2.0.13.3 Patch Notes

[Idejder]

This is not the big "balance realignment" patch we talked about in the news letter.

Version 2.0.13.3
-------------
- Fixed Grim Reaper death
- Fixed some missing UI textures

Version 2.0.13.2
-------------
- Fixed stringtable failure

Version 2.0.13.1
-------------
- Fixes a cursor issue
- Added the missing Account Icons

Version 2.0.13
-------------
- New Monitor game feature
* Right click a friend or clanmate who is ingame to Monitor them, getting basic stats that update every minute

- Casual Mode changes
* Decreased creep bounty to normalized Normal Mode values, down from 1.25x
* Hero bounties to 2x of Normal Mode values, up from 1.5x
* These changes are aimed at addressing the dominance of carries by reducing creep farming rate and increasing the gap between killer and victim so early game power is more significant

- Added a new Alt Avatar for Soul Reaper, the Grim Reaper
- There are now keybinds in the options menu to level up each of your skills
* Default bound to ALT+Z, ALT+X, ALT+C, ALT+V, and ALT+O for abilities and stats
- Fixed a bug where mousing over the minimap would sometimes turn the cursor into a targeting cursor
- Fixed bugs with many of the models in the game. Results in a small performance increase

- Predasaurs no longer have evasion, now have additional Armor (same effective HP against attacks)
- Vagabond Assassins will no longer automatically purge nearby players
- Sporespitters no longer has +15 free damage per attack
- Antlore Healers will no longer heal themselves

- Empath
* Range on Illusory Veil changed to 800

[Lethal]

Ah shortcuts to level up skills.

[Muxas]

[Hoffelcopter]

Not the balance patch, again. I am disappoint.

[Crunchynut]

Wanted balance

[made`]

Yay!

[korDen]

Nice!

[Decatf]

Yay no more attacking the predasaurs for like 50 mins and not landing a singloe hit.

[thejimsta]

not bad for a small patch.

[SR costume <3]

[Twillz]

le sigh

[QtheMuse]

U Jelly?

[Player27]

[FiNGERS]

Looking forward to it! Thank you for the levelup ability hotkeys!

[KARTlK]

[TurtleClub]

w00t

[Oceanic`815]

Why is this update 32MB

[This`Is`Dog]

Sigh, still no realignment patch. I'm a sad :pand:

[Testingrani]

Thanks for this.

Interesting Monitor feature.

[Volko]

32Mo patch ? wtf ?

[ZyV]

THX for finally implementing new hotkeys.

[Elation]

weak

[Shocker420]

Cool I guess. Havent played sr much maybe I will now.

[IntErlIdEr]

37 megas for that... wow...

~IntEr

[Brudish]

Pretty crap patch..

37 megas for that... wow...

~IntEr


Yeah...wtf?

[Mattysaiyan]

Where be my grim reaper!?

[TripleGoran]

Unnecessary nerf to empath. :( At least make it so vector targetting starts at the end of the wall, and not the middle. :( :( :(

[Mazinkaiser]

WOOOOOT GJ S2 :Db

[Anterez]

my mouse keeps disappearing when i get back in the game after alt tabbing. dunno if its the game or if its just me

[miley__cyrus]

T-T-T-T-errrible 1 week to reali$e that patch oh oh oh oh oh oh

[studfacestad]

Over/under on how many more patches until the "Realignment Patch"...my money is on 5.

[Rawnslaught]

"Default bound to ALT+O"
>ALT+O
Who would do that?

[Zpredator]

Why is grim using his sythe for a ranged attack?

Is the death animation for grim bugged?

[whambulanc3]

Catman Champions still need a nerf =(

[Gortex]

No more evasion :0 the metagame!!!!

[StaticNova]

2.0.13 and 2.0.13.1 together have size of 42mb i smell somethink hidden inside

[miley__cyrus]

the avatar is terrible how the hell a scythe attack in range mod..........

Best alt avatar till the moment! *_*

[Empleon]

-.- wish we could have a "what goes into a week at the office" post if this is all we keep getting.

[Jmetcalf]

I just have to say...I haven't played since this patch was released but just by looking over the patch notes...

Solid changes S2.

:o

[Scope]

The Grim Reaper looks badass!
And not only that but I think his horse is a clear reference to "Baron's" steed in WoW.

[Noodlex]

oh wow, where did hammer, empath, arachna alt avatar bundles go? I wanted to buy that

[Contriscion]

Ty so much for the ingame monitoring!!!!

[Naxemal]

- Vagabond Assassins will not longer automatically purge nearby players
- Sporespitters no longer has +15 free damage per attack

FUKING THANK YOU!!

[Work4TheMan]

awww no new announcer, so depressing ;(

Oh well grim reaper looks nice, hope the infamous realignment patch will get here next friday.. If it isn't you should've said sooner or later.

[Olie]

yawn

[bubba]

As someone said, it should be something hidden in the patch.

[miley__cyrus]

Redjedi pm me when ur open to have some critism about ur game (sorry for that engrish) .. dont see anything good in this patch. cant see my editor.. or new (good) intels

[ZyV]

* Default bound to ALT+Z, ALT+X, ALT+C, ALT+V, and ALT+O for abilities and stats

Okay so now can ANYONE tell me what the hell "attribute boost" is ??
I always thought it was a disabled stat leveling...
Yet it's still there when we now have level up stats.

Sooooooooooooooo, what is it ???

[Muerte]

cant choose alt avatar...click on him and nothing happened :O

[Mazinkaiser]

Skin owns :d :d :d

[Puretide]

grim reaper looks pretty cool man

[oceanpollen]

cant choose alt avatar...click on him and nothing happened :O

You can't spawn with an alt skin in practice games. You can spawn the alt skin and control it, however, in a practice game with the test button. Just set it to Legion/Hellbourne depending on which you are, and spawn Hero_HellDemon.Alt

[NvZnHuynh]

still no balance patch... good job S2.

BUG REPORT:
soul reaper's alt avatar's death is obnoxiously retarded... loops the sound over and over. Great job by S2!!! yeah!!!!!

[NoskillzNils]

nice

[Muerte]

thx <3

[Fedora_]

Why nerf the ****ing forest? Make Wildsoul and Lego more OP than they already are? ****ing idiots at S2.

[_dazE]

Thanks for making vagabonds less of a pain in the ass :P
Also, the monitor feature is really cool!

Still eagerly awaiting realignment though >~<

[Konsumed]

Love the monitoring, bravo S2. Also grim soul reaper looks great and the neutral changes were spot on. Mini-patches each friday are fine by me. Keep up the good work.

[Olie]

Why nerf the ****ing forest? Make Wildsoul and Lego more OP than they already are? ****ing idiots at S2.

yeah man, wildsoul is even more op now, esp when they buff alc bones :wild:

[Crap]

Legionare OP? troll

[LonJAXsoN]

Cool.. I download the patch and it won't apply.

[Zeledaki]

Grim Reaper FUN

[Time2Play]

I like this patch!


...for other reasons.

[Repugnance]

WAHAWHHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAHWA HWAHWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW that's what grim sounds like when he dies

do not change.

[`ketch]

Have you changed something with the ALT key? I play whilst on Ventrillo and my Push-To-Talk bind has always been ALT. So now when i'm running away and holding ALT+C and just clicking infront of my character the screen isn't locking resulting in me just standing on the spot, I have to press C and then ALT and then if I want to unlock my screen I need to press ALT again.

I know this doesn't sound like a big deal but it really does make a huge difference to the way I, and probably many others, play.

[Mr_Rogers]

Been saving my coins since 2.0, the moment I heard about this alt I knew thats what I wanted. Now I has a sad, seriously how do you manage to screw up the grim reaper? Its a guy, in a robe, on a black or pale horse with a scythe. Not this carnival freak show, looks like a rip off of that guy from darksiders. Horns, really s2, thats some professional trolling.

There are now keybinds in the options menu to level up each of your skills
* Default bound to ALT+Z, ALT+X, ALT+C, ALT+V, and ALT+O for abilities and stats
I believe this is where your problem comes from.

np.

[PewPew]

Not balanced at all in casual....

[`ketch]

I believe this is where your problem comes from.

np.


You're beautiful xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks man.

[TheOtherOne]

- Neutral creeps now suicide when you go within 300 range of them, giving you gold and experience and dropping Runes of Blight. This change is to eliminate any annoying challenge they previously presented.

[Ryper7]

wtf? why are people complaining about this patch? empath was released just a week ago. give them at least another week for the realignment patch.

oh and the patch is huge because they fixed up some models

- Fixed bugs with many of the models in the game. Results in a small performance increase
unless implementing 'monitor' took like 3 million lines of code of course

[Breast]

shortcuts for gaining abilities

yay

[`DeMeNt]

hon crashes when updating, does anyone else has this bug ?
I can't update.

[HaTerzx1]

cant dl it yet. how long 'til i can dl it??

[Angusiasty]

I hate you S2... now people don't want to let me solo mid with sr coz they think I just want to use my alt avatar...

[HaTerzx1]

i work at a internet cafe and my customers are complaining that the patch won't update. when do you think this dl will be up by?

[Jeroz]

love the monitor functionality

[apm120]

which cursor fix was it?

cursor not turning red on hover above enemy units?

[Jmetcalf]

Sometimes when you would hover your cursor over the minimap it would pull up the red target symbol. I believe that one.

[devilesk]

monitor feature is amazing! now i can monitor my friends as they're sucking in game and tell them how much they're sucking while they're sucking! i won't have to wait until after the game to see they sucked!

[voidpredator]

2.013.2 for MAC. NOW. we pay the same 30 bucks to play this. Keep getting have to wait for minor patches is just meh.:krak::krak:

[DoktrLucifr]

Now I can't load the game. Nice. ~_~

[zerojay]

* Default bound to ALT+Z, ALT+X, ALT+C, ALT+V, and ALT+O for abilities and stats

i love you

[Volume]

Yay hotkeys for skills. I only suggested this like 3 months ago directly to Maliken. And only edited the startup.cfg so I could get around the lack of this feature despite constant threads saying "but you can already do this in options menu derp derp"

Thanks S2

[Tekkawarrior]

what a shitty company S2 is... how can you not nerf scout? this hero can go invisible at almost any time and every idiot in this game never bans him. it's impossible to ****ing play your game if you refuse to balance it !!!

[Ya_Daddy]

I cant start the game either...any tips or possible reasons????

[Rayleigh]

no new announcer :(
that soulreaper's alt avatar's horse is ugly :/
thumbs up for changes on neutrals :)

[hoheit]

ty S2, cant load the game after patching again

[Corn22]

Stupid.

[majkzor]

Thanks!
Waited for such avatar :)

[Hipster_]

:empa: needs buff not nerf : (

[Quo_Vadis]

Hi guys i want to ask alltime when im instaling this patch it wrote to me crash report do someone know what i shell do with this ?

[Pibadi]

That Grim Reaper from LoL - Karthus alt. avatar? same name ;)

[KaaL]

Hi.

I have a problem in the new patch! After it downloaded & installed the patch, if i wanna play Match Making its Throws me a Crash Report !!!

PLease can anyone help me with this !

[KaaL]

I have the same problem!!!!

[Radw]

epic big patch. 5 new heroes and tons of new items.

[Vortex]

- Predasaurs no longer have evasion, now have additional Armor (same effective HP against attacks)
- Vagabond Assassins will no longer automatically purge nearby players
- Sporespitters no longer has +15 free damage per attack
- Antlore Healers will no longer heal themselves
YEAH!

[Quo_Vadis]

Guys this is realy stupid big problem and then shall fix it

[Gowerly]

All this "Is this it?" stuff.
One would assume most of their time is spent doing the realignment/other optimisations/fixes. Anything small and separate from the alignment stuff can be released in a patch by itself, which is what you're getting here.

[Aerics]

After installing the patch i have no text/stringtables ingame:
http://www.realityworld.de/bilder/hon/hon_error_1.jpg
And to apply my addons give me this error:
http://www.realityworld.de/bilder/hon/hon_error_2.jpg

The patch destroyed the security and owner settings from the file.
I can`t changed it, but a reboot helped.

[spacegiraffe]

People that are saying "Is that it?" I'm pretty sure:
- Vagabond Assassins will no longer automatically purge nearby players
Is awesome enough to be a patch on its own.


For once I'm actually really happy with the patch changes even though there was little to no balancing going on.

[TheSchlong]

I dont get it, to repair the Bug with Empaths heal not canceling when she is stuned takes 2 minutes for a very very bad coder, I mean it doesn't even stop in Chronos's ulti. At least name the skill : Ultra Superior Mega Over 9000. But over the time i have learned to have low expectations from S2 so it's not that much of a wow thing.

[RaViJ]

- Sporespitters no longer has +15 free damage per attack


:ophe: Why do you do this S2? Why?

[mtK]

Not bad for a small patch. GJ.

Monitor feature is awesome.

[spamilator]

- Vagabond Assassins will no longer automatically purge nearby players

What does that mean? If I pull Vagabond Assassins out of the camp they will not put their slow/buff remove on me?

[Zelator]

If they had created these skins as new heroes there would be more people playing this game

[Noob]

If they had created these skins as new heroes there would be more people playing this game

yeh cause it takes the same amount of time to create a skin as it does a hero

[Tropicocity]

I don't understand why anyone would require keyboard hotkeys for LEVELLING UP A SKILL!?

You ding to the next level. You hit the + sign above your chosen ability. Hard? Nope!

[Bamsemums]

Simple, but good.

Looking forward for the big balance patch though. Any ETA on that btw?

[Noob]

maybe when your in battle and dont have time to click it..

[fjksQjw]

they changed new hero every week to every alt avatar, u have to pay for, every week?

[korreWorre]

- Fixed a bug where mousing over the minimap would sometimes turn the cursor into a targeting cursor

Thank god!! It was damn annoying

[Onkelffs]

they changed new hero every week to every alt avatar, u have to pay for, every week?

When did they say new hero every week? :S

I <3 this community that hate getting additional content each week.

Put the alt avatar modeller on game design and beta testing herp-a-derp.

[dr_wurst]

of course the patch is big, incoming valentines day event, probably with some valentines hero skins

[a8Whatever]

lollolololol

[DaBigBoi]

I dont get it, to repair the Bug with Empaths heal not canceling when she is stuned takes 2 minutes for a very very bad coder, I mean it doesn't even stop in Chronos's ulti.

Working as intended.

[Baer]

I don't get people flaming this patch.
S2 is working on a really big patch right now, so you won't see any big changes right now, but even bigger chances later.

[Steffen]

killing neutrals is now way more fun :)

AND LESS RANDOM!

[Smagafeto]

Please add new styles of color nick y.y

[CoRo]

Is it normal that I can't choose alt avatars on Practice-Mode? :<
Never tested it before that patch.

[tobbe628]

im very dissapoint.. balances.. god

[dr_wurst]

Is it normal that I can't choose alt avatars on Practice-Mode? :<
Never tested it before that patch.
normal

[NoSpanish]

Now I can't load the game. Nice. ~_~

I have the same problem.. Each time S2 launch a new patch I just get a "CRASH REPORT" after download it ¬¬..

I hope u can help us with a link when we can Download just the patch if the auto dont work...

S2 can u help us with that option?? I Think that may help a lot of customers that cant play after a new patch is launched...

Really THks and A hope Notice about it. :pred:

[Ruach]

**** the alignment patch... it will come when its done... but this ability shortcut update is wicked. Thanks S2

[Q_efx]

Items pls in live match view, plsssssssssssssss :)

[NektarN]

Fix the freaking replay bug

[Gstar_6]

im sorry but new patch dosent work on my computer.
could you upload the new patch please?

[Bob_Bobson]

Nice patch, but why is the patch

32 MB

big? that's... strange

S2 Members, please explain to me :|
i smell something fishy :myrm:

[Ashlan]

the patch is 32 mb just for this? just saying because i have seen larguer patch notes whit lesser mb.
Keep the good work S2 cant wait for the next patch!

PD: hope you put some new skin that i actualy like.

[Phosis]

Cam sme1 help? can't patch...crash after update

[andzero]

i thought the missing flags were included in the bigsized patch :/

[Inno]

i hate the sound when SR dies :/

[Esja]

Why so big patch for nothing? Tell us what ur stealth change isn oobs..

[ZyV]

I don't understand why anyone would require keyboard hotkeys for LEVELLING UP A SKILL!?

You ding to the next level. You hit the + sign above your chosen ability. Hard? Nope!

OK. Nobody claims this is "hard", now let me ask you a thing or two :



Do you use even a single keyboard hotkey at all ?
Do you only use your mouse for EVERYTHING ?

If 1. then ask yourself why ? (EFFICIENCY).
If 2. then grats. Just don't bother yourself with a feature you don't use.

[xmangosx]

Crashing again after this patch...that's about 3 patches in a row.

[Kent``]

Want to know why it's a 32 mb patch?

- Fixed bugs with many of the models in the game. Results in a small performance increase

No need to thanks me.

Also I think 75% of HoN community don't understand Empath life drain. Think about CD's Conduit. It's the same thing, just they added a link so its a cleaner visual. It's only a debuff guys...

[Arruia]

update path 2.0.13.2 HON download PLZ
My hon no update.

and if it's an debuff shoulden't it also count as a dot, seemingly as the damage deals in numbers of 1 extremly rapid?

[SkylerB]

Buy an eye idiot.:scou:

Noone expects you to understand the game mechanics. Adapt and overcome. Its not a channeling skill, and it would be absolutely useless if it was. Its like a magmus who has ultied blinking into the middle of Chronos's ult...will the void in time stop the waves from killing you...? Doubter.

When you learn to play the game as it is and stop complaining about everything maybe then you will start coming up with ways to outplay heroes.

I know its alot to ask from a 1700.

[Coolcollo]

Fix servers. Ever since the Empath patch the servers disconnect me from chat which = a boot from the game, 3 login/logouts then I find (team fault now) team didn't pause, I died. :/

[Fooslikeasin]

I wish I could play the game. The patch isn't available for download, as far as I can see, and my game always crashes when trying to update via the in-game updater.

[Asrial]

Why is one of the bundles giving a 0 coin discount? Kind of defeats the purpose of buying the bundle...

[Supercheese]

Why is one of the bundles giving a 0 coin discount? Kind of defeats the purpose of buying the bundle...

It's because some of the things available in the bundle can't be purchased any other way, IIRC.

[scoutTier]

[EvilVibol]

[EvilVibol]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Fooslikeasin]

4char
I don't know what this means.

[scoutTier]

I have the same problem

[KiBaWTF]

i lold at grimreaper death :(

[Emazza]

Honestly on Linux 64 bit (Ubuntu) never crashed once... Surprised about reading a lot of ppl complaining about stability (probably on Windows)...

Cheers,

[mtK]

I have W7, never had problems with updating...

[Jmetcalf]

My game K2s occasionally while patching...

Stop alt+tabbing that only angers it. I've found i just rerun it and it patches fine. This happens every 2nd or 3rd patch for me.

Also glad the Grim rapee doesnt scream like hes the 9th victim of the night anymore.

[Bkok]

:bomb: why is it that after the updates on 2/12/11 that I get pings ranging form 300-999? My internet connection was fine and i never lagged @ home since day 1 on my account, yet im lagging now? can anyone tell me if the updates and my pings are related or is it my connection. if it isnt my connection, what can i do (if anything) to get my hon playing back to how it was?

[RaViJ]

Just curious how the Grim death got into the last patch without being noticed or fixed.

[Shoojda]

Hmm balance or more unbalance? :D now any jungle hero hes to be ganked 2 times more than usual :P

[Shoojda]

:bomb: why is it that after the updates on 2/12/11 that I get pings ranging form 300-999?

test net speed?
find lagging issues Thread on forum and try to fix?
try reinstall?
if doesn't work.. suicude is ur option :)

[EBAD]

i cannot select alt avatar for grim reaper

[BlaZodiak]

Version 2.0.13.3
-------------
- Fixed Grim Reaper death
- Fixed some missing UI textures

noooooooooo :(

[d0peturtle]

like the new avatar!

[SuperFly]

Patches like this are the reason I'm currently playing LOL. Sorry S2, you've got the much better game, but you bring so little new content out that it gets boring. PRODUCE SOME GOODS MAN.

[Phosis]

ZZZ i cant even update HELPPP!!!!

[GoldDragon]

The only problem I have is I can't monitor someones game i guess. the option just doesn't appear.

[mtK]

I can monitor, but problem is you can do it only for one friend. Can you fix, so we can monitor games from more friends at the time?

[LegendaryOne]

GOOD JOB GUYS :)
You guys fix fast :)

[Jeroz]

I can monitor, but problem is you can do it only for one friend. Can you fix, so we can monitor games from more friends at the time?

weird, coz I was able to monitor multiple games from day1.....

[InsaneYoshi]

my favorite quote of the patch "finally SR alt avatar is here!"

Like we really care LOL.

[PiChnutE]

this gaycombo is unbalanced....empaths life drain cant be rejected that is fail i think :D

[TheSchlong]

Noone expects you to understand the game mechanics. Adapt and overcome. Its not a channeling skill, and it would be absolutely useless if it was. Its like a magmus who has ultied blinking into the middle of Chronos's ult...will the void in time stop the waves from killing you...? Doubter.

When you learn to play the game as it is and stop complaining about everything maybe then you will start coming up with ways to outplay heroes.

I know its alot to ask from a 1700.

Dont get me wrong m8, but u campared an Ulti with a lvl 1 Learning skill, Magmus ulti is Channeling untill it is bursted, BUT it is clearly stated in the skill description " After 2 Seconds of channeling it will dmg for "x" amount over "y" time, every 0."k" seconds."

Now on CD's Corrupted Conduit, let's read the description :

Applies Corrupted Conduit (Enemy) to targeted Enemy Hero and Corrupted Conduit (Self) to yourself, linking both together and adding one charge per second.

The link is broken if the enemy moves more then 700 units away from the Corrupted Disciple, if the Corrupted Disciple loses sight of him, or 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 total damage is drained.

The lost damage or bonus damage is retained for 13 seconds after the link is broken.

Grants 800 day and night clearvision on the target while draining.

This makes CC a good skill with a very good description where u can find out its not going to be stoped if CD is stunned, BUT it will stop if the target moves away 700 units, if u lose sight of him or "x" amount of dmg is drained.

I want to see this description in Empaths skill also :

Steals 30/45/60/75 life per second for 5 seconds from the target. The link is broken if the enemy moves more then 850 units away from Empath, if Empath loses sight of him, or 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 total life was drained.

Thats a good description of a skill, not what they have right now.
Did u also know that Life Essence dosent stop even when u use it on a bubble with Take Cover activated? Is that how it was supposed to work?


And btw u talk about my 1700 psr when u are 1500 :/ thats dumb.

[InsaneYoshi]

wtf r u crying about? LOL

[Yasai]

Was hoping the SR skin would look cooler post-patch. As it is now, I'll wait for a different skin. :\ Still looks like a kid's cartoony version of a grim reaper.

[PaperShoes]

can someone please tell me why i always get crash report after updating this patch?

please help me... :(

[Rohs]

can someone please tell me why i always get crash report after updating this patch?

please help me... :(

I'm having the same problem after the update, the game restarts and stays at a black screen. I need help!!!

[Zuks]

Is it possible to put some more symbols??? i talking now about Flags !!!
It is kinda sad, i cant find Latvian flag and ofc. some other flags aswell. Could be cool if u make them!!! tnx

[Jmetcalf]

The Empath tool tip reads fine, if you read it...



Steals 30/45/60/75 life per second for 5 seconds from the target. The line breaks if the distance between Empath and her target reaches 850 units, and stuns the target for 1 second. While bonded to an ally with As One, Essence Link heals the host instead of Empath.

Thats a perfect description. Using basic math I can figure out that 30x5, 45x5, 60x5, and 75x5 turn into 150, 225, 300, and 375 damage per level if you manage to leech the target for the entire time. If Empath loses sight of a hero, and they are in range they will continue to see the life leech from Empath, but Empath will not see it on them but can see it on the buff bar until it runs out/is broken.

I talk about your 1700 PSR because (and im bad so never did I claim to be asian) you're in here with baseless complaints just trying to get things changed because you don't understand how to play with or against them.

As far as Bubbles, I can't say what the S2 staff wanted. There has been a few patches released since they released Empath and there is an Empath bug compilation thread this has been mentioned in...so I can only assume that another patch is coming or this the how the mechanics were built to be since bubbles take cover doesn't actually debuff him...who knows.

:swif::swif:
This is not the big "balance realignment" patch we talked about in the news letter.

Version 2.0.13.3
-------------
- Fixed Grim Reaper death
- Fixed some missing UI textures

Version 2.0.13.2
-------------
- Fixed stringtable failure

Version 2.0.13.1
-------------
- Fixes a cursor issue
- Added the missing Account Icons

Version 2.0.13
-------------
- New Monitor game feature
* Right click a friend or clanmate who is ingame to Monitor them, getting basic stats that update every minute

- Casual Mode changes
* Decreased creep bounty to normalized Normal Mode values, down from 1.25x
* Hero bounties to 2x of Normal Mode values, up from 1.5x
* These changes are aimed at addressing the dominance of carries by reducing creep farming rate and increasing the gap between killer and victim so early game power is more significant

- Added a new Alt Avatar for Soul Reaper, the Grim Reaper
- There are now keybinds in the options menu to level up each of your skills
* Default bound to ALT+Z, ALT+X, ALT+C, ALT+V, and ALT+O for abilities and stats
- Fixed a bug where mousing over the minimap would sometimes turn the cursor into a targeting cursor
- Fixed bugs with many of the models in the game. Results in a small performance increase

- Predasaurs no longer have evasion, now have additional Armor (same effective HP against attacks)
- Vagabond Assassins will no longer automatically purge nearby players
- Sporespitters no longer has +15 free damage per attack
- Antlore Healers will no longer heal themselves

- Empath
* Range on Illusory Veil changed to 800

[frosttbite]

OK. Nobody claims this is "hard", now let me ask you a thing or two :



Do you use even a single keyboard hotkey at all ?
Do you only use your mouse for EVERYTHING ?
If 1. then ask yourself why ? (EFFICIENCY).
If 2. then grats. Just don't bother yourself with a feature you don't use.

Nice 4 inch penis. :scou:

[siraXLe]

Let those rats to autocast purge! It may give you a save sometimes, when they are hunting you in the forest.

[Gounaris]

Reworded for clarification:
- Vagabonds are no longer a god damn DEATHTRAP
- Sporespitters are no longer the strongest camp in the game next to Kongor.

[marras]

Nerfed sporespitters = buff ophelia pls
Foresters are so weak atm.. wildsoul too squishy, warbeast takes too much time, ophelia the squishiest hero :D, legionnaire pretty useless against most teams.....
The only really scary forester left is predator, that needs his lifesteal nerfed :p
But whatever, I'm guessing we're gonna see some cool balance changes soon anyway. There's always something to whine about, I think S2 is doing good job. We can only wish you to do it faster :P

[D00D]

They fear to release the 2.0.14 post.

It will be epic, for sure ^^
