BALANCE LIVE WITH THE 10.9 UPDATE

    • Capped MMR 3500 players will be reset to 3000, and this effect gets proportionally weaker down the MMR Scale. Players close to 1500 will notice only a very slight reset. 
    • Masters and GM Will be reset to Diamond 1
    • All other Ranks will retain their current rank, and it will update after the first match depending on their new MMR after a win or loss + the reset. 
  • Additional time for game start

    • Arena: From 45s to 60s
    • Joust: From 60s to 70s
    • Assault: From 45s to 60s
    • Slash: From 75s to 85s 

Game Modes – Conquest

Year 10 Season 4 Conquest provides an expansion on the existing Stygian Beacon and Unleashed Titan mechanics. The capture point style objective has been a positive addition to the mode, creating new opportunities for teams to contest objectives or allowing teams that are behind to find moments to farm. By introducing a second loop and changing the reward, it also shifts some of the focus making the objective continuously more important for the late-game

Shaman camps and Spirit totems provide a new twist on the time tested jungle buff collection mechanic. These randomized empowerment effects allow for minor variations in each game and a new type of player choice. There is always the safe option that you can rely on and invading is not a heavy penalty but denying experience and farm is always a valid choice.

Finally the new Fire Giant pit and surrounding Jungle layout will be unlike previous iterations. The open area allows for more movement in a previously closed off setting. There are a lot more ambush and steal opportunities and generally a new way to play around an old objective.

Art Update – A Celebration of Conquest

  • The Season of Celebration visits the Conquest map with uplifting spirits! There are sweeping updates to the visual representation of the map seen primarily in the foliage and set dressing. The Fire Giant pit has gone through an overhaul in gameplay and in visuals as well. The Underworld is behind and beneath the gods as they are lifted back into the light

Geometry Changes

  • The Fire Giant pit has been completely revamped! Previously it was more closed off but now the walls have been broken and a new arena has emerged with much more open space
  • The geometry around the Fire Giant pit has been transformed with several smaller walls shifting location and size
  • The Fire Giant Mid Harpy camp has been repositioned on the opposite wall, closer to the Fire Giant pit
    • This continues to be the location of the Pyromancer as well
  • There is a new tight corridor behind the Fire Giant pit and the Scorpion camp

New Jungle Feature – Shaman Camp and Spirit Totems

  • This unique jungle camp replaces the back Harpy camp between the Red and Blue buff camps on the Fire Giant side of the map
  • After an initial Harpy camp spawn, the next 5 respawns at this location are Shaman camps
    • After all 5 have been cleared, the rotation returns back to Harpies only
    • Camp respawn timer remains at 120s
  • Each Shaman camp contains a Shaman leader and 2 Shaman guards
    • The Shaman leader is imbued with a Spirit power, that when defeated, creates new Spirit Totems infused with the power of the leader defeated
  • Notes

    • Shaman leader rotations are random each game however will always be the same rotation for both Order and Chaos sides
    • Invading and killing a Shaman leader will still provide the enemy team the corresponding Spirit Totem as usual
  • Shaman leader stats

    • Base Health: 600

Conquest Balance

There has been a lot of change this year in both the strength of the map objectives and also player power itself. One thing that has been a constant trend is the slight increase in game time, getting to a point where Conquest matches can get a little longer than might feel good. Snowball and comeback mechanics are the key mechanism driving these changes and ones that we have been acutely aware of with each shift. The goal for the following changes are to slightly decrease the comeback gold gained for the Cyclops Chests as well as shifting rewards towards the contestable map objectives, both areas that we have previously tweaked with and found successful in doing so.

  • Cyclops Chests
    • Decreased Gold deficit gained per chest from 1.0% to 0.8%
  • Fire Giant
    • Increased scaling XP Gold Reward from 5 to 8
    • Increased scaling Team Gold Reward from 6 to 9
  • Pyromancer
    • Increased scaling XP Gold Reward from 3 to 5
    • Increased scaling Team Gold Reward from 3 to 5
  • Oracles
    • Reduced respawn time from 2 min to 1.5 min
    • Reduced Oracle vision from 1.5m to 1m
  • Shield Buff Scorpion (Duo Lane)
    • Increased scaling Gold Reward from 2 to 4
  • Cooldown Buff Scorpion (Solo Lane)
    • Increased scaling Gold Reward from 2 to 4
  • Red Buff Holder
    • Decreased base XP Reward from 136 to 130
    • Decreased base Gold Reward from 60 to 50
  • Red Buff Guard (Mini)
    • Decreased base Gold Reward from 22 to 18
