Winter Visual Update

12-06-2024 Update

[ General Changes ] - Added a new hero, Raven, to Hero Labs.

- For each player on the main leaderboard, you can see their top 3 heroes as well as their overall skill rating.

- Muting a player now also silences map drawing, pings, and chatwheel messages.

- Added two new setting options "Force English Hero Names" and "Force English Item Names", which will display those values in English regardless of your chosen language.

- Added a new setting option: "Additional Build Search Language", which lets you select a language to search for when requesting builds in addition to the current display language of the client.

[ Misc Gameplay ] - Added an Extra Competitive option to allow players to control what type of players are placed on their team. If you prefer to play with higher levels of coordination, communication, and competitiveness, then you can use this option to tell the matchmaker to build your team with like-minded allies. This option will sometimes be inactive in scenarios where the pool is very shallow (large portions of Eternus, off peak hours like 5am, extremely long queue, etc.), but otherwise in most normal scenarios the matchmaker will attempt to find you similar players.

12-06-2024 Update

- The matchmaker will now try to prioritize each team having at least 2 frontliners when it has the option to do so.
