Player Appreciation[ | ]

Continuing with our Player Appreciation here are the new set effects that will be going into this patch. Remember, since we are changing/adding effects to some of our older sets, all of the avatars associated with the changed sets will become available for a short period of time (yes, even Golds, EAs, and Debuts).

    • The Gold Chest contents will be swapped out from December 1st to December 15th.

Matchmaking Maps & Modes[ | ]

We have had many suggestions for a mode that would allow players to counter hero picks by alternating hero selection between teams, rather than everyone picking at the same time (All Pick). We are putting Counter Pick in for a short time to see how you enjoy it compared to the current All Pick method. Please leave feedback on our forums and let us know if this is something you would want on a regular basis.
  • This mode will replace All Pick from 12/1/15 to 12/8/15.
  • Single Draft
  • Balanced Random

The Paragons[ | ]

The Paragons are a faction of ancient, elemental guardians from the isolated Isle of Argentia. They embody the wisdom, emotion, and power of the earth, and the flesh of each Paragon has been overtaken by veins of crystals that hold a strong connection to the planet. They have refused to enter the wars among Man, Beast, and Daemon for fear that if captured, their bodies could be used as conduits to feed death and corruption directly into the earth.
But with King Jeraziah driven to the brink of his faith and needing someone to counter the self-righteous destruction of the URSA Corps, he summons The Paragons, knowing that once they see the state of Newerth they will be forced to join the fight against the Hellbourne as well.
Paragon Upgrades
  • Each Paragon avatar can be upgraded up to 5 times by acquiring upgrades.
  • Upgrades will become available in the Paragon Chest in Plinko after you own the respective Paragon Avatar.
The ancient Lapis Lazuli Paragon is the embodiment of higher intellect and honed mental abilities, and he has devoted these skills to unearthing the true essence of every man, beast, daemon, and spirit he encounters. None can sustain a veil of lies or dishonesty when judged by his crystals, and if they are revealed as a threat to his home or fellow Paragons the sentence is swift and without pity.

Winter Holidays[ | ]

New Holiday Kane Kane Avatar: Candy Kane Candy Kane

Candy Kane wants everyone to celebrate the holidays as awesomely as he does, but he sometimes has a hard time controlling his enthusiasm and overwhelming strength of spirit. If he sees you bringing any bah humbug attitude to the party, he’ll pull you aside for a little one-on-one time so you can really appreciate how great candy canes are, especially when they aren't bashing your head in.

New Holiday Andromeda Andromeda Avatar: Christmas Lights Andromeda Christmas Lights Andromeda

It’s time to decorate Newerth in lots of bright pretty lights and Andromeda has taken to the tradition like a Pyromancer to fire... almost. Turns out she isn’t very good at untangling the Christmas lights, so be on the lookout for flying comets of pent-up holiday cheer. If you’ve got a plate of cookies and the patience to help her out, she’ll happily trade places with you and maybe even make you one of her Christmas sweaters. They’re very...festive.

New Holiday Riptide Riptide Avatar: Yuletide Yuletide

The northern pagan tribes of the Frost Fields still celebrate Yuletide despite disapproval from Arasunia and the Church of Sol, but it’s easy for those Martyrs and Sisters of Sol to dismiss the winter holiday from afar. When the ancient Yuletide creature emerges from the frozen waters looking to share holiday cheer, it is best to have your home strung with holly, ivy, and boughs of evergreen and a handmade gift ready for exchange. This is because Yuletide has a much darker, more dangerous side—the reason his worshipers and holiday have survived while others have not.

New Holiday Rhapsody Rhapsody Avatar: Christmas Carol Christmas Carol

Carry the holiday hymns and melodies throughout the lanes with Christmas Carol, who protects her fellow carolers as gracefully and tenaciously as her priceless vocal cords. Caroling etiquette is strictly enforced, so know the lyrics, stick together in the jungle, and if you enjoyed the song, show some harping appreciation!

New Holiday Amun-Ra Amun-Ra Avatar: Bask in My Presents Ra Bask in My Presents Ra

Every year around the holidays the giving spirit is ignited within Amun-Ra and he is reborn from an abomination of all that is light and holy into a delightful example of generosity and giving. Delightful, that is, as long as you accept his gifts with an appreciative smile no matter what’s inside. And don’t bother asking for a gift receipt. Ra burned them all.

POGs[ | ]

These high-definition skins will be released one-per-patch and will be available via the store, Plinko, or both, depending upon the region.

Bug Fixes & Optimizations[ | ]

General[ | ]
