Design[ | ]
Staff of the Master Staff of the Master & Master's Legacy Master's Legacy Changes[ | ]

Armadon Armadon

_______________________________________________

Balphagore Balphagore

Balphagore Hell on Newerth Hell on Newerth

  • Staff of the Master Staff of the Master effect changes (to pre-existing):
    • Radius decreased from 1000 to 800.
    • No longer decreases base ability cooldown.
+ Balphagore becomes a little too oppressive after obtaining Staff of the Master.
+ Mitigating the benefits of the radius increase and removing the cooldown reduction removes the overloaded benefits from obtaining Staff of the Master.

_______________________________________________

Bombardier Bombardier

Bombardier Air Strike Air Strike!

  • Staff of the Master Staff of the Master effect changes (to pre-existing):
    • Damage type changed from Magic Damage to Superior Magic Damage.

_______________________________________________

    • Total damage absorbed reduced from 0.75/0.95/1.15/1.35 to 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05x Mana consumed.

Electrician Cleansing Shock Cleansing Shock

    • Damage type changed from Magic to Superior Magic.
    • Cooldown increased from 60 seconds to 80 seconds.
+ For context, Wretched Hag's Bat Blast (when not boosted by Staff of the Master) has been changed from Superior Magic to Magic.
+ These changes will be listed further down in the patch notes.

_______________________________________________

Heroes (Balance)[ | ]

Armadon Armadon

Armadon Snot Storm Snot Storm

  • Maximum charges increased from 4 to 5.

Armadon Spine Burst Spine Burst

  • Damage increased from 20/40/60/80 to 25/45/65/85.

Armadon Restless Restless

  • Passively increases the stacking damage of Spine Burst per charge from 4/8/12 to 10/14/16.
+ Armadon outputs a decent amount of damage in the early game, but tapers off a little too quickly when mid/late game arrives.
+ These changes (combined with the Staff of the Master changes to Snot Storm) allow him to keep up in damage for the mid/late game phase.

_______________________________________________

Balphagore Balphagore

Balphagore Hell on Newerth Hell on Newerth

  • Volatile Minion's Attack Damage reduced from 25/45/85 - 30/50/90 to a flat 20/40/80.

_______________________________________________

Electrician Electrician

  • Intelligence gain per level decreased from 1.8 to 1.5.

Electrician Electric Shield Electric Shield

  • Shield Health reduced from 0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2x Mana spent to 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05x Mana spent.
+ Electrician's survivability from Electric Shield was too high for a large portion of the game. This change dampens his survivability to a more reasonable power level.

_______________________________________________

Fayde Fayde

Fayde Cull Cull

  • Now spawns an uncontrollable illusion of each enemy hero hit for 3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds that deals 10/12/14/16% of the target's Attack Damage.
    • Illusions receive 350% damage.
    • Target is Sighted and Revealed for this duration.

Fayde Burning Shadows Burning Shadows

  • Target is now also Revealed while the Shadow Copy is active.
+ Fayde's illusion spawning mechanic has proven to be an excellent counterpick in niche situations (e.g., against Magebane).
+ Having Fayde spawn more illusions through Cull rewards her just a little bit more for its close range requirement, while also helping Fayde scale just a little bit better through the mid/late game.

_______________________________________________

Forsaken Archer Forsaken Archer

Forsaken Archer Split Fire Split Fire

  • Secondary arrows damage reduced from 25/35/45/55% to 15/25/35/45%.

Forsaken Archer Piercing Arrows Piercing Arrows

  • Magic Damage per arrow reduced from 85/135/185 to 75/125/175.

_______________________________________________

Goldenveil Goldenveil

Goldenveil Perch Perch & Plunge

  • Now sets the Perch cooldown to 1.75/1.5/1.25/1 second(s) upon taking non-DoT damage from enemy heroes/player-controlled units.
  • While perching, Stun duration to self increased from 1 second to 2 seconds (if the tree he is perching on is destroyed).
+ Goldenveil is a frustrating hero to play against, and is often too slippery to punish if you don't have the correct tools to cut down the tree he is perching on.
+ These changes force the Goldenveil player to manually jump off a tree (by issuing a Move command), and also better punishes Goldenveil for being perched on a tree at the wrong time.

_______________________________________________

Hammerstorm Hammerstorm

Hammerstorm Hammer Throw Hammer Throw

  • Mana cost decreased from 140 to 105/110/115/120.
  • Stun duration rescaled from 2 seconds to 1.9/2/2.1/2.2 seconds.
  • Cooldown rescaled from 13 seconds to 15/14/13/12 seconds.

Hammerstorm Galvanize Galvanize

  • Grants 1/2/3/4 Armor to allies for 5 seconds upon activation.
    • This effect does not apply to Hammerstorm.

Hammerstorm Mighty Swing Mighty Swing

  • Splash amount increased from 20/30/40/50% to 30/40/50/60%.

Hammerstorm Brute Strength Brute Strength

  • Bonus Base Damage increased from 50/100/150% to 80/115/150%.
+ These changes will put Hammerstorm more in line with other melee carry heroes.

_______________________________________________

Hellbringer Hellbringer

  • Initial Intelligence increased from 20 to 24.
  • Starting Attack Damage increased from 47-57 to 49-59.
    • Even though Hellbringer is getting his Intelligence increased by 4 additional points, the overall base damage will only be increased by 2 damage to be more consistent with other INT heroes.

Hellbringer Demon Strike Demon Strike

  • Mana cost reduced from 100 to 70/80/90/100.

Hellbringer Demonic Wave Demonic Wave

  • Mana cost reduced from 100/120/140/160 to 90/110/130/150.

Hellbringer Evil Presence Evil Presence

  • Cast Range increased from 800 to 1200.
+ Hellbringer's kit is a little too mana-intensive, so the changes here allow him to use his spells just a little more liberally.
+ Increasing the range of Evil Presence allows Hellbringer to aim the skill from a safer distance - Hellbringer is just a little too fragile to comfortably cast Evil Presence without the Cast Range increase.

_______________________________________________

Magebane Magebane

  • Base Strength reduced from 22 to 20.

Magebane Mana Combustion Mana Combustion

  • Mana Burn reduced from (15/20/25/30 + 3/4/5/6% of target's Maximum Mana) to (10/16/23/30 + 2.4/3.6/4.8/6% of the target's Maximum Mana).

Magebane Flash of Anti-Magic Flash of Anti-Magic

  • Magic Damage reduced from 35/55/75/95 to 15/35/55/75.
  • Movement Speed Slow reduced from 20/25/30/35% to 17/23/29/35%.
+ Mana Combustion and Flash of Anti-Magic now have reduced effectiveness at levels 1 and 2. This will result in less "free" damage upon blinking & hitting an enemy hero in the laning phase.
+ These changes (combined with the base Strength reduction) will help ensure that Magebane has more counterplay and less overall effectiveness at early levels in the laning phase, while still being able to excel in the mid game.

_______________________________________________

Martyr Martyr

Martyr Hand in Hand Hand in Hand

  • Cast range increased from 600 to 700.

_______________________________________________

Nitro Nitro

  • Attack Range decreased from 600 to 575.

Nitro Ballistic Ballistic

  • Magic Damage per shrapnel decreased from 7/14/21/28 to 6/12/18/24.

Nitro Blast Off Blast Off

  • Changed the interaction of the ability: instead of binding affected enemies to a projectile, the effect was replaced by a push.
    • Instead of Stunning affected enemies, it now Silences, Immobilizes and Disarms them for 0.75 seconds.
    • No longer blasts targets over objects, trees or cliffs. If the target hits a wall, tree or a cliff, it will not be pushed past it.

Nitro Three's a Crowd Three's a Crowd

  • Bonus Movement speed increased from 30/60/90/120 to 40/75/110/145.

Nitro Overdrive Overdrive

  • Cast Range decreased from 600 to 575.
+ These changes make Nitro's damage output a little more manageable in the laning phase.
+ Changing the mechanical behaviour of Blast Off also allows additional counterplay against Nitro through the use of Homecoming Stone or Post Haste.

_______________________________________________

Nymphora Nymphora

Nymphora Volatile Pod Volatile Pod

  • Magic Damage & Heal Buildup reduced from Base of 40 + 40/60/80/100 per second to Base of 40 + 30/50/70/90 per second.
  • Potential maximum Magic Damage/heal reduced from 160/220/280/340 to 130/190/250/310.

_______________________________________________

Pearl Pearl

Pearl Asphyxiate Asphyxiate

  • Magic Damage on the bubble explosion increased from 80/140/160/180 to 100/150/180/210.

Pearl Soothing Presence Soothing Presence

  • Passive Health Regeneration per hero increased from 0.8/1.2/1.6/2.0 to 1.2/1.6/2/2.4.
  • Leap range increased from 600 to 600/675/750/825.

Pearl Preservation Preservation

  • Damage Reduction against enemies on the other side of the affected area increased from 30/50/70% to 45/60/75%.

_______________________________________________

Salomon Salomon

Salomon Wish for Wealth Wish for Wealth

  • Can be used on Neutral Creeps only when this ability is Level 2 or higher.
+ This change will disallow Salomon from jungling effectively between hero levels 1-2, which forces him to lane.
+ Salomon is still effective when he can secure farm against an enemy suicide lane, as his early gold advantage accelerates his snowball potential much more quickly than other carry heroes.

_______________________________________________

Tremble Tremble

  • Agility gain decreased from 2.8 to 2.2.
  • Strength gain decreased from 2.8 to 2.7.

_______________________________________________

Valkyrie Valkyrie

Valkyrie Valkyrie's Prism Valkyrie's Prism

  • Duration decreased from 18 seconds to 12/14/16 seconds.
  • Now grants assists to Valkyrie only when an affected allied hero kills an enemy hero only if Valkyrie is within 1700 range (as opposed to Globally).

_______________________________________________

Vindicator Vindicator

Vindicator Brain Drain Sage's Lore

  • Magic Damage increased from 85/140/195/250 to 95/150/205/260.

Vindicator Glyph of Silence Glyph of Silence

  • Totem takes 2 attacks to be destroyed (currently it lingers until it receives an attack).

_______________________________________________

War Beast War Beast

War Beast Metamorphosis Metamorphosis

  • Cooldown decreased from 115/95/70 seconds to 100/80/60 seconds.

_______________________________________________

Warchief Warchief

Warchief Warcry Warcry

  • Ability can no longer be dispelled or purged.
  • Duration decreased from from 12 seconds to 8/10/12 seconds.
  • Mana Cost increased from 100 to 100/150/200.
  • Cooldown increased from 140/110/80 seconds to 140/120/100 seconds.
+ Warchief's kit was made obsolete too often by abilities or items that purge Warcry.
+ While this weakness was removed, the ability did receive some other changes to better ensure that Warchief will not spiral out of control.
+ Time will tell if Warcry will require further adjustments in the future.

  • Changelog can now be viewed in-game.

Version 4.10.5[ | ]


20 January 2023

Project Notes[ | ]
  • Launcher is now the only way to receive new game updates, with downloads available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.


Matchmaking[ | ]
  • TMM balance update so that MMR difference between highest and lowest ranked player in a match won't exceed 250 points.

Version 4.10.2[ | ]


10 December 2022

Map[ | ]

Forests of Caldavar

  • The map has been redecorated for Winter by @HON OMG.
Heroes[ | ]

Magebane Magebane

  • Strength gain per level increased from 2.5 to 2.6.
  • Base Strength increased from 21 to 22.

Magebane Flash of Anti-Magic Flash of Anti-Magic

  • Magic Damage Shield Health increased from 30/55/80/105 to 40/70/100/130.
  • No longer deals 30/55/80/105 Magic Damage to nearby enemies when the shield breaks from Magic Damage.
  • Now deals 35/55/75/95 Magic Damage in target radius after teleporting.
  • Movement Speed Slow increased from 15/20/25/30% to 20/25/30/35%.

Magebane Master of the Mantra Master of the Mantra

  • Attack Speed bonus granted to Magebane when attacking an enemy hero increased from 16/24/32/40 to 20/30/40/50.


+ Magebane was overnerfed in 4.10.1 due to the removal of burst damage on Flash of Anti-Magic, which was the only significant change that resulted in a large drop in win rate.
+ Giving him a small portion of burst damage on Flash of Anti-Magic will resolve most of his issues (along with reverting a few of the other nerfs).
+ This will allow Magebane to have a menacing (yet manageable) early game that largely dictates his success throughout the game.
Items[ | ]

Nihil Crystal Nihil Crystal

  • Cooldown reduced from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.
+ Nihil Crystal was not providing as impactful sustain as originally intended.
+ This change makes the item more comparable to that of similar laning phase sustain items, such as Mana Battery.

Version 4.10.1.10[ | ]


15 November 2022

General[ | ]
  • The ghastly spirits which have been haunting Newerth have dissipated into thin air. No longer being afraid to come out of their burrows, the antlores have cleaned up all the rotting pumpkins and brushed away the thick spiderwebs. Newerth has survived Halloween once again... until next year.
  • The ACD hack has been partially blocked.
  • The TMM queue status window width has been increased.
  • Fixed a LUA bug that caused players queueing on the AUTO region to be incorrectly put back in the queue even after finding a match, leading to those players being marked as leavers.
  • Fixed a missing category separator on the Game Vanity dropdown menu in the store.
  • Updated the launcher and the updater.

Version 4.10.1.8[ | ]


10 October 2022

General[ | ]
  • Forests of Caldavar and MidWars has been fully reworked for Halloween, courtesy of HON_OMG and whyzozerious.
  • A "Rename Account" option has been added to the store.
  • MidWars was re-added to the old UI. We apologise for accidentally removing the option.
  • Team Matchmaking is now displaying your place in the queue, and how many players you are currently matched with. This number is only an estimate and can fluctuate, but the lower your place in queue is, the more likely that you will find a match.
  • Team Matchmaking has been tweaked to relax the constrains after 20 and 30 minutes, at which point you are almost guaranteed to find a match (assuming there are 10 or more players in the queue). Rare exceptions apply where group sizes prevent a match from starting (e.g. 3 groups of 4 players will not form a match up despite having 12 players in queue).
  • AUTO region has been tuned to only start games on servers with less than 130ms ping.
  • Minor localization fixes.
