•Developer Update
Dear players, we have never stopped the discussion and changes about hero balancing in order to provide a fair and better gameplay environment. However, after we watched all the matches during 1st MSC, we still found a lot of heroes hard to show their strengths and abilities. After reading feedback from players in forums and the official website, we decided to make some changes to the map as well as some heroes so that more heroes will have the opportunities to show their faces in the Land of Dawn.
•Map Changes
- Turtle/Lord Location Change
After analyzing MSC match data, we found in the original map, the team that was closer to the Turtle/Lord usually had the advantage of taking them, which is not our purpose in the first place. In the new map, we have moved Turtle/Lord to a location that is closer to the center of the river. This change will bring more attention to them and we’d like to see more fights around them. (We have designed 2 plans for the location change, the other one will be released later)
- Jungle Monsters Location Change
(1)Treasure Crab: We added Treasure Crab in one of the early updates to balance the resources in the jungle area. But as its location is away from the places where team fights usually happen, Treasure Crab is becoming an unpopular monster. In the new map, a new task has been assigned to Treasure Crab. It will be moved to a location closer to the Top/Bottom lane, which may bring more changes in the boring laning phase: the winning one is able to extend the lead by taking Treasure Crab and the losing one can prevent being crushed by taking it.
(2)Golem: There have been few fights around Golem since its location was so deep in the jungle area. So we removed Golem from the map and replaced it with a new jungle monster – Little Spinner. And Spinner and Little Spinner will move to a new location and become a new monster group that grants more benefits than the others.
- Map Element & Bush Location Change
We have adjusted some elements in the jungle area and bush locations to make farming and ganking more variable. (PS: Some element changes may affect the hero who relies on walls, like Fanny etc., it is not our purpose but we would like to see the impacts.)
- Monster Spawn Mechanism & Benefit Changes
1) Turtle spawns at 2 minutes in a random location. Lord spawns 3 minutes after the Turtle is killed in a random location. 4 minutes after Turtle spawns and it isn’t attacked in a short period of time, Turtle disappears and Lord spawns.
2) Lord respawns every 4 minutes in random location after it is killed
3) Location and a countdown of Lord and Turtle are displayed 120 seconds before they respawn
4) Killing Reaper and Spinner grants the same BUFF that varies based on the killer’s class (6 BUFFs)
5) Killing Giant Mouth Monster grants more health; killing Ghost Mage and Goblin grants mana now
After Hero Attributes and New Map are updated, we will find out and implement the most appropriate changes by analyzing survey and data. Dear players, we would appreciate it if you can give us your feedback when you receive the Sruvey. Every voice matters to us.
•I New Hero & Revamp[]
1.Nightstalker - Argus 599 Diamonds, 32,000 BP, 30% OFF First Week
Note: He will be released on Advanced Server one week earlier.
Hero Specialty: Argus is a courageous Fighter as the battle continues who has the ability to become immune to death in a short period of time.
1st Skill: Demonic Grip—Puts out a demonic hand at the targeted direction, dealing physical damage to an enemy hero and moving to the front of the target, then he is able to make a quick slash towards the enemy, dealing physical damage. If it doesn't hit the enemy hero, he pulls himself to the location.
2nd Skill: Demonic Blade—After a short period of charging, Argus strikes the enemy with his demonic blade, dealing physical damage and cursing the enemy for X seconds. Moving enemy under curse effect leaves a trail that grants Argus extra movement speed while he is moving on it.
Ultimate: Eternal Evil—Transforms into a fallen angel and becomes immune to death. Part of the damage dealt by him during the ultimate will be converted to Argus's health after the ultimate.
Passive: Warmonger—Taking or dealing damage will charge the demonic blade (the lower his health is, the faster blade charges), when fully charged Argus's next basic attack will be two quick basic attacks.

Surrender System: Surrender system added in Draft Pick
- In some high ranked matches, performance in the early game somehow decides the battle result, but we found some players left the game as soon as the game started which makes the match 4v5 or worse.
- To help solve the issue, when there is a player leaving the match for a long time in the beginning, you are now able to surrender at 3 minutes and rankings & win rates of both teams’ players will not be affected. However, the player who left the match will lose starts and punished.
- To prevent from players using certain loopholes in the system, the team-up players will lose the same starts too. We will keep an eye on the system.
