GENERAL UPDATES[]

  • Base hero gold bounty increased from 120 + L*8 to 125 + L*8 where L = hero level

  • Reworked XP streak formula
    • Old:
      • Streak XP = 10(x-1) * L, where x = current streak and L = hero level
    • New:
      • Streak XP= ( x^2 - x + 8) * L, where x = current streak and L = hero level
    • Streak bounty goes from
      • 20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90 * L
    • to
      • 14/20/28/38/50/64/80/98 * L


  • Cooldown reduction now stacks diminishingly
  • Moved the Bounty Runes from the triangle to the primary jungle

  • Attack and armor types are now represented through abilities. Most damage remains unchanged with a few exceptions in creep vs creep and creep vs tower situations

    • Added new ability: Reinforced icon Reinforced. Reinforced units deal 150% bonus damage to other Reinforced units and reduce damage received from heroes by 50% and from non-hero units by 30%

  • Neutral creep base attack time has been increased to 2 and base attack speed has been adjusted to compensate. The main implication is that neutral creeps are more resilient versus attack speed slow
