Player Spectating
Can now join a friend's game in progress and watch from their point of view!
No delay on this, your camera is locked to the view of the specific person you are watching

Same as Player Spectating (View), except you have special functions
Holding Right Mouse Button will show your mouse to your Mentee
CTRL+Enter will message your Mentee or Mentor
Holding X will let you have voice chat with only your Mentor or Mentee


You can also ping your Mentee's Minimap screen as a Mentor


Matchmaking Rework


The "Average Wait Time" displayed when waiting for a match should now be much more accurate based on the groups settings.


The game lobby and hero select screens now show match gain/loss values with more precision.


Greatly improved the rating algorithm to better predict match outcomes and place players into fairer matches. (Too much to mention here)


Optimizations to the matchmaking and MMR rating algorithm that should result in reduced queue times for all players.


Improved accuracy of match gains/loss values, players will now have their MMR adjusted according to their group makeup, their recent match history and fairness of the match. (As well as other factors not mentioned)


Introduced a "Provisional Ranking Period" for new players that will facilitate adjusting them to their true skill level (whether higher or lower) much faster than before.


Group leaders can now select whether they prefer to have a shorter queue time or a fairer match when queueing for matchmaking, this option cam be changed without leaving the matchmaking queue.


Players with team members who have been terminated should lose less points for their loss, and gain more points for a win.


The minimum PSR/MMR has been increased from 750 to 1000.


All players will have their ranked (normal + casual) MMR compressed towards 1500. (For example a 1750 score would become (1750 + 1500) / 2 = 1625)


Hero Spotlights will now automatically pop up the first time you enter the game after a new one is posted


Caldavar significantly updated


New Trees for both Hellbourne and Legion side


Ambient Sounds


Water changed significantly and updated, now has realtime reflections and flows down the river


New Lane Creeps for both Hellbourne and Legion

La S2 non si smentisce mai

We will be taking down everything ingame (Chatserver, Servers, Login, Store) at around 1 AM EST. We expect the downtime to last at most an hour to 90 minutes. We are hoping for a lot less. This downtime will let us do the PSR compression, give out Grandfather Chronos, and get the patch up and working. When you get to log back in, 2.5 will be available. We will put the patch notes up at some point during the downtime. Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE 1:37 AM:

 We are having significant networking/hardware issues and are having delays at this point. We have had problems with our ISP throughout the night and our upload speed is significantly slowed. We will let you know ASAP what is going on.


 UPDATE 2:01 AM:

Sorry everyone, we are not patching tonight. The technical problems we have are out of our hands and we have tried everything. It is unworkable at this point with 300kbps upload.  We hope to patch as soon as we get someone to fix it, we will keep you posted on any decisions or changes.

 Enjoy your weekend. Apologizes again.
