Gameplay

Hero Respawn Times

Hero Respawn Times have been reduced overall and made to be more dependent on hero level. 

• Base respawn time is now 3 seconds instead of 2 at level one, increasing by 3 seconds instead of 2 for every hero level plus 20% instead of 140% of the current game time in minutes, with a minimum respawn time of 6 seconds and a maximum spawn time of 78 seconds.

Lane Minions

Lane minions will now respond more fairly to ranged heroes harassing opponents in lane.

• Lane Minion aggro range increased from 1000 to 1450. 
• Aggro duration also increased from 2 seconds to 3 seconds. 
• Lane Minions now consider towers and enemy lane minions the same priority. Lane minions will no longer switch from attacking a structure to attacking enemy lane minions.
• Lane Minion attacks will now always go through if they get within range of a target. Previously, their attacks would be interrupted if their target went outside of their targeting range while attacking.

Pushing Advantage

The pushing advantage is being re-implemented after some issues were fixed, causing the effect to previously not be removed from minions once they received it. Additionally, this effect would compound for each subsequent advantage they would gain. The advantage should now be in effect, producing a very mild advantage in the vast majority of cases. 

Shadow Plane

• Visual and sound effects added for when players enter and leave the shadow plane.
• Additional visual effects added while in the shadow plane.

‍

NEW: Fountain Birth

• Fountain Birth and Fountain Spring are being introduced to help incentive early game aggression and warding and to reduce travel times in the later half of matches.
• Heroes gain 100% bonus movement speed for 15 seconds when leaving the Fountain for the first time within the first 60 seconds of the match. Can only occur once. Using abilities or dealing or receiving damage removes the effect.

‍

NEW: Fountain Spring

• Heroes gain 50-100% bonus movement speed that decays over 8 seconds when leaving the Fountain after the 20 minute mark. Using abilities or receiving or dealing damage removes this effect and prevents you from receiving it for 10 seconds.

‍

Jump Pads

• Jump pads are now active until the 20 minute mark or until your first T2 tower is destroyed.

‍

Cinematics

• A 'Core Destroyed' cinematic will now play when the game ends.

‍

Ability Decals

• Ability decals have been updated to be more visually appealing. The outside of the decal will now change colour depending on whether the ability belongs to an enemy or allied hero.

‍
