Greetings these early patch notes are brought to you by me cause waiting sucks. However since these are early patch notes if something doesn't or does make it into client it might of changed last minute.
Version 2.1.6
The current Free Heroes have changed. The current available list is:
Forsaken Archer
Arachna
Soul Reaper
Maliken
Madman
Legionnaire
Amun-Ra
Tundra
Pyromancer
Deadwood
Slither
Bubbles
Glacius
Jeraziah
Keeper of the Forest
Matchmaking groups are now persistent
After a match or when a game fails to be made you will still be in the same group you were in before for easy requeueing
Made some adjustments to the matchmaking algorithm that should match up groups with other groups much closer to their MMR value than before
Groups of 5 solo players will no longer be matched against a full group of 5 under any circumstances
Made several improvements to decrease the chances of players failing to load into a matchmaking games, especially for matchmaking groups with multiple players on one IP address that are behind overly strict routers/firewalls (causing grey circles)
Adjusted how the PSR/MMR calculations work slightly and put a low end cap of 750 PSR/MMR
Any players who are below this value will have their PSR/MMR adjusted up to 750 after the patch
Over the weekend we plan to turn on and test a new feature we've been working on: match stat re-submissions
If at any time a game server is unable to submit match stats properly at the end of the game, it will let players in game know that the match submission failed, and attempt to re-submit the stats from that match at a later time (normally within 15-30 minutes)
To those that have experienced frustration due to matches not being recorded in the past, we apologize. Moving forward we are taking serious action to mitigate this sort of occurrence from happening and want to thank everybody for their patience with us
When receiving an incoming whisper coming from ClanWhisper or BuddyWhisper the game client will no longer add the sender to the /reply history
This is to stop players from having a conversation, getting a clan or buddy whisper, typing /r and then realizing they sent the message to a person they didn't intend to
Fixed a crash with an unexpected format for JPEG custom account icons
Fixed projectiles stopping mid-air if the touch active schemes were invalid
Buildings in the bases now have 0 death time so they don't block movement after death
Current Health and Mana Regen are now shown on the right side of the bars
Touched up all of the Taunt voice responses in the game to be more clear and able to be heard well
Wards - Attacks will always hit wards now, no more uphill miss chance against them - Now have 4 max health, each hit takes off 1 health
Added a New Hero: Geomancer
Based off the Intelligence Community Contest Winner
Added a new Early Access Limited Edition Alt Avatar: Centipedalisk
Added a new Alt Avatar: Sub Zero Accursed
Added a new Taunt: Heavy Metal Taunt
Fixes to Monkey King so auto leveling his abilities through a Guide will work properly
