PATCHNOTES:

Overall, we've rebalanced the game's flow based on feedback. Shoutout SC Matrix for your input.

The game seemed to have too much EXP frontloaded into the first 3 minutes. This caused games to be swayed one way or the other really quickly. If one Pope got all the Exp for the first 3 minutes, it was basically over.

So we've reduced early game EXP in the following ways:

  1. First Dragon spawns later (7:30)

  2. Reduced the size of the map - top area gone

  3. Reduced number of Early Game Choir Boys (red imps) by 4

  4. Reduced the number of Molochs in early game

  5. Early Game Moloch is dead center of map, so it must be contested.

  6. Reduced EXP for killing players lower level than you.

We've Increased the late game XP:

  1. New "Catacomber" neutral - extremely strong melee, high EXP Neutral.

  2. New "Demon Skin" neutral - extremely strong melee, high EXP Neutral.

  3. More reasonable and spaced out neutral monsters, but still combat EVERYWHERE.

  4. Exp overall is boosted ~20%

  5. Late Game Neutral Monsters HP nerf -20%

NEW UI!
