Notes[edit]

  • Some of you will complain regarding some of these balance changes. Generally AoE and long disables saw some form of a nerf. Most Heroes that were nerfed saw a buff somewhere else. For the most part this is power redistribution. You'll just have to trust me that they are for the best. After a tweak or two, it will result in a considerably more balanced and enjoyable game. You shouldn't expect many other large scale tweaks like this, so you can now start focusing on perfecting builds and matchup strats for the leagues that are starting soon. After a version or two, to iron out any issues that come up, I recommend leagues use -lm for competitive gaming.
  • From a survey i did, at least 75% liked the new terrain and 25% liked the older, from that 25%, at least 3/4 of them changed their minds a few games, so give it a few tries before judging it.
  • Thanks to Plastic.Angel for his help on the new terrain, Naz for the Map Picture (and PitzerMike helping us convert it), Zetta for many suggestions, and Terrorblaze for the base Aphotic Shield (EdwardSwolenToe for the model import) concept.
  • Extra thanks for the Beta testers for extra testing in this version.
