In-game Rule System

• The HP Lifesteal and Healing formulas are unified into an additive formula, namely:

Lifesteal/Healing Amount = Panel Recovery Amount/Healing Amount * (1+ Healing Gain Rate - Lethal Damage Rate)

• Added the maximum limit of damage reduction rate: 90%

• Added the maximum limit of lethal damage effect: 90%

Skill label and brief description optimization

In order to enable new players and hero beginners to understand the characteristics of heroes faster, we have refreshed the hero's brief description and skill labels. Summoners can quickly grasp the core effects of hero skills through the new version of the skill label, and then understand their basic use logic through a brief description .

By reading labels and brief descriptions, summoners can quickly know where to use this skill, so as to avoid the trouble of reading a large amount of skill description text when starting a new hero - when you have already mastered the hero's gameplay , when you need to know the details of some skills, it is not too late to open the detailed description~

A. Quick picking 3 favorite heroes

With the gradual increase in the number of heroes, we found that it is not so easy to find the hero we want to play from among the many heroes. So during the pick phase, we'll top the three heroes that the player wants to play (and also top the alternates, if any) under any ordering rules.

B. Optimize the Clarity of Ban/Pick Turn

We believe that many players have experienced such a situation: because teammates forgot to ban heroes, the opponent selected a hero that restrained our lineup; teammates automatically selected heroes due to the end of the countdown, which eventually led to the unreasonable composition of the team’s lineup...

We found that in the draft mode, players often ban heroes/select heroes together with a teammate. In this case, the visual distinction between players and teammates is very small, and it is easy for players to fail to find "it's their turn".

Therefore, we have enhanced the visual difference between players and teammates. At the same time, when it is the player's turn, the top text will also change to "Please disable your hero" and "Please select your hero", and add dynamic effects.

C. Direct return to previous team

We found that disbanding the team and returning to the lobby after reopening will cause a lot of disruption to the player experience: players need to click on the qualifying entry, then go to the friends list to invite friends again, and finally click to start matching.

In the new version, you can directly return to the team interface after restarting, and players only need to click to start matching to restart the game.

D. New button to view hero skills in Ban/Pick mode

We found that even though players have a certain understanding of heroes in the draft mode (the draft mode has a proficiency threshold), there are still many players who need to check the hero skills.

Therefore, after the player has selected a hero, we have added a new skill button. Click the drop-down to expand several skill icons of the hero, and long press the skill icon to view the details. When not in use, the player can also click the skill button to withdraw it.

A. Ranked Match entry adjustment

We have received a lot of feedback on players' use of the ranked match room. Everyone reported that they often need to choose a three-row or five-row room when forming a team. After entering the team, they need to frequently switch between three rows as friends enter. In view of the inconvenience and inefficiency problems such as five-row rooms, we have integrated multi-row and five-row and five-port, and corresponding adjustments to the information display in the team room, such as the display of limited copywriting, and remove the room. Multiple rows of five rows of switching buttons, etc.

B. In-game status team information display

In the last version, we added the information display of the number of teams in the team status. Your feedback is very helpful to improve the information understanding of your friend's team. In this version, we have displayed and added the team status information of the players in the game, hope it helps you better understand the number of friends in the team;

C. Invitation optimization

In the optimization of this invitation, we have made some breakthroughs in restrictions, so that friends can better open up quickly! When the friend in the game is successfully reserved, you can directly enter the team room of the friend state in the game, and you can make real-time voice calls. We believe this change can help friends communicate better and open; in addition, we have reduced the reservation. Intimacy restrictions on feature usage;

As shown in the figure below, after the other party agrees to make an invitation, the enter room button will be displayed in the team list and the invitation success message, and click to enter their team room;
