Esports Heroes 0.3.0 - Anyone can play the game!

Esports Heroes 0.3.0 - Esports Heroes is Free to access for everyone, In-game chat, Auto Battle Button can now be used and more!

In this version, there are quite a few minor balances and bug fixes aswell as a couple of new features including Free access to anyone who downloads the game. We would like to thank you for your continuous feedback which is really important to us.

New Features

Play the game for FREE

You can now play Esports Heroes for FREE without any time constraints!!! No more 1 hour timer, or needing a code, you can straight away play the game after downloading the game!

To make place for this extra free character, we have updated the login flow. OG Heroes can now login in the same way as before by using the OG Heroes Access button and entering their private code from the OGH Portal.

Note: The FREE character is linked to your device, so the free character will not be available accross multiple devices. Also if you delete the app from your phone and reinstall it, you will get a new character and lose access to your old one forever. Customer Support will not be able to get the character back for you

In-game Chat!

You can now communicate with all the other players by using the in-game chat.

The chat feature is unlocked from stage ESL Pro League 2-2!

Chat is available on both the match and the idle screen.

Note: Emojis are currently not available in the live version but will be in a future version

Auto Battle

At stage ESL Pro League 2-6, you will unlock the possibility to Auto Battle which will make the game continuously play the stages until you lose.

Whilst a match is being played, the small "Auto-Battle is on" appears at the top of the screen to notify you that it is being played out.

This feature is only available to our OG Heroes, Free users will need to obtain an OG Heroes Athlete to gain access to it. These are still available here

Note: You need to be online for the Auto Battle to play, if you are offline it will automatically stop the auto battle

Stats & Attribute tooltips

You are now able to see more information for both the Stats and Attributes.

This will allow you to see additional stats which are not on your page by default.

System Updates

Team Setup & Opponent Scouting

The team setup has changed location. You can see a better overview of your teammates's skills.

The opponents scouting is also now easier to see and get more details per opponent

Variant of the Basic Play

Each opponent class now has their unique Basic Play skill:

• Opponent Basic Skill Anchor - Pro Gamer Move
• Opponent Basic Skill Troublemaker - Disrespect
• Opponent Basic Skill Playmaker - Instagib
• Opponent Basic Skill Clutch - Trickshot
• Opponent Basic Skill Mastermind - Big Brain Time
• Opponent Basic Skill Leader - Firin' Mah Lazer

Additional Changes

• The tutorial guide and the caster have been seperated into two different characters with FurryKnuckles for the Tutorial and Tyl3r as the caster.
• ESL Pro League has now been shortened to a total of 60 stages instead of 82 previously
• Updated the unlocks schedule to match the shortened league.
• New Skill VFX have been added
• Even more stages are now available. Who can defeat them all and force our team to make even more?!

Balance Updates

Progression Adjustments

The idle XP gains per stage have been adjusted to allow higher stages to give more idle rewards than before

Note: This change is a first step into reducing the level gap at higher stages. This change will also make it more interesting to take some time to push past a stage blocking you than waiting to over-level it.

Class Balancing

We have reverted previous nerfs to some Dots skills which results in a buff for both the Troublemaker and Playmaker

Note: Scaling is sorted by rarity, if there is no separator the value counts for all rarities. Sorted from Common→Uncommon→Rare→Epic→Legendary
