^090Striders^*
^995gives you when you upgrade to ^090Post Haste^*^995. ^090Post Haste^* ^995now
gives up to 150 total Movement Speed, just like ^090Striders^*^995.^*
^292- ^*Now gains additional +45 Movement Speed over 8 seconds when out of combat
^090Puzzlebox^*
^820+ ^*^995The biggest part of the ^090Puzzlebox^* ^995change comes from the fact
that reveal is now on level 1 and 2. This goes along with the ^090Bound Eye^*
^995change in order to give players another option to clear wards effectively in an
area, but obviously comes at a much greater cost. The rest of the changes help to
remedy how ineffective the combat of level 1 and level 2 ^090Puzzlebox^*
^995minions are in comparison to the level 3 minions.^*
^292- ^*Strength increased from 6/10/14 to 9/12/15
^292- ^*Intelligence changed from 15/21/24 to 15/20/25
^292- ^*^090Puzzlebox Mauler^*: Movement Speed increased from 330/360/390 to
350/370/390
^292- ^*^090Puzzlebox Mauler^*: Damage increased from 21/41/61 to 25/50/75
^292- ^*^090Puzzlebox Mauler^* ^256Manaburn^*: Damage dealt increased from 60% to

^820+ ^*^995Not only will this change open up new Heroes to use ^090Restoration
Stone^*^995, but it will also likely make new Heroes usable due to their abilities
having smaller cooldowns.^*
^292- ^*Cooldown is now based on the cooldown of all abilities/items refreshed plus
30 seconds. Max of 210 second cooldown
^717* ^*Example: ^079Tempest^* uses only his level 1 ^256Elemental Void^* and then
waits 80 seconds (120 seconds left on cooldown). He then uses ^090Portal Key^* (14
second cooldown), ^256Meteor^* (25 second cooldown), and then uses ^090Restoration
Stone^*. ^090Restoration Stone's^* cooldown will then be 120+14+25+30=209 seconds
^090Wards of Revelation^*
^820+ ^*^995The biggest reason for ^090Revelation Wards^* ^995being unavailable at
the start was because of Neutral creep pulling being so strong. ^090Revelation
Wards^* ^995are brought back with the new lane dynamic change since there is no
longer a large enough reason to have them removed. Being worth some gold now helps
with the ward battles.^*
^292- ^*Two can now be purchased at the start of the game
^292- ^*Now worth 25 gold when killed
^292- ^*You can now see the radius around ^095Neutral^* camps that would block

item just as good for the user.^*
^292- ^*Reduced aura Armor from 3 to 2
^292- ^*Passive armor increased by 1
^090Savage Mace^*
^820+ ^*^995Taking the item down slightly in order to give other late game damage
items some presence.^*
^292- ^*Removed attack speed

^292- ^*Added new ^079Parasite^* Alt Avatar: ^079Facehugger^*
^717* ^*There are many among the Hellbourne who keep their distance from the vile
Parasites, and all of the Parasites avoid the ^079Facehuggers^*. These horrors
latch onto Parasite larvae and mutate them into slithering monsters with one
purpose: brutally efficient infestation and control of any living being.

^717* ^*The daemon known as ^079Leper^* was a doctor when the First Corruption

healing oath as he rides his massive vulture infecting and feeding upon the Legion.

^717* ^*Among the ^079Gnarwhal^*, status is determined by how many harpoons a
warrior carries embedded in his hide. When ^079Baaracko^* recruited the fearless
beasts during the Titan's Rebellion, the ^079Gnarwhal^* saw an opportunity for many

^292- ^*Added new Early Access Hero: ^079Lodestone^*

^717* ^*^079Lodestone^* is a melee initiator that can dramatically reduce the
effectiveness of any well-armored hero. His prowess in battle allows him to
increase the damage of his allies as well as his own. However, ^079Lodestone^* is
not without weakness. He can deal massive damage to a single target but damages
himself in the process.

^292- ^*Added new Early Access Hero: ^079Solstice^*

^717* ^*Among the tribes of the moon, there lives an elite caste of warriors. Like
^079Krixi^*, the Moon Queen, these women draw their power from the rays of Lunari.
As children of the Moon Goddess, the rays of Sol burn their flesh and forces them
to construct a vessel to channel Lunari's might during the day. The magicks used
were so potent that only a chosen warrior, born in perfect balance between light
and darkness, could harness its vast power by being forever bonded to her armor.
The armor serves as a disguise to men and beasts who would would take advantage of
her during the day, masking both her power and gender. In the night, the chosen can
retake her true form and strike from the shadows, free from her confining shell. Be
it through strength by day or stealth by night, ^079Solstice^*, the Lady of Lunari,
stands ready to show her enemies what power truly is.
^717* ^*^079Solstice^* changes her role from a more tanky, team-fight presence
during the day, to an agile ganker during the night. Look for ways to setup your
ultimate from outside of enemy's vision range in order to deal the maximum damage!
^292- ^*Added new Limited Edition Early Access ^079Solstice^* Alt Avatar: ^079Mr.
Tickles^*
^717* ^*In the darkened streets of the City of Iron, there are rumors of a killer
stalking the women of Newerth. This insidious predator hides behind a veneer of
gentlemanly graciousness in the evening hours and truly despises the actions that
he must take to quell the horrific urges that tear at the back of his mind. The
promise of relief led the brilliant, deranged man to craft a potion to heal
himself. While it took away the urge to kill, it transformed him into a brute
during the day, desperately striving for acceptance, but attacked by the townsfolk
who see and fear him as a Hellbourne demon. With neither day nor night to bring him
respite all he can do is laugh. And the last things his victims will ever hear is,
"Don't worry, this will just tickle a bit..."
^292- ^*Added new Premium ^079Solstice^* Alt Avatar: ^079Duel^*

^717* ^*The Justicar had tracked the Assassin for weeks and finally had found his
lair. Alone, he should have called for assistance, but he could not risk letting
the demonborn bastard escape yet again. As he entered the building the full moon in
the night sky began to be eclipsed, a once in a millennium event. The Justicar
broke down the door, surprising the brutal killer as he prepared his blade. The
assassin fled for the rooftops to escape, but the lawman bore down on him swiftly.
On the roof of the building they locked into combat. In a fair fight the Justicar
had the advantage of reach and armor and quickly cut the assassin down. He barely
noticed the small nick from the assassin's blade on his cheek. The poison went
quickly to work and although the half-demon lay dieing next to him, the Justicar
fell to his knees, gasping for air. Both warriors fought to hold on to the last
vestiges of life, but it faded from them just as the moon became fully eclipsed. As
their souls sought release at that exact same moment, they became entwined in one
another, and the neither Heaven nor Hell would grant them access. Forced back to
Newerth the found themselves alive once again, but just as their souls had
intertwined, so had their bodies. With the Justicar in charge in the day and the
Assassin at night, they will forever be in conflict, Dual selves locked in an
eternal ^079Duel^*.

^970== Shop & Courier Changes ==^*
^292- ^*^428Intelligent Item Combining added^*

^717* ^*When you buy a recipe item via right-clicking on it or the "purchase
remaining components" button, it will now intelligently combine as it's being
purchased
^717* ^*Example: Your inventory has 5 ^090Minor Totems^* and ^090Marchers^*. You
right click on ^090Ghost Marchers^* and now have ^090Ghost Marchers^* in your
inventory. Before, you would still have ^090Marchers^* in your inventory and now
have 2 ^090Punchdagger^* in your stash
^292- ^*When you buy a ^090Frostwolf Skull^* or ^090Geometer's Bane^* via right-
clicking on it or the "purchase remaining components" button and have a
^090Frostburn^*, it won't buy the ^090Icebrand/Firebrand^* anymore
^717* ^*This was done because ^090Frostburn^* can be disassembled and the
^090Icebrand/Firebrand^* modifiers do not stack
^292- ^*^428Items now combine across both your inventory and stash^*
^717* ^*When you buy a recipe item via right-clicking on it or the "purchase
remaining components" button, it will now look for recipe combinations in both your
inventory and stash (if you have access to it)
^717* ^*Example: Your inventory has 5 ^090Minor Totems^* and ^090Marchers^* with
one ^090Punchdagger^* in your stash. You right click on ^090Ghost Marchers^* and
now have ^090Ghost Marchers^* in your inventory. Before, you would still have
^090Marchers^* in your inventory and 2 ^090Punchdaggers^* in your stash
^292- ^*^428Courier Item Combining improved significantly^*

^717* ^*When a courier delivers items, it now intelligently combines them as
they're being delivered
^717* ^*Example: Your inventory has 5 ^090Minor Totems^* and ^090Marchers^*. The
courier delivers you 2 ^090Punchdaggers^* and you now have ^090Ghost Marchers^* in
your inventory. Before, you would still have ^090Marchers^* in your inventory and
the courier would still have the 2 ^090Punchdaggers^*
^292- ^*^428Item sellback enabled for newly purchased recipe items^*

^717* ^*When a recipe item combines, it inherits the oldest purchase time of its
components, so that you can still sell it for full value after combining. As with
other items, the "recently purchased" flag goes away if the owner dies or if the
item is used
^717* ^*Example: If you buy ^090Ghost Marchers^* all at once, you can sell it back
in full for 15 seconds
^717* ^*Example: If you have ^090Marchers^* in your inventory for 30 seconds, then
upgrade to ^090Ghost Marchers^*, you cannot sell it back for full since the

^970== New Map & Mode: Mid Wars ==^*

Wars!^* The direct result of feedback and input from the HoN community, Mid Wars
takes the most exciting pieces of the HoN experience and distills them into pure
unadulterated fun. Featuring its own standardized rule-set, exclusive Matchmaking
system, and an all new map, Mid Wars brings you everything that you know and love
about HoN and improves the formula with a casual, arcade style experience second to
none. Make no mistake, we think Mid Wars is one of the best maps we have ever made

^292- ^*^428Significant optimizations have been made to the UI. Most of these are
aimed at memory usage and memory management, improving performance, and
stability.^*
^717* ^*These changes reflect dramatic improvements to the core framework of the
game client, resulting in a streamlined end-user experience and reducing the
hardware requirements necessary to Get It HoN!
^717* ^*Memory usage has been dramatically reduced to help alleviate hardware
limitations for players both new and old
^717* ^*All Mods should be disabled once the game has been patched, as they will
not reflect optimizations made to the client and will need to be updated
^292- ^*Fixed a reconnection overwrite issue that caused players disconnected from
a game to lose the ability to reconnect to the server if logged into another
account
^292- ^*Fixed MMR reward issues where players were given more MMR than they should
have been when a teammate disconnects from the game
^292- ^*Fixed time waited calculations to reflect when a group is placed back into
queue

^717* ^*^079Kraken^*
^717* ^*^079Behemoth^*
^717* ^*^079Chipper^*
^717* ^*^079Slither^*
^717* ^*^079Empath^*
^292- ^*Groups with less than 1150 MMR should have an easier time finding a match
now
^292- ^*If a matchmaking game ends prematurely (whether due to an early remake or a
player fails to connect) any groups who were in the match should now be able to re-
queue and leave off at their previous wait time
^717* ^*A message will be broadcast notifying the group when they have been re-
placed into the queue
^292- ^*Made a few changes to how point gain/losses are adjusted for team mates if
there is a leaver on the team, it's now a bit more lenient in terms of what
conditions must be true in order for the team with the disconnected player(s) to
receive an adjustment
^292- ^*Made some adjustments to match fidelity slider, selecting "Fairer Matches"
should now do a bit better job at finding other groups close to the skill range of
the group that selected this option
^292- ^*The UI should now remember the match fidelity slider setting selected when
creating a group and entering the queue
^292- ^*Greatly improved how the game client re-connects to game servers
^717* ^*Players should no longer have to type "Reconnect" on the console or re-
login manually as the client will automatically try to reconnect to the game
server. Players can still reconnect by re-logging or typing reconnect, but they
will no longer have to do this, they can simply wait for the reconnect dialogue to
display
^292- ^*^428Gold gained from creeps and neutrals now normalizes over time^*
^717* ^*An example: Two heroes farm a lane for 20 minutes getting equal creep
kills. Before, their gold values would have differed greatly. Now, they will have
nearly equal amounts of gold.

^292- ^*Fixed Replays
^970Version 2.5.0^*
------------
^717*** ^*With today's patch we want to clarify some confusion regarding why the
highly anticipated version 3.0 of HoN appears to be missing in action. With the
quality of the game at stake during the later stages of development for 3.0, we
realized that all the features we had originally planned for 3.0 wouldn't actually
be ready for release until well into next year.
Rather than compromising our standards of quality and releasing a lackluster

version 3.0 or delaying the patch into oblivion, we decided that we needed to stop
holding back all this great content and bring version 2.5 to life. We hold
ourselves to a higher standard come hell or high water and we know that the HoN
community will support our decision.
There are a plethora of great things coming out today in version 2.5 that we stand
behind in bringing the best gaming experience possible and we thank you for your
patience and commitment. Without further ado, we hope you enjoy 2.5. Game HoN!
^717*** ^*These notes includes the changes from ^9702.3.5^* earlier today

^717* ^*^079Gladiator^*

^292- ^*^428Matchmaking Rework^*

^717* ^*The "Average Wait Time" displayed when waiting for a match should now be
much more accurate

time or a fairer match when queueing for matchmaking. This option can be changed
without leaving the matchmaking queue
^717* ^*Introduced a "Provisional Ranking Period" for new players that will
facilitate adjusting them to their true skill level (whether higher or lower) much
faster than before
^717* ^*Players with team members who have been terminated should lose less points
for a loss, and gain more points for a win
^717* ^*Made numerous changes to the way MMR is calculated such as how many points
players gain or lose each match, how match predictions are calculated between two
potential teams when searching for a matchup, and many other changes to the backend
calculations that should make the MMR progression much more accurate in predicting
and placing a player at their true MMR rating
^717* ^*Optimizations to the matchmaking algorithm that should reduce queue times
across the board
^717* ^*The game lobby and hero select screens now show match gain/loss values with
more precision as it is now possible to gain/lose fractional amounts of MMR
^717* ^*All players will have their Normal and Casual MMR compressed towards 1500.
Take for example a player with Normal MMR of 1700, and Casual MMR of 1600. After
the compression their Normal MMR would become become (1700 + 1500) / 2 = 1600)
while their Casual MMR would become (1600 + 1500) / 2 = 1550
^717* ^*The minimum MMR has been increased from 750 to 1000
^717* ^*See the forums for more information!

== ^970Team Matchmaking^* ==
^292-^* Find matches faster! Boasting arranged-team or solo play, this innovative
and intuitive feature increases the efficiency of game creation by automatically
gathering player statistics from a variety of group sizes, formulating teams, then
matching those teams in as fair a manner as possible. With the ability to customize
game mode, region, and map preferences, as well as group up with players on or off
your friends list, the new Matchmaking will not only make it much faster to find a
game of HoN, but also maximize the fairness and quality of the match.
^292-^* Playing Matchmaking rewards you with valuable Goblin Coins! Check out the
new end-game scorescreen function after a Matchmaking game.
^292-^* Matchmaking will be disabled initially, we'll enable it when we're ready to
begin public testing on it this week. Once enabled, expect it to have cycles of
going up and down as we gather data, iterate, improve the algorithms, and fix any
bugs.
== ^970Cosmetic Store^* ==
^292-^* With goblin coin currency, which can be earned or bought, players can
purchase in-game brag-worthy cosmetic upgrades. The micro-transaction based store,
controlled by Merrick the goblin shopkeeper, lets players customize their
experience without affecting game play or allowing the purchases to change the
level of competition.
^292-^* Cosmetic upgrades include:

^717*^* Alternate hero avatars
^717*^* Taunt
^717*^* Account icons
^717*^* Alternate announcer packs
^717*^* Name color options.
^717*^* Account Symbols
== ^970New 3v3 Map: Grimm's Crossing^* ==
^292-^* A new action-packed and exciting map that includes a two-way teleporter in
the middle area, allowing for more innovative fighting strategies and tactics.
Grimm's Crossing is a battlefield for the bloodthirsty. The terrain favors the
cunning and aggressive, as hidden paths within the trees can provide a quick way to
rout unsuspecting enemies. There is precious little territory to be contested over;
battles are won and lost at frantic paces, often beginning and ending unexpectedly.
^292-^* Features of the new map:

^717*^* 2 lanes that are very close together
^717*^* Only one set of towers outside of each base
^717*^* Small, tightly packed map
^717*^* Neutral creeps spawn only in the middle section of the map
^717*^* No elevation at entrances into bases
^717*^* 1 rune spawn location in the center
^717*^* Towers' armor scales with number of players alive; Buildings have 100% of
armor when all are alive, scaling to 0 armor when your entire team is dead. This is
active if with both Casual and Normal mode on this map.
^717*^* Twin teleporters for quick transit and fun surprises
^717*^* It's a winter wonderland! Try the snow weather on this map!
== ^970New Game Mode: Casual Mode^* ==
^292-^* This entirely new mode of play will provide new HoN players and casual
gamers with a more �fun,� less punishing way to learn and play HoN. Elements in
Casual Mode speed up progression and increase rewards in ways that remain true to
the game's core identity, delivering a version that can be embraced by new and
veteran players alike.
^292-^* Changes from Normal Mode to Casual Mode are as follows

^717*^* Exp range from 1000 to 1300
^717*^* Removed gold loss on death
^717*^* Increased hero bounty
^717*^*^717*^* Hero base gold bounty: from 200 to 300
^717*^*^717*^* Hero gold bounty per level: from 5 to 10
^717*^* First blood bonus: from 200 to 300
^717*^* Gold bounty per streak: from 50 to 75
^717*^* Hero assist gold totals 50% of kill amount, split between all assisters
^717*^* Radius assist gold base: from 30 to 0
^717*^* Radius assist gold per level: from 5 to 0
^717*^* Respawn time per level from 4 seconds to 3 seconds
^717*^* Denies no longer deny experience
^717*^* Uphill miss chance removed
^717*^* Creeps give 1.25x of average normal mode value, no gold fluctuation
^717*^* Buildings give 1.5x of average normal mode value, no gold fluctuation
^717*^* Towers give global experience when killed, even to dead people, (by tower
level): 150,200,250,300
^717*^* Tower last hit gold bounty: from 470,520,570,620 to 300,350,400,450
^717*^* Tower Team gold bounty: from 200,240,280,320 to 300,350,400,450
^717*^* The amount of experience required to reach the next level increases as the
game goes on. This means that at the beginning, players level up a lot faster than
in Normal Mode, but in the mid and late game they level up at about the same rate
as in Normal Mode.
^717*^* Buyback costs are at 1.75x normal mode values
^717*^* Towers' armor scales with number of players alive; Buildings have 100% of
armor when all are alive, scaling to 0 armor when your entire team is dead.
== ^970New Interface Features^* ==
^292-^* We have revamped the in-game interface to be more dynamic, informative, and
efficient.
^292-^* Enhancements include:

^717*^* Advanced mini-map interaction. Try hovering over heroes, buildings, or
wards!
^717*^* Pull down tabs in the upper right for intuitive access to vote functions
and game options
^717*^* Graphic kill messages for feedback when you net a kill in the upper left.
^717*^* A gold counter to see the breakdown of your gold earnings from different
sources. Hover your mouse over your gold count to see the exact breakdown!
^717*^* Experience range indicators to mark enemies within the experience gain
range. You will notice a small purple diamond next a creep's health bar when you
are in range and a purple diamond effect will play when they die if you got
experience.
^717*^* Context-sensitive pings to highlight the object and send out alert messages
to allies. Try Alt+Clicking an ally, enemy, or building.
^717*^* A hover-over inventory to allow for quicker inventory feedback on allies
and enemies. Hover over an enemy to quickly see their inventory.
== ^970BETA Map Editor^* ==
^292-^* With the exact same tool that we used to make HoN, users can now create and
edit maps for enhanced single-player experiences. Users who are inspired to create
multi-player maps can submit their map designs to the HoN DREAM website for
potential inclusion in HoN. Also, in conjunction with scripting manipulation,
players can create their own custom modes.
^292-^* This is still a BETA version of the Map Editor, and as such still has
features to be added, polish to be done, and bugs to be fixed. Keep this in mind!
^292-^* To open the editor, use the editor.bat file in your HoN directory or re-
install the game and it will automatically add a shortcut to your start menu as
well
== ^970Weather Effects^* ==
^292- ^*A storm has arrived on Newerth with HoN 2.0 and it shows! Change the
weather of the map you are in at any time through the Options menu and feel free to
sing in the rain.
^292-^* Players can set their preferred weather effect in the interface options or
with a chat command. Right now we support "Rain" and "Snow". The default is "Off".
^292-^* Chat commands are as follows:

^717*^* /weather
^717*^* /weather None
^717*^* /weather Rain
^717*^* /weather Snow
^292-^* We included a text file with instructions on how to make your own weather
effects in the HoN directory
== ^970New Item: Spellshards^* ==
^292-^* It's time for the magic users of Newerth to show their true power! With
Spellshards, they can pierce the defenses of the enemy and burn them to a crisp
that much faster.
^292-^* The wielder's spells ignore a portion of their enemy's magic armor, causing
increased magic damage.
^292-^* After obtaining this item, the recipe may be re-purchased to upgrade it.
Can be upgraded two additional times.
^292-^* Components: Great Arcana (1675) + Recipe (1000)
^292-^* Stats:
^717*^* 6 Intelligence
^717*^* 17 Damage
^717*^* 10 Attack Speed
^717*^* 3/6/9% Cooldown Reduction
^717*^* 75% Mana Regeneration
^717*^* Causes any Magic damage you deal to ignore 2/4/6 of your target's Magic
Armor. This effect can never cause their magic armor to go below 0.
^292-^*[I] Note: The item "Trophy Belt" did not make it into this patch.[/I]
== ^970Nemesis and Payback^* ==
^292-^* Beat down an opponent hard enough and you will become their Nemesis! Be
careful, though, for payback is sweet revenge.
^292-^* A 'Nemesis' against an opponent is gained when you kill them 4 times in a
row without them killing or assisting in a kill against you.
^292-^* A 'Payback' is given when you kill or help kill your Nemesis.
== ^970New Music^* ==
^292-^* Newerth's citizens, every now and then, take the time away from the
battlefield to learn new musical scores. They have brought us six new songs to
encourage us in battle!
^292-^* New songs:

^717*^* The Missing Rune
^717*^* Hope
^717*^* From The Depths They Rose
^717*^* The Chase
^717*^* Overrun Lane
^717*^* Kongor's Lair
^292-^* Each map now has a custom music soundtrack that plays songs in a pre-
determined order.
^292-^* In addition, several music related bugs were fixed:

^717*^* Fixed music looping
^717*^* Fixed playlist looping
^717*^* Fixed music fade-out/fade-in
^717*^* When a music track is stopped, it defaults to fading out
^717*^* Music is now streamed rather than loaded upfront. This fixes an issue where
lower-end computers would randomly hitch when the music switched.
^717*^* When a music track ends, its memory is now freed
== ^970Other Features^* ==
^292-^* BP bans increased from 3 to 4

^292-^* Single draft now has blind pick, meaning you won't see the other team's
hero picks during hero selection
^292-^* Banning draft will now switch bans immediately
^292-^* Mid-bar completely redone for HoN 2.0
^292-^* Streak stats are no longer recorded for public games
^292- ^*Fixes for Caldavar so the creeps won't start in tower range in bottom lane
and the middle lane will be more even
== ^970General^* ==
^292-^* Fixed GPM calculations. Gold that wasn't counted in GPM before:
^717*^* Passive
^717*^* First blood bounty
^717*^* Assists
^717*^* Radius bounty
^717*^* Was counting how much a player should have lost on death, rather than what
he actually lost if he didn't have enough gold
^292-^* Fixed a spot you can hit Kongor from outside of his pit
^292-^* You can now also "buy all components" for items without components and
it'll just buy the individual item.
^292-^* Swapping the minimap to right side now also swaps the location of attack
modifiers
^292-^* Added sounds to the pause/unpause countdown
^292-^* You can no longer transfer items from your stash onto units that can't
carry items
^292-^* Toggling mute on a player no longer /ignores them
^292-^* Tweaked effects, voices, and animations of several heroes
^292-^* A code tweak that will increase load time for computers with limited amount
of virtual memory, but should help alleviate crashes due to running out of virtual
memory (32 bit Vista and 7)
^292-^* Gold will now max at 65535 instead of looping back to 0
^292-^* Sped up ^090Frostwolf Skull^* projectile to 1500 (medium speed based on

had a full inventory, including a recipe for that item, the recipe would be
consumed but the item wouldn't upgrade. Fixed.

^717* ^*When enabled, Dev Hero Mode allows work-in-progress "development" heroes to
be played
^717*^* All future S2 Hero additions are going to be added as "dev heroes," this
allows us to get feedback on a large scale and evaluate balance before including
the hero in the stable hero pool
^717*^* Dev hero mode must be enabled when hosting games. It can be filtered in the
game list. Dev heroes will not be used in matchmaking or competitive tournaments
^292-^* Added new advanced game option "Tournament Rules"

first ban

^717*^* Items dropped on death cannot be picked up by couriers, sold, or killed on
the ground.
^717*^* Items dropped on death can be picked up and used by anyone.
^292-^* Added 5 seconds to each players pick time in Random Draft (25 -> 30)
^292-^* Added 5 seconds to transition between bans and picks in Random Draft (15 ->
20)
^970Important Bug Fixes^*
^292-^* When using Runes of Blight on a tree, heroes will now approach from the
correct side. (Will now no longer go all the way around a tree to eat it)

Drain
^292-^* Fixed sound system/voicemanager interactions that were causing crashes upon
sound system restart
^292-^* You can now drop an item into an inventory spot with a building under it
^970Matchmaking 2.0^*
^292-^* Matchmaking has received some serious revisions that should drastically
improve match making quality. Please help us further perfect our match making
system by giving it a try and leaving feedback on the forums
^717*^* Reworked how matches are formed to more consistently replace players who
fail to load and to decrease time to find matches for players with exceptionally
high or low SMR ratings
^717*^* Players new to matchmaking must complete 5 provisional matches, in which
they will be matched with other new players. If not enough new players are
available, they will eventually be matched with regular players.
^717*^* Players now have the option to set their initial standing according to
general skill level, which affects the types of players they will be matched
against. The three options are Beginner, Intermediate, and advanced.
^717*^* Solo matchmaking uses Banning Draft (BD)
^970Ingame Changes^*
^292- ^*Added a new keybinding: Direct Pathing (Modifer 3)

^717*^* When held down and an order is given (Move, Attack, Cast, etc) will move
the hero in a direct path towards where you click no matter what is in the way.
Ignores cliffs, heroes, and creeps. Useful for chasing through the woods or pushing
yourself against a cliff to cast into the river!
^292-^* Re-arranged some of the shop to put modifers into the correct (bottom)
shop. This includes all lifesteal items. Brutalizer and Lightning items are now in
the Combat shop. Be wary of your hotkeys!
^292-^* If you buy an item on a courier then transfer that item to your hero, you
can now sell that item for its full value within the 15sec sellback period
^292-^* Added game option "Minimap Rightclick" (default on). When disabled, the

that the hero was removed and assets distributed to their team if the disconnected
player was a referee or spectator
^292-^* Fixed disconnect messages appearing twice when a player disconnects in game
^292-^* Calling a vote to remake, pause or kick (through the console) before the
pre-match game phase will no longer work. (ie. only after the players are loaded
into the map can they call these.)
^292-^* If displaying chat timestamps were enabled in game, various game messages
sent to both teams were not being timestamped (disconnects, Kongor kills, Barracks
destruction, etc). These messages now display the timestamp properly if the client
has this option enabled.
^292-^* New death for the legion main building
^292-^* Finally took down our Christmas lights...
^292-^* New Hellbourne sounds and effects for buildings
^292-^* Random small chest sound/model fixes

^292-^* Unpause now plays a noise so players are aware
^292-^* Fixed some neutral NPC sounds playing globally
^292-^* Updated map to remove texture seams

"Lock Camera" options would see those settings carry over into the the next game
they joined or played

^292-^* Fixed spectators at 1920x1080 resolution

^292-^* Pressing ALT in the game lobby will now toggle the chat mode between "Team"

as we weren't making use of the space and server names with long names like those
we use for South Africa overlapped into these labels
^292-^* Voice chat indicator/mute button shows up in the hero picker/etc. now (on
the inner side of the hero name)

^970General Changes^*
^292-^* Replays now begin recording during the picking phase

^292-^* Removed the "Tier" filters, columns and inputs from the game browser and
create game interface
^292-^* Added filters, sortable columns and all inputs for Min/Max PSR to the game
browser and create game interface
^717*^* Players may now specify a Min/Max PSR range when creating a game. Min/Max
PSR games will appear normally as they would in the game browser and other players
may join a game if their PSR falls within 2% of the range the game server Min/Max
PSR is set to. (This means a player with 1471 PSR should be able to make it into a
game marked Min 1500, and a 1734 player would be able to join a game marked as Max
1700, but those are the very edge of the 2% tolerance, so anything higher or lower
would be rejected.)
^292-^* Games outside of a player's PSR range are grayed out in the game browser
similar to the way "No Leaver" games appear to a player with leaver status. If no
range is specified when the game is created then no range is enforced. If a player
is invited to a game, the server ignores the PSR restrictions for them allowing
friends to play in games they may not normally be able to be playing
^292-^* Added Min/Max PSR to the /gi or /gameinfo commands
^292-^* The players PSR is now retrieved stored locally on the client when logging
in, and is accessible through the UI_CMD() GetPSR()
^292-^* Removed the ticks, grinds, and blips and whatnot that were playing when the
game started up
^292-^* Added an option "Disable Background Effects" that allows users to toggle
whether or not all the background lobby effects and animations are played. (Credit
to Pancakeslp for the original mod)
^292-^* Fixed some buddy request/add notifications playing sounds a bunch of times
when logging in if a player had those notifications saved in their history
^292-^* The Notification Duration slider under options->interface now sets the
duration (1-15 seconds) a notification is displayed for
^292-^* Fixed a number of incorrectly labeled tooltips on the options menu.
Disabled the "Health/Mana Bar Scale" in the options
^292-^* Removed the "Options" menu from the F10 in game menu
^292-^* Fixed "Add PlayerName" buttons on options menu to align properly and
correctly add the player clicked on
^292-^* Increased max size of joinable channels to 30
^292-^* Using the slash command /join <channelname> "password" will now attempt to
join the channel with the password specified. (Anything in between the quotes at
the end becomes the password)
^292-^* Fixed some issues in the client/interface causing the change password
dialogue to not work
^292-^* Fixed the lock/unlocked tooltip for hosts to display the correct tip (was
previously showing the opposite tooltip it should have been showing)
^292-^* Players can now select Logon/Logoff and Join/Leave Game notification
settings for clan members separately from the notifications they select for their
friends

properly

currently being used
^292- ^*Fixed iris closing sound being heard on disconnect
^292-^* Fixed "/r" to not reply to a clan whisper automatically with "/c m",
instead it will reply directly to the sender with a "/w PlayerName" just like how
"/b m" works
^292-^* Trying out new color for the selected item in listboxes
^292-^* Fixed the "Show Winner" button on the match stats screen to correctly
display and announce the team who won
^292-^* Fixed sound driver list sometimes showing the current driver incorrectly
^717*^* This means the sound system will only restart if it is indeed necessary
^292-^* Fixed a couple places where linux system class was using incorrect
character conversions
^292-^* Added console command "precacheworld <mapname>". So for example type
"precacheworld caldavar" to precache its resources
^292-^* Removed cvar browser_maxPing as it was not being used
^292-^* Invisible Mode will now remember its state the next time the game re-loads
^292- ^*Players in "Invisible Mode" will no longer auto join default HoN or Clan
channels when leaving a game, allowing them to properly remain in a hidden state
^292-^* Clicking on the clock in the system bar now toggles between 12 hour and 24
hour display
^292-^* Re-arranged Public and Create Game interfaces to make more space and added
icons/checkboxes for the new "Hardcore" and "Dev Heroes" game options

results on the client so only pings less the chosen number populate the game list

called "Advanced". It allows players to filter multiple game modes (ie. SD, BD,
BP) all at once locally in the client. Upon selecting 'Advanced' a small panel
pops up and the player can choose the game modes they want to see in the game list
just by selecting the appropriate checkbox then clicking OK
^292- ^*Default SFX volume down to 0.6 from 0.7
^292-^* Fixed an issue with the chat server where if a user sent a message
using /b or /m and someone on one of those lists was in /dnd mode, it wouldn't
send the message to all the people on the list.
^292-^* Overhauled how adding buddies/friends works. You now must request
friendship before someone is actually added as your friend.
^717*^* You can request friends when offline and they will get the notifications
upon logging in, and approve at their convenience
^717*^* We might have to wipe current friends lists at some point in the future
for this to work correctly.
^292- ^*Added new search support for filtering games by name:

^717* ^*Added feature to allow players to type in multiple search phrases. By
typing a search phrase and adding a ?|? the client will distinguish one phrase
from another. The browser will then search the available games and show any games
showing any one of the phrases separated by a "|".
^717* ^*Added feature to allow players to exclude certain games based on the
search phrase. By typing in a "-" at the beginning of the search phrase the client
will automatically filter any games with "Phrase" to not show up. Note that
exclusion of search terms takes precedence over inclusion. (Excluding a term, and
then trying to include the same term will cause it not to appear, ie ?noobs|-
noobs?)
^717* ^*The "|" and "-" can be escaped with a "\" should the player want to search
on a game with the pipe or hyphen in it.
^717* ^*All searches are color and case insensitive, and the order that the search
phrases are entered have no effect on how they will display. So "1500|-no ab" is
the same as "-no ab|1500".
Some examples:
^717*^*Search Phrase: "1550|1600|1650|-no ab|-noobs" - This searches on any game
with "1550", "1600", and "1650" in the name, and if it has the words "no ab" or
"noobs" in it it will not display.
^717*^*Search Phrase: "-no ab|1500|1550|-countryname|ab" - This searches on any
game with "1500", "1550" and "ab" in the name, and if it has the words "no ab" or
"countryname" in it it will not display.
^717*^*Search Phrase: "1500|\-SDEM|pipe\|test" - This searches on any game with
"1500", "-sdem" and "pipe|test" in the name.
