PvP.Net v0.29.03

General

    * Art for the “End of Game” has been updated
    * The Summoner Profile page now shows more detailed stats for the last 10 games played

Bugs

    * Fixed a bug in the Summoner Profile that showed the experience bar as always full
    * Fixed a bug that was causing the buddy list to not show the correct status during or after games



League of Legends v1.0.0.32

New Announcer Voiceovers
New in-game HUD

    * Information is better compartmentalized with your abilities, Health, Mana, and Experience in the center; player information and stats on the left; and the mini-map unchanged on the right
    * New Team Indicators allow you to quickly compare your own health against your target’s
    * More usable gameplay space, with less HUD interference while playing on the purple team
    * More minimalist but higher quality art
    * Smarter scaling means that UI scale will no longer affect chat and buffs


New Two-Lane Map – Twisted Treeline

    * Twisted Treeline is one of the few remaining forests near Zaun that has not been exploited for natural resources; a mere cursory glance at the geography of the arena quickly explains why. The misuse ofmagic – mainly from Zaun but also from the numerous battles fought here during the various Rune Wars – has warped the verdant environs of the Twisted Treeline into terrain into a bizarre, alien-like visage.
    * Twisted Treeline can be accessed in the Practice Game section

    * Guardian Angel Combine Cost increased from 850 to 1200

Good.

Sivir

    * Changed model

GOOD

Nothing about the store?

Also, what's a backdoor bonus? How does that work?

[MrHat]

Bonus armor for when no minions are around I think.

They nerfed Heim, which is good because he needed it, and bad because I was enjoying the character a lot.

[Ozzu]

Some nice fixes. I'm looking forward to trying the two lane map when I get home from work.

The Heim turret destroying on death fix is simple and will solve a lot of complaints about him. I like it.

[Draegan]

I think I might start playing again.

[Lounge]

Any shots of the new HUD?  This was one of the biggest things that bothered me about the game.

[Hoax]

I think I might start playing again.

Ditto going to get a game tonight and check this out.

[schild]

I skipped out since it's practice mode only.

[Hoax]

Fuck a new map, I'm talking about Heim nerf and the other stuff.  New maps will come I'm more worried about core gameplay at this point the buddylist bugs + horrible new characters + ELO acting retarded was making it really not fun.  Also, Borderlands for 5 more days FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Excellent post.

[Ozzu]

The new map is excellent. I'm looking forward to playing it in non-practice games.

So do I. But I don't look forward to paying $10 to unlock Kassadin.

[Thrawn]

I haven't looked into the store stuff much, is the entire game going to be bogged down with tons of micro-transactions that you need to stay competative?  Probably going to pass on the game if so...

[schild]

You will not need the store to be competitive if you're ace at one of the first 10 heroes or 20 box unlocked ones.

[Slayerik]

My guess is you can grind your ass off to buy most things, like runes and stuff using earned Influence Points. RL money gets you Riot points, which probably allow you to buy skins, unlock characters, buy runes. Probably will be able to buy most anything except skins with Influence Points, but will take a long ass time.

This could be completely off, its basically a big guess with no information.

[Hoax]

There will never be a Champion or Rune you can't get for free through grinding IP has been promised multiple times.  Basically all the skins will be RMT though what besides skins and IP/XP gain boosters they are going to sell is unclear to me atm.

If you've ever played cash shop games they are really taking a good fair western approach to this or at least saying they will.  Its the best of both worlds.  I'm sure if you limit yourself to $5 a month you'll still be able to buy yourself some new shiney every few months and you'll be saving yourself $10/mo off a MMO plus anything you buy with IP though I expect that mostly to go towards runes and champs you actually play for the awhile.

[Ozzu]

I did the digital preorder and will have enough points just from that to buy a couple of my favorite champions that aren't part of the 20. I figure it's money well spent considering I play the hell out of this game and have for a couple of months now.
