Had to re-install the game as it kept crashing.

Ouch.
I had a stuck Windows service last week, causing disk stutter. Seems fine after a restart. (Drive C was abused but game is on D/E, so it was clearly software side, possibly something like malware protection.)
Just pointing it out as I never did before and some versions have gone end-of-support.

I’m lucky, no bug for me so far. What was the purpose of this update?

Pretty sure it was to irritate anyone still playing the game.

I saw a fake post on Reddit showing Selendis on PTR. At this point its just taunting people with heroes that will never come.

This is the least likely time for anyone to believe this.

This is the thumbnail of an old brawl, basically Industrial District ARAM but every 30 seconds a protector on each side keeps spawning.

Are there screenshots or videos of this fake hero?

Singlehandedly the biggest loss of insane amount of backlog content.

She costs 200 000 gold.
But you can get her for free if you win 33 games in a row.

Can I use AI beginner?

No, it has to be elite.
(And you can only use Starcraft heroes)

Welp I guess I’m playing 33 games of Dehaka.

And I really would if they released a new hero.

Hell, I’d do it as Kerrigan if I had to.

You can always play the mod by that Russian guy. I think they have Rashagal as a hero.

OMG, another update…

Pretty good effort.

At closer inspection:

  1. The text’s resolution looks as bad as the real hero models
  2. The word “owned” doesn’t glow matching the rarity color.
  3. The shoulder guard is sticking out the side of the border.
  4. The image is not even a 3D model.
  5. She has a :blue_heart: on her forehead.
  6. She has no mouth.

As a graphic designer myself, I salute you. I noticed straight away it’s not photoshopped correctly

I would like to add:

  1. there is no black to transparent fade/gradient from the bottom of the portrait to top
  2. The resolution of the model is amazingly clear when the picture is zoomed compared to the rest of the heroes
  3. The background is not even cropped properly

If someone gave this to me as a mock-up and told me if it looks real… i would say no instantly…
