Version 4.7.2

Design

(Old) User Interface

• Players now have the option to switch back to the old User Interface by going to Options -> Interface -> Miscellaneous -> New Main Interface and unticking the checkbox (requires client restart to take effect).
• Players now have the option to switch back to the old Shop Interface by going to Options -> Interface -> Miscellaneous -> New Shop Interface and unticking the checkbox (requires client restart to take effect).
  • Since these are options for the old interfaces, bugs and the removal of certain features may occur as a result of using these options.
  • Always do a client restart if you change these settings, as it could make your user interface unusable if done in a real game.
  • Users who use these options use them at their own risk. Bug reports regarding these features will most likely be rejected, as these features are not officially supported.

Matchmaking Rating (MMR)

• MMR will now once again be displayed for each player on the hero pick screen (for both the Old and New User Interface).
  • Rank icons and titles will still be displayed beside the MMR value.
  • Note that the MMR system never actually went away, and only its mechanics were adjusted throughout the last few years after Champions of Newerth (CoN) started.
  • Note that the MMR system is practically back to its legacy mechanics, and has been this way for 2 CoN Seasons.

Concede Vote Mechanics

• Now requires 5 players to concede after the 15 minute mark (instead of 4 players).
• Now requires 4 players to concede after the 30 minute mark (instead of 3 players).
  • The above points assume an ideal 5v5 scenario in the Forests of Caldavar map where no other player has been terminated. The proper behaviour will take place if at least 1 player is terminated on the team that calls the concede vote.

Forests of Caldavar

• Two trees blocking a continuous side path from the bottom lane Tier 1 Legion Tower to the bottom lane Hellbourne Tier 2 Tower has been removed.
  • Maintains consistency when comparing the side path from the top lane Tier 1 Hellbourne Tower to the top lane Tier 2 Legion Tower.
• The cliff ward spot closest to top lane Legion Tier 1 tower has been removed & replaced with trees.
  • This addresses some of the ward vision inconsistencies between Legion top lane offlaners and Hellbourne bottom lane offlaners.

Runes

• New Rune: Mystic Illusion Rune
  • Replaces Illusion Rune.
  • Illusion Rune has been renamed to Mystic Illusion Rune.
  • In addition to the Illusion rune's current effects, now also applies Mystic for 45 seconds.
    • Mystic grants 30% Reduced Cooldown and 30% Reduced Mana Costs.

Mid Wars

•  Zorgath &  Transmutanstein's respawn times reduced from 6 minutes to 4 minutes.
