Greetings, Leaguers! This is GM XiangYu, the Herald of the League!
The next massive update is about to come! Let me deliver our developer's note:
=========================================================
2.6.0 Developer's Note
The League's 3rd Season is about to end.
Season 4 will come with...
1) The new Season reward skin
- Gladiator Ax
2) The number of Ironsides Tier Rankers lowered
- Previously, TOP 30 players
- After the patch, TOP 20 players
3) Lesser AI matches
We lowered the chance of Leaguers being matched with AI players(a.k.a. bots). However, if the matchmaking takes too long, you may still be matched with them.
New Contents
1) Lucky Roulette
Spin the Roulette every day for the free reward!
- One free spin a day
- Additional 1 spin available per 10 gameplay (1 spin max)
- Additional 1 spin available when you praise 10 players (1 spin max)
※ The two types of "Additional Spin Missions" count separately.
2) Portraits
Portrait icons added!
- 7 icons are given free (2 basic icons & 5 ironside acquirement mission rewards)
- You can change your portrait by clicking the icon in the main lobby.
- More icons will be added in the future.
Changes & Improvements
1) Gameplay
- In the Dragon's Grave, the minions enhanced by the Guardian Golem buff will have a visual effect
- When you restart the client, the runepage used in the last game will stay applied in the next one:
Currently, the runepage always locks up to the first runepage as a default setting when you restart the game. For your convenience, we made the runepage be set to the one you used in the last round of game.
- During the game, Ironsides will not stop moving anymore when you use item's active skills or spells
※Additional improvement: Tristan will not stop moving anymore when he uses his skills.
- "Display of in-game items purchased" option enabled
- When you check the Ironside's stats in the character display screen, you will be able to check the default stats (stats without any runepage applied)
- Team matching UX improved:
Until now, Leaguers had to press the small button separated from the game mode tabs to assemble a party. We decided that this was not an intuitive design. As a result, we eliminated this button and allowed users to directly enter the preparation lobby where they can invite party members.
- Upper scoreboard's enemy status display deleted & When enemies are not in your sight, their status will not be updated:
We concluded that showing the enemy's HPs and other current status harmed the strategic gameplay of our game. So we decided not to show them anymore.
- On the in-game scoreboard, the character's respawn countdown will be displayed
- In Gumpert Research Facility, the ally T-8s will attack minions, too:
Originally the T-8 ignored the minions, and they followed T-8 to attack it. As a result, a huge wave of enemy minions was formed after T-8 was destroyed on lanes. In other words, destroying T-8 worked more like a penalty rather than the advantage. So, we allowed T-8 to respond to the enemy minions and attack them.
- You can whisper to your friends directly from your Friend list:
It was irritating to always type in the friend's ID to whisper, so we made the whisper system more convenient and fast.
- Boatang will stop its auto-repairment when its HP is full.
- [PC version] Ironside skill's instant use are disabled in its default setting.
※This is only applied to the users who install the client for the first time. Other users' settings will remain the same.
- [PC version] You can change the chat channel(Lobby/Whisper/Guild) with TAB button
- [Mobile version] 2220*1080 Resolution supported
2) Balance

= Super-electronic Blast
Cooldown: 50 -> 45
- San & Kip
= San's Q skill (Explosive Shell) and Kip's W skill (Pleasant Surprise!) gave them killcounts even when that skill didn't actually kill the enemy. We fixed the glitch in this update.
= The two Ironsides's targeting was canceled when they used skills. We fixed this glitch also.
Map
- Gold reward for killing jungle creeps will be shared among teammates
- Gold reward for line minions decreased
- Super minions of the Ast temple are enhanced:
Like T-8, the super-minions worked more like a penalty to the team who destroyed the suppressor first. It was because they were too weak and gave a lot of gold to the opponents. As a result, we enhanced the super minions.
