HoN 3.1 - The Runic Shift
== General ==
- The Early Access Program has been suspended indefinitely
+ These changes were made in an effort to make one of our most important pieces of content, Heroes, become more creative, engaging, and exciting. While there is no longer a definitive schedule you can still expect to see new (and better!) Heroes added to the game. Also be on the lookout for more reworks due to this change in direction.
- Heroes will no longer be mandatorily created and released every 4 weeks
* Heroes are available to everyone immediately upon release
- Added new Hero: Sir Benzington
* Nimble and deadly, Benzington is a highly mobile melee ganking Hero that also gains increased attack range. Knightfall and Joust allows for engagements at incredible distances making Benzington an intimidating force anytime an enemy is spotted.
* Joust - Target a direction to dash forward up to 900 units, passing through the first enemy Hero hit and stopping. Enemies hit receive 100/170/240/310 Magic Damage and a 0.7 second stun.
* Royal Stomp - Activate to pull all nearby enemies 200/250/300/350 units towards you and reduce enemy Movement Speed by 40% for 2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds.
* Lance-A-Long - Passively increases your Attack Range by 50/100/150/200. Activate to boost your next attack to 428 range and add up to 100/180/260/340 Magic Damage. Your attacks passively build up to 5 charges, increasing the damage when you activate it.
* Knightfall - Target an enemy at considerable range to leap into the air and become invulnerable for 3 seconds. When you land, you deal 200/350/500 Magic Damage and apply a 50% tapering slow for 2 seconds in a 400/500/600 radius.
* This Hero will be released with 2 avatars. One is a Premium Alt Avatar and the other is introducing a new type of avatar called the Debut Edition (in lieu of the previous exclusive EA Alt Avatar). Debut Edition Alt Avatars are sold for a limited period of time after the release of a hero. They are not exclusively limited to that period of time and may reappear within the store at a later time.

Version 3.0.9
== New Content ==
- Added new Deadwood Alt Avatar: Toadwood Deadstool
* Deadwood may be the only creature immune to the lethal spores of the Rulian Marsh, yet he has allowed them to take root and disfigure him so he can spread the destructive seeds throughout Newerth. We hope the Legion likes mushrooms on their pizzas...
* Releases 4/18/2013
- Added new Pollywog Priest Alt Avatar: Penguin Priest
* All hail the Penguin Priest, who has waddled from his arctic southern flock to bless us with his presence! If thou chooses this divine flightless fowl to battle the Hellbourne, thou shall kneel for the duration of the combat, for the sake of reverence and to not make the Penguin Priest feel so short.
* Releases 4/24/2013
- Added new Hammerstorm Avatar: Hammer Lord
* The massive hammer and ornate garb of the Hammer Lords originated in the mines north of the City of Iron, when they were used to protect royalty in case of a collapse.

* Releases 4/26/2013
- Added new Arachna Alt Avatar: Arachnabot
* Doctor Repulsor and The Electrician know that among the many phobia daemons, Arachna strikes the most fear in the hearts of man and beast. Now they seek to mass-produce a mechanical version of the multi-legged murderess, an Arachnabot even more cruel and soulless than the original!

IMPORTANT! - Hero Release Schedule Change
You have probably noticed that there was no Hero Teaser released this past Friday. This was due to a shift in our release schedule corresponding with the huge patch we're releasing in the next few weeks. Not only will you see our newest Hero in that patch, but also some very exciting new content that has been in the works for a very long time.
While we've hinted in the past that a big balance patch is set for release at the conclusion of the HoN Tour Grand Finals, we realize the effect that wait has had on the community. We know that everyone in the HoN community is hungry to see what's next and it brings us a great sense of pride to see how vocal everyone has been leading up to this point.

Patch 3.0.2 Changelogs
Version 3.0.2
== New Content ==
- Added new Torturer Alt Avatar: Celsius preview

* Many were killed by plagues in the Time of Ash; others were altered. Day or night, woman or wolf, the Den Mother is the reason her pack--and the Hellbourne--always have fresh Legion meat on which to feed.
* Releases on 2/18/2013
- Added new Revanant Alt Avatar: Savage Revanant preview
* The Savage Revenants have reemerged, cobbled from the bones and armor of fallen warriors and draped in ancient skulls and desiccated skins. Are they a daemon deathblow or an act of Hellbourne desperation?

* Releases 2/8/2013
- Added new Oogie Alt Avatar: Mardi Gras Oogie preview
* Some warriors have a party animal's flair for battle, and Mardi Gras Oogie leads the Legion parade across Newerth, gathering her Carnival masquerade and weapons along the way. And somebody tell Devourer that not every day is Fat Tuesday.

- Added new Accursed Alt Avatar: Diseased Accursed preview
* Grinex brought new diseases from the Great Rift, including The Bloody Wheel, which infected one of Maliken's Darkguards and made his armor a prison of agony as it feeds upon him but won't let him die. Like taxes.
