FairPlay
FairPlay is our system that detects, warns, suspends players who consistently leave, AFK, or intentionally lose. If you get an alert without leaving, AFKing, or intentionally losing, post in our Help & Support forums.
Web Host Upgrade
We're in the process of changing/upgrading our web host to improve longterm uptime and stability. During the process, there will be some temporary downtime.
Client Updates
XP/Currency
- Implemented XP/Currency boosts
Matchmaking
- Fixed a rare bug where a player would be kicked back into the lobby after joining a match
- Now waits longer to find fairer matches and match you with players closer to your skill level. High-rated players may notice slightly longer queue times.
- In the future, we plan to add an option that allows you to select a preference between “fast queues” and “fair games”
Stability
- Fixed some crash issues (Added Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 to Steam dependencies list)
Game Updates
Pathing & Targeting
- Ranged units are less likely to rush forward
Stuck Units
- After 180 seconds, stuck units now warp directly on top of the King, to ensure they don't get stuck again
Deploying Fighters
- You can now press ESC to cancel from placing a fighter
Wave Info
- Now shows recommended types for arcane waves
- Now shows wave #
- Improved tooltips
Mastermind
- Fixed a rare bug where you would receive fewer than 9 fighter choices (added a failsafe to reroll if this happens)
Debug Mode
- Typing "-start" no longer gives mythium on wave 1
- Typing "-reset" or "-wave" will now properly update workers vs. 2x workers
Game Balance
Fighter Aggro
- When a fighter is aggro’d, all fighters in that lane are now aggro’d
This change allows you to deploy fighters far back without worrying about them failing to aggro. It also affects “delays” for cross - instead of having 3 points of delay, consider having 1 point.
Haste
- Attack speed decreased to 8% from 12% (was bugged to be 12% in v1.61 even though the tooltip said 10%)
- Now gains 1 stack for the middle lane and 2 stacks (3 total) for leaked units
King
- Now slightly weaker early game and slightly stronger late game
- Now slightly stronger against large leaks
-- Health now scales from 5,000 → 103,000 from 6,000 → 106,800
-- Damage now scales from 50 → 1030 from 60 → 1068
-- Judgment area-of-effect damage now scales from 70 → 1442 from 70 → 1246
