A warm welcome to the 7000 new players that got the game this weekend! Legion TD 2 is the most active it's been in a full year. To the moon!

We're proud to continue growing the game and be a part of this incredible community. We owe it to you, so thank you.

To celebrate, we're running a x2 essence and card drop rate event... starting NOW! and ending in a week.

As always, if you have constructive criticism, let's chat about it. Discord is our main channel of communication, and aside from the development team, there are community helpers who can ensure your feedback is heard, as well as answer pretty much anything you've ever wanted to know about the game. We know there's still much to improve, so let's work together.

Sincerely,
Jules, on behalf of The AutoAttack Games Team

Another routine hotfix patch for v10.00 related changes, plus a couple fixes beyond that.

King (buff)
• Tenacity: 1.5% → 1.6%
• 1v1 king’s health increased by 10%
• 4v4 king’s health increased by 2%
• Reverted the recent 4v4-only Chain Lightning buff

Hades (fixed)
• Summon Thanatos: Mana cost: 62 → 60
• Fixed a case where Hades was sometimes gaining more mana from Intellect than intended

Needler (nerf)
• Attack speed: 2.17 → 2.13

Dread Knight (fix)
• Fixed a bug where Dread Knight’s clones were dealing Pierce damage instead of Magic damage

Ladder Points
• Elo to LP scaling: quadratic → true exponential (this change will take place at the start of next week’s LP period)

Fixes & Improvements
• HUD: Fixed a display bug where mercenaries and king upgrades were displaying a reduced income amount in 2v2
• Client UI: Fixed a display bug where Classic ratings were displaying incorrectly in-game and in postgame
• Client UI: Fixed some cases where postgame rewards would accidentally wrap to the next line
• Client UI: Fixed some display issues with Worker (eco build) mastery
• Client UI: Friends list should now display in-game even if signed out of Steam Friends
• Stability: Fixed a rare network situation that would cause game instability
• Graphics: Fixed a bug with Desert Pilgrim’s chain heal effects (and possibly others) not rendering properly

Friendly reminder that we’re only 2 days into the ranked season. Please give us time to evaluate feedback and data. We'd rather make confident changes a day late than dubious changes a day early. The game has already been patched 5 times in less than a week, and it will continue to receive quick fixes as needed.

Quick hotfix patch for emergent v10.00 issues.

Balance/Fixes
• Balance: Needler nerf: Secondary attacks are no longer buffed by bonus damage (i.e. Shaman buff)
• Balance: Needler nerf: Damage: 55 --> 54
• Balance: Shadow Dancer buff/tweak: Reduced the chance of being too lucky/unlucky with RNG chances. In addition, proc chance: 15% --> 16.6% and health: 1600 --> 1635. It should now be a more viable opener, though still risky.
• Balance: Dread Knight buff/tweak: Reduced the chance of being too lucky/unlucky with RNG chances. In addition, health: 3520 --> 3630.
• Balance: Elite Archer & Trinity Archer nerf: Fixed an interaction where they were mistakenly being buffed by both physical & spell damage from Leviathan's buff
• Balance: 4v4: King's Lightning Hammer buff: Now bounces 1 extra time (4v4 map only)
• Gameplay: Fixed a bug where reconnecting on Wave 1 would mistakenly allow you to repick a Mastermind playstyle
• Client UI: Fixed a bug where Classic rating would accidentally be displayed on the sidebar
• HUD: Fixed a bug where damage tracker would be incorrectly missing damage for Shadow Dancer/summoner units. Damage tracker should also now more accurately not include overkill damage. Damage taken tracker does include overkill damage, though. Hopefully this makes the damage tracker a little better at displaying your best performing units.


Other Notes
• No changes to Ocean Templar yet, but we'll keep a close eye on it if it needs a nerf. v10.00a (this patch) is just a hotfix, so we just wanted to hit the most major offenders first.
• As with all major patches, we anticipate doing more balance tweaks and hotfixes over the next few weeks, especially after collecting more data & feedback
• We've also received a lot of feedback on other v10.00 related changes and will tweak as needed.
• End of Season rating soft-reset & rewards should be completed by now. Open a ticket at http://legiontd2.com/support if your account wasn't reset properly or you're missing rewards.

Final Note
Thanks for bearing with us with a bit of a rocky launch to v10.00. We ran into unexpected, significant technical issues with the season reset, as well as having team members on holiday break & paternity leave. Rest assured, we'll make sure the game gets to a healthy spot!
