Patch #09 - Halloween event, hall of fame, item changes

[p]Hello everyone!

This patch celebrates the spooky season with a new miniboss, enemies, items and a limited time only skin. The halloween event will be live for around 2 weeks!

[/p][p]This patch also contains some other major changes we've wanted to do for a while. [/p][p][/p][p]Unique keyword[/p][p]We've decided to make all rare/heroic items (blue/purple rarity dot) into unique by default, meaning if you already own a copy of an item, you can not find a duplicate of that item. We've overtime had to make more and more rare/heroics into unique for balance, this change makes it easier to keep track of which items you can get duplicates of and which you can't. With all items above common being unique, no exceptions, we've also removed the tag visually. We've taken the chance to buff many of the underperforming rare/heroics that were previously not unqiue and we've reworded the few common items that were unique so that they can be upgraded into gold/diamond by the golem. However we're not doing this solely for balance, we think this will improve build diversity and make players consider to use items they've not used before. Previously, if you had an armor build with 40 base armor and the "Chainmail Armor" item that regains all your base armor as your best item, the next best in slot item you'd look for is of course another "Chainmail Armor", no other item can compete with that. This meant that the next best item for most builds would always be another copy of their current best item. [/p][p]
Of course it's fun to win, and the point of the game is to find synergies that make you feel powerful and stomp the competition, we don't want to get away from that or water down the experience, but we think the play pattern of looking for what other items can fit your build instead of rerolling merchants and hoping for good RNG for a duplicate will be more enjoyable in the long run.

"Trigger twice"[/p][p]Items that said "Bomb items trigger trice" or "Ring items trigger twice" etc was not able to multiply together how players expected them to. We've changed that so that all such items say "Your bomb items trigger 1 additional time" etc to make them more easily understandable and now they all add their additional triggers independently, making them stack together.[/p][p][/p][p]Hall of Fame[/p][p]When a champion collects 10 wins they will be retired and enter the "Hall of Fame". [/p][p]Getting a champion into the hall of fame will grant you an additional reward, they will be saved under their own tab in your list of champions and they will also be show to other players in a global hall of fame list. The reason we're doing this, other than giving kingmaker players a goal to aim towards, is for balance purposes. [/p][p]There was previously no cap to how many wins a build could get which meant that some builds got the perfect setup and got 50+ or even 100+ wins, greatly accelerating the speed of which meta on new patches got stale. The 100 people that lost against a supercharged version of build X would feel that the meta was full of build X even though it was in some cases just a few instances of that build that got a huge amounts of wins and overstayed their welcome in the pool. This change will self-regulate to take overperformers out of the pool and speed up the rotation of builds going in and out, which we hope increases diversity of opponents you'll face. [/p][p]Without the cap players were also more incentivized to go for the same highroll build again and again, since uploading even one of those champions would yield many more crowns than trying to be flexible and get up more but weaker champions. That is fine if that's how some players find their fun, but it's not a playstyle we want to reward mechanically. [/p][p][/p][p]Patch #09 Changelog[/p]
