2.5.7 Patch Notes

[[S2]Idejder]

Version 2.5.7
------------
- Free Hero Pool has been updated. The current list is as follows:
* :fors: Forsaken Archer
* Arachna
* Slither
* The Madman

* Soul Reaper
* Pyromancer
* Bubbles
* Glacius

* Maliken
* Legionnaire
* Amun-Ra
* Tundra
* Deadwood
* :jera: Jeraziah
* Keeper of the Forest

- Significant optimizations have been made to the UI. Most of these are aimed at memory usage and memory management, improving performance, and stability.
* 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!
* Memory usage has been dramatically reduced to help alleviate hardware limitations for players both new and old
* 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

- 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
- Fixed MMR reward issues where players were given more MMR than they should have been when a teammate disconnects from the game
- Fixed time waited calculations to reflect when a group is placed back into queue
- Increased the size of Fist of Sol Taunt and added splatter effects based on community feedback
- Increased the size of Dumpster Taunt and added a new effect - Dumpstered!

- Added new Early Access Hero: Gravekeeper
- Added new Limited Edition Early Access Alt Avatar: Shinigami Gravekeeper

- Added new Fayde Alt Avatar: Gypsy Fayde

Amun-Ra
- Phoenix Ra's Path of Destruction animation has been modified to boost visual feedback of the skill

Gemini
- Fire and Ice is now interrupted if either dog gets stunned or silenced while channeling
* Gemini is undergoing extensive balance changes which will be revealed and implemented as the hero undergoes substantial testing in the coming weeks

Sye's note: Artworks for the added models can be found here

Our expected release date is Jan 27th. Many thanks to all our testers and everyone else who has helped contribute.

--------------------
Awesome patch s2, much more important than a balance patch right now its nice to know that s2 is working hard to polish the game even more.

Also, its great to know that the s2 is learning about their mistakes and problem they face I see a growing company that is slowly going back to the wonderland they were during the beta stage. News as this even make me wanna spend more money on shop .
