The reality of this meant that more rare skins could be grabbed at hefty discounts if you didn’t mind an off-colour, due to variants often being much cheaper than the base skin.In order to keep delivering new skins and content at the level of quality you expect from Predecessor we’ve decided to make a slight price adjustment specifically to skin variants.Important notes:Skin variants can be purchased without owning the base skin, except for bundle-exclusive variants.Base Hero recolors (Common and Uncommon) will continue to be priced at 300 Platinum.This pricing change will apply to new skin variants released in this update and beyond. Existing variants will remain at their current prices, but their prices might get adjusted in the future as well.New pricing for skin variants:Rare Variants: 400 PlatinumEpic Variants: 500 PlatinumLegendary Variants: 600 PlatinumThank you for your support and understanding as we continue to evolve Predecessor’s offerings!Game Features:Introducing Legacy:Some of you asked for Agora. Some of you asked for a new map.In a way, you’re all getting what you asked for.The Agora map is here! A place of nostalgia and a place of fresh challenges.Think you’ve mastered Predecessor? Prove it on a brand-new battlefield.The map is vast and uniquely shaped, offering completely different opportunities for strategic play. Tactics that work on the standard map might not work here. Don’t forget about the Shadow Pads - areas hidden from view unless warded, perfect for ambushes and surprises. And check out the jungle - it truly lives up to its name on this map!Explore, experiment, and evolve your strategies - and let us know what you think! You can learn more about it here.Legacy Mechanics Breakdown:This instalment of Pred Labs includes several changes and adjustments compared to the version from the old days that some of you might remember.The map and mode needed to be adapted for what Predecessor is today. We took care to ensure that matches played on this map still meet our standards for how fair and fun they are. Some of the mechanics from the original map were not really contributing to this goal, so we chose to replace them with alternatives that, in our view, make more sense and still deliver the same sense of challenge and immersion.That said, many of these elements could evolve in the future. If you love this mode as much as you’ve embraced Nitro, who knows what might become of Legacy? With 1.7, we invite you to discover what this mode has to offer in our unique interpretation!What are the gameplay differences between Sanctuary and Legacy?Conventional gameplay and balance is the largely the same as Standard (Fangtooth, Mini-Prime, River Bug, etc), with a few extra additions!The only major difference is that normal Jungle Camps Respawn at slight slower times:White Camps:- Respawn Time increased from 120s to 135s.Original Legacy Mechanics adjustments:Jump Pads:Although Legacy did not originally feature Jump Pads, we have added them to each Team’s Base to improve the flow and pacing of the map.Travel Mode:Instead of travel mode, which in our view was not a particularly healthy mechanic, we made it so Heroes gain 100 (approximately 14%) Bonus Movement Speed after being Out of Combat for 4s, helping them navigate the map faster!Shadow Pads:Shadow Pads are returning in a slightly altered form:Shadow pads turn Heroes invisible while they are within them.Dealing damage to an Enemy while inside a Shadow Pad will reveal you for 2.5s.Wards and Sentry will also reveal Heroes that are inside Shadow Pads. You may also walk into the Shadow Pad to see if any other players are inside them,Note: For OG Legacy Players - Shadow Pads are NOT treated as a separate vision realm where you can see Wards or other Stealthed units, such as Kallari.Dunking ZonesThe Dunk Zones have been closed off.Harvester Location CampsInstead of Harvesters, we have added new camps at their locations:Sidelanes: A Gold Golem (Duo) or Cyan Golem (Offlane) + Teleporter.Jungle: A Small Gold Bug that grants global gold when killed, in each Quadrant.Orb Pit: An Enhanced Gold Bug that is tougher and grants far more gold than the Gold Bugs in the Jungle.Gold Bugs: - Initial Spawn: 02:30.- Respawn Time: 140s.- Stats: - Health: 800 (+50 per Level). - Physical Armor: 20 (+1 per Level). - Magical Armor: 10 (+1 per Level). - Damage: 32 (+6 per Level).- Kill Rewards: - Gold: 40g. - Global Gold: 40g (+1 per Minute). - XP: 80/95/110/125/140/155/170/185 at Levels 1/3/5/7/9/11/13/15. - Creep Score (CS): 2.Enhanced Gold Bug: - Initial Spawn: 04:00. - Respawn Time: 210s.- Stats: - Health: 2500 (+180 per Level). - Physical Armor: 30 (+2 per Level). - Magical Armor: 25 (+1 per Level). - Damage: 70 (+10 per Level).- Kill Rewards: - Gold: 150g. - Global Gold: +100 (+2 per Minute). - XP: 200/225/250/275/300/325/350/375 at Levels 1/3/5/7/9/11/13/15. - Creep Score (CS): 7.NitroWhat about Nitro? After all, the entire idea behind Pred Labs was to frequently rotate and test experimental game modes.However, Nitro has proven to be incredibly popular, with many players naming it their preferred way to play and our data backs that up. So, we've decided to keep Nitro as its own standalone LABS mode for 1.7!Let me say it clearly: Nitro is staying!That said, we’ll be closely monitoring the situation to ensure the health of the overall game and keep queue times reasonable across all modes.Thank you so much for the love and enthusiasm you’ve shown for Nitro. We’ve been truly overjoyed to see how much this mode has resonated with you!
Audio improvements Sound is an integral part of the Predecessor experience. From the menu music to the sounds of the UI, Heroes, and the battlefield, and also on our videos and trailers audio plays a crucial role in creating the game’s immersive atmosphere.With Legacy's launch, we’re excited to highlight the sound work that’s gone into bringing this new map to life. Agora is a completely different environment from the Sanctuary map, and it deserved an equally distinct and fitting ambient soundscape to match its unique surroundings.Beyond the new map, the rest of the game has received audio polish as well. We’ve focused on improving the clarity of action and enemy sounds by giving them more space and reducing background noise. We’ve also introduced dynamic mixing, which helps emphasize player and enemy actions and adds extra “oomph” to key gameplay moments - making the game feel even more alive, rewarding, and intuitive to navigate.We’ve refreshed several sound effects to make them more satisfying and noticeable; here’s some of them:Blink sound has been upgraded to sound more rewarding and excitingJump Pad whoosh has been enhanced to sound more impactful and energeticLevel-up chime has been updated to sound more rewarding and celebratoryThe sound of the Hunt crest is now more prominent and noticeableWe reduced the “thumpiness” of the sound of getting hit for better clarityFangtooth & Orb ( both Prime and Mini) now use unique SFX while enemy steals itWe added a sound in the main menu for when you level up the Battle PassLet us know how it all sounds out there on the battlefield!
Main Menu improvementsAs part of our ongoing efforts to improve UI across the game, the landing page of the main menu is the next, coming in V1.7!Our goal with this one is to improve discoverability of things currently available in the game - be it news, events, promotions, battlepasses and your progress on them, opportunities to get more loot cores or skins! We also made it to be more sleek and polished, and to give you more opportunity to look at the splash art - they’re often just too beautiful for you to be able to look at them only for the time it takes the game to load.Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more UI updates in the future!Ranked ChangesThis one is short and sweet: at last, we finally collected enough data and made a very informed decision to open up Ranked Mode 24/7 permanently on NA and EU servers! No more waiting for the window to open - Ranked Mode is always there, as an option, whenever you might feel like playing it. Huge kudos to you for making it possible!You can find the rest of patch notes, including changes to Heroes, Items and bug fixes here.
