General[ | ]

Two new Ranked queues (3v3 Joust and Solo Joust).
The Conquest queue under the Casual tab now accepts parties of only up to three persons. A new Conquest Pre-Made queue has been added under the Casual tab of the Play menu that accepts only 5-person parties.
Added a new VGS type called “context ping.” A targeter is used to complete the command and will place a marker in the world that your teammates can see.
- VQA + Left Click: Attack Here
- VQD + Left Click: Defend Here
- VQC + Left Click: Be Careful Here
In order to prepare for our LAN events we are turning on game pause functionality in all of the Challenge queues. In order to pause a game the command that you need to type into chat is /pause. The game will then pause, chat and other messaging systems will still be active. When the teams are ready any team member can type /pause to resume normal gameplay. At the time of un pausing a 3 second countdown will occur. This is the first rough implementation and more refined UI support will come in the future.
Fixed bug where stun meter was not showing up on certain god abilities
Conquest side lane AI pathing fixes

Spectator[ | ]

Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor could be stuck permanently on or off.
Addressed some crash issues that could occur after rewinding.

Changed respawn times to match Conquest.
Fixed an issue in the map that affected abilities used near tower.

Magi's Blessing[ | ]

The passive on this item has changed to address a few bugs:
