Lots of major changes for Heroes of Newerth!
It has been over a week since our last patch and seeing as it is 0.1.50, we figured we would do a bit extra. We are gunning for this to be quite a large patch and to change a few things about how you guys play. It will still be a bit of time from now, but hopefully we will get a test client build up in the next few days. Hopefully.
Here is a short “work in progress” list of what you should see in the next major build.
Matchmaking
Version 1
The first version of matchmaking will allow solo players to queue into the automatic Ranked Play system, putting 10 players of equal skill together and then starting the game. We will enhance this as time goes on to include full teams, partial teams, etc, but for now we want to make sure the groundwork is in place.
More details on this as we get closer to releasing it, but keep an eye on the test client for the first iteration of Matchmaking.
Two New Heroes
You will see the debut of Vindicator and Rampage in this patch. Reinforcements for the Legion.
New Game Modes
Look for the addition of Captain picking and Banning in a HoN game near you!
New Post-Game Stats Screen
A great and smooth new way to see the stats after a game ends and the stats of any game you have played in the past.
Stats Reset and PSR scaling
When we release this patch we plan to reset everyone's stats back to zero and scale everyone's PSR to compensate for the changes we have made to the system. Details about this will come soon.
Hero and Item Balance Tweaks
As always, we are tweaking and changing the item and hero balance to improve gameplay for both the casual player and the competitive pro.
Holiday Celebrations
