== Design == === Matchmaking === * MMR gain and loss will now be adjusted accordingly if there is a high Rank/MMR disparity between your own Rank/MMR and either the highest or lowest player Rank/MMR on your own team. * 5-queue teams can no longer be matched with opposing teams that contain more than 1 solo queue player. * Therefore, the only options that 5-queue teams can be matched with are: ** 5-queue ** 4-queue + solo queue player ** 3-queue + 2-queue ** 2-queue + 2-queue + solo queue player === Leaver Strike System === * The Leaver Strike System will have significantly harsher punishments for leavers. ** Strike 1: A warning is issued to the Player in the form of a popup window. ** Strike 2: Player is unable to use matchmaking for 4 hours (up from 1 hour) ** Strike 3: Player is unable to use matchmaking for 4 hours ** Strike 4 and Above: Player is unable to use matchmaking for 24 hours (up from 10 hours) ** After 10 days without leaving a match, one strike is removed from the player's account. === User Interface === * In the appropriate UI windows, the "Yes/Accept" button is now on the left side, while the "No/Reject" button is now on the right side. === Report-A-Player (RAP) === * Submitting a report now requires a minimum of 1 character. ** Prevents empty reports from occurring and reduces the number of false reports submitted. == General == * Concede Votes ** Now requires 4 votes at the 15 minute mark (instead of the 25 minute mark) to pass the vote. ** Now requires only 3 votes at the 30 minute mark to pass the vote. * Pauses ** Time before enemy team can Unpause the game decreased from 60 seconds to 45 seconds. ** Maximum pause time per pause instance decreased from 10 minutes to 5 minutes. ** Max number of pause instances per team decreased from 3 to 2. * Gold Changes ** Melee Lane Creep Gold Bounty increased from 38-44 to 45-55. ** Ranged Lane Creep Gold Bounty increased from 38-47 to 45-55. ** Upgraded Lane Creep Gold Bounty decreased from 17-25 to 15-25. * Experience Changes ** Assist Experience Penalty increased from 0/0/10/30/50% to 0/0/20/40/60% for 1/2/3/4/5 real ally heroes within the Experience Proximity of the target. ** Unshared Experience bounty (worth 12 * the Killed Hero's level) when killing an enemy hero has been removed. *** Will not affect Casual Mode. === Heroes === ;{{hi|Apex}} * {{si|Apex|Decimate}} ** Damage decreased from 1/1.5/2/2.5x of your Attack Damage to 0.5/1/1.5/2x of your Attack Damage. ;{{hi|Arachna}} * {{si|Arachna|Precision}} ** 120 bonus Attack Damage limit removed. ;{{hi|Berzerker}} * {{si|Berzerker|Carnage}} ** Killing enemy heroes while Carnage is active will now extend Carnage's duration by 5 seconds. ;{{hi|Emerald Warden}} * {{si|Emerald Warden|Overgrowth}} ** Cooldown reduced from 6 seconds to 5 seconds. ;{{hi|Engineer}} * {{si|Engineer|Energy Field}} ** Entering and exiting the Energy Field now deals 90 Magic Damage. *** Was dealing 100 True Damage only upon entering the field (and not upon exiting the field) before this change. ** No longer a controllable unit (and therefore will not break its behaviour when Multi-Unit Assist is enabled when Engineer stops attacking). ** Visual size of Energy Field's turret attack projectiles are now larger and slightly slower. ** {{ii|Staff of the Master}} effects: *** Now has 800 Cast Range.

She's certain that by covering all of Newerth with the goofy googly eyes, slappy tongues and gorgeous green, she'll bring so much joy to the streets that no one will want to fight anymore. That fact that any rival gangs (and maybe a few Punks) would want to slash her precious froggies is completely baffling to her, and just further proof that they need more cutie patootie frogs in their lives. * New Punks of Newerth {{hi|Doctor Repulsor}} Avatar: {{hi|Punk Dr. Repulsor|Punk Repulsor}} :'' Punk Repulsor is the tastemaker for this pack of wild artists, constantly searching for inspirations that will bring about the next hot flavor of graffiti for her crew. Drifting down streets and alleys in her tag chariot, she slashes any pieces she deems unworthy of Newerth's glorious canvas -- even if they came from a Punk -- and highlights the masterpieces worth preserving. The Punks are naturally drawn to her electrifying energy, and when she spots a rival artist with potential to become a Punk, she uses her magnetic personality to draw them close for a private chat. Depending on how that goes, her recruits either join the Punks of Newerth or end up a beautiful splatter on the wall. * New Punks of Newerth TP Effect :'' Tag the map end-to-end with the epic Punks of Newerth TP Effect! === General === * New {{hi|Soulstealer}} Avatar: {{hi|Soulchiller}} :'' The prevailing theory among those who dwell in the Frost Fields is that death by hypothermia is somewhat peaceful: you're freezing, then you feel an overwhelming sense of warmth and sleepiness, then you simply fade away. The major flaw with this assumption is that everyone who completes the process is dead and cannot confirm or refute the details. The Soulchiller of the Frost Fields is more than happy to perpetuate this belief, for when her freezing victims see her beautiful form approaching with her playful, mischievous snowflake fairies, they think she brings rescue with her. In truth, her lovely visage conceals an elemental daemon who freezes the exterior of her victims so she can drain their essence at her leisure. Her prey may look like they've simply frozen to death -- perhaps even peacefully -- but inside they are screaming in agony as she slowly extracts their soul. == Bug Fixes & Optimizations == === General === * Disconnecting from the Chat Server no longer kicks you out of the picking screen. === Heroes === ;{{hi|Accursed}} * {{hi|Sub Zero Accursed}}'s visual attack animation is now synchronized properly with the actual attack impact. ;{{hi|Chronos}} * Chronos unintentionally had extra stats in the previous patch. His stats are now properly set to the following values: ** '''Base Strength''': 22 ** '''Strength gain per level''': 1.4 ** '''Base Agility''': 20 ** '''Agility gain per level''': 2.8 ** '''Movement Speed''': 300 ;{{hi|Engineer}} * {{hi|Troika}}'s {{si|Engineer|Steam Turret}} and {{hi|Mangler}}'s {{si|Engineer|Energy Field}} no longer produce obnoxious sound effects. ;{{hi|Fayde}} * {{si|Fayde|Shadow Walk}} now orderdisjoints. ** Prevents previously queued-up single target spells from bypassing Shadow Walk's single-target immunity. ;{{hi|Goldenveil}} * {{si|Goldenveil|Perch & Plunge}} activations are now properly disabled when Goldenveil is Immobilized. ;{{hi|Prophet}} * Automated Courier & Emote usage will no longer reduce the lifetime of {{si|Prophet|Raven Form}}. ;{{hi|Solstice}} * {{si|Solstice|Shining Rays}} ({{si|Solstice|Illuminate}}, daytime) will no longer display its visual effects for the enemy team if Solstice is stealthed & the enemy team does not Reveal Solstice. ;{{hi|Zephyr}} * {{si|Zephyr|Wind Shield}} now properly interacts with sources of True Strike. * {{si|Zephyr|Wind Shield}} will no longer take effect against an enemy tower when attacking that enemy tower at melee range. === Items === ;{{ii|Dreamcatcher}} * Now properly dispels when damaged by enemies except for Lane Creeps (as opposed to dispelling when only taking damage from enemy heroes). * No longer triggers {{ii|Null Stone}} & other single-target spell negation sources. ** Instead, now bypasses them completely (like {{ii|Lex Talionis}}' behaviour). ;{{ii|Soultrap}} * Now properly dispels when damaged by enemies except for Lane Creeps (as opposed to dispelling when only taking damage from enemy heroes). * No longer triggers {{ii|Null Stone}} & other single-target spell negation sources. ** Instead, now bypasses them completely (like {{ii|Lex Talionis}}' behaviour). ;{{ii|Twin Blades}} * Cooldown is now reset if the second attack is not attempted. ** Example: if your attack target dies before the second attack is attempted.
