Fix unintentional height nerf of Updraft.You know all those times where you swear you shouldn't have been hit? Those should hopefully be less!.The radius of Lightning Storm has been reduced slightly to better match visuals (600cm → 575cm).Toxic puddles that have been lit on fire can now be extinguished by Ice Lance or Flash Freeze.This make TP much smoother to use, especially when it made no sense why it was calling the target invalid.Increased height of line-of-sight check for Teleport rune destination, making “Invalid Target” failures less frequent.Instead of preventing it entirely, we've slowed the rate of ascent (not lateral movement) to keep things from going too sky high. Going (straight) up with Flight is becoming too common, even in the early/mid stages of the matches.Reduced Flight Rune speed when traveling upward.We're reintroducing the movement speed boost, so when you're invuln, it's time to run!
Vital Stone's use has fallen off over the past few months, partially due to an evolving meta, but also because people would pop it and then not be able to get away making it pretty lackluster.Vital Stone now (again) gives a 25% movement speed boost while invulnerable.This lets you see other players healing so you can do something about it.Added VFX to show when a player is restoring health or armor.Elemental shrines have appeared across the map and will always spawn their matching gauntlet.Mastery screen has custom backplates that correspond to the selected class type.Gold granted by mastery levels is now shown in the reward's title.It's important for us to test this system out as it's going to be built upon for some other features in the future. It's possible to earn a lot more XP in a given match, especially if you have a 'good game' where you pick up a bunch of accolades. We've added a large number of new accolades.
Instead, XP is awarded in discrete amounts from achieving accolades in match.
Added a whole bunch of new stuff that you'll see over the coming weeks, including some festive items for the upcoming holidays.We'll keep you updated as they're coming and going though so you don't miss out. We'll generally be rotating Starter Packs over the course of multiple releases.The Bewitching Glimmer Starter Pack has been removed.Y'all are still in the midst of Chapter 1 and there's more stuff to uncover there as well… Store
