Klanx

Hellbourne · Agility · Ranged

Klanx is a ranged Agility carry who never fights alone. Every time he attacks, his Lackey fires a rocket at the same target, and when he needs to get somewhere fast he hops on his H.A.W.K. and flies straight over cliffs and trees.

Attributes and growth are listed as Strength / Agility / Intelligence; growth is per level.

The login screen has been rebuilt as a living diorama. Thunderbringer, Behemoth and Pandamonium square off against Puppet Master, Devourer and Succubus while a volcano erupts behind them.

• Pandamonium and Puppet Master also got sharper, higher-resolution textures in game.
• Added a "Forgot password?" link to the login screen, and the game now tells you when your password needs to be reset.
• Login error messages now fit inside their box.
• After a failed login, the cursor goes back to the first empty field.

• Players kicked by an AFK vote no longer get a leaver penalty on top of the kick.
• Following a friend into their game now only works from the main menu, so it won't pull you out of your queue, lobby or match.

Hero & Item Bug Fixes

Barbed Armor

Fixed reflected damage being reflected again. Two Barbed Armors, or Barbed Armor against Armadon, could bounce damage back and forth until someone died.

Armadon

Armordillo (E): Reflected damage no longer builds Spine Burst charges.

Inquisitor's Flail

No longer triggers from reflected damage.

• Fixed long freezes for players with high ping, and players with very high ping should see far fewer short stutters.
• If the game server stops responding mid-match, the game now tries to reconnect you to the same match before giving up.
• The "Reconnect?" popup now goes away once that match is over, even after restarting the game, and stays closed when you close it.

• You can now mute players who whisper you during a match, including while spectating. Just hover the whisper in chat and pick Mute.
• Your Code of Conduct history now shows on your own honor page.
• Fixed the post-match stats screen sometimes showing everyone's inventory as empty.
• GPM on the match stats screen is now correct in Mid Wars and custom games, which can start with more gold.
• Fixed the Penalty Point History box on the honor page looking broken when it was empty.
• If a marketplace listing sells or changes right before your purchase goes through, you now get a clear message and the listing refreshes.
• The marketplace will never charge you more than the price you confirmed.
• Added extra protection for your items and Jade on the marketplace.
• Removed the Juvio logo from the loading screen, the startup screen and Options.
• The first menu you open after logging in now loads faster.

• Added a "Keep me logged in" option to the launcher, on by default.
• Fixed several cases where updates would fail, including on some home networks and right after closing the game.
• If an update can't finish because of folder permissions or a full disk, the launcher now tells you what's wrong and how to fix it.
• If the game can't start because a file is missing or blocked, for example by antivirus, the error now tells you which file it is and what to do.

• Fixed several crashes and freezes, including:
  • a crash that could happen when clicking the minimap or your ability and item buttons during a match
  • getting stuck at 17% while loading into a match
  • the main menu freezing until you moved the mouse
  • freezes on the main menu or in hero select when a hero preview failed to load
  • short freezes when opening the shop
  • a freeze as a match was starting on some PCs with slow or cloud-synced drives
  • rare freezes caused by shadows and by hero sounds loading
  • a rare freeze right after the game started up
• Fixed big black clouds on some ability effects, and dark specks on trees and grass, when HDR or Scene Grading is turned on.
• Fixed Nomad, Andromeda and a few other models sometimes stretching into huge shapes in games with a Slasher Lord Salforis.
• Fixed graphics problems on some older graphics cards.
• Server stability improvements, so fewer games end up without their replay and stats.
