Version 0.2.60
-------------
- Inital test of the matchmaking overhaul
- Next version of the legion main building death
- Removed the "Tier" filters, columns and inputs from the game browser and create game interface.
- Added filters, sortable columns and all inputs for Min/Max PSR to the game browser and create game interface.
* Players may now specify a Min/Max PSR range when creating a game. Min/Max PSR games will appear normally as they would in the game browser and other players may join a game if their PSR falls within 2% of the range the game server Min/Max PSR is set to. (This means a player with 1471 PSR should be able to make it into a game marked Min 1500, and a 1734 player would be able to join a game marked as Max 1700, but those are the very edge of the 2% tolerance, so anything higher or lower would be rejected.)
- Games outside of a player's PSR range are grayed out in the game browser similar to the way "No Leaver" games appear to a player with leaver status. If no range is specified when the game is created then no range is enforced. If a player is invited to a game, the server ignores the PSR restrictions for them allowing friends to play in games they may not normally be able to be playing
- Added Min/Max PSR to the /gi or /gameinfo commands.
- The players PSR is now retrieved stored locally on the client when logging in, and is accessible through the UI_CMD() GetPSR()
- Added a visable 'corpse' for NPCs dying
- Fixed "/r" to not reply to a clan whisper automatically with "/c m", instead it will reply directly to the sender with a "/w PlayerName" just like how "/b m" works.
- Hopefully you will now be able to buy while dead again.
- Added new advanced game option "Tournament Rules"
* When enabled, allows the host to specify in the game lobby which team gets first ban.
* Only affects BP and BD gamemodes.
-Rewrote Soul Reaper's second ability description
Balphagore
- Added effects and sounds
- First ability now costs 40 mana (from 60)
- Second ability will now cause the Dot/Silence to spread to nearby enemies if the main target dies before the 2.5 second duration completes
- Third ability now takes 4 charges to spawn a minion, max of 8/12/16/20 charges.
- Third will no longer eat hero corpses.
- Hell on Newerth now loses 1 charge a second after going 10 or more seconds without having gained charges from an enemy spell or ability. It no longer removes chunks of charges 30 seconds after receiving them. Max charges increased to 120.
- Hell on Newerth stage 3 now has a 120 second cool down (reduced from 150)
- Hell on Newerth now requires 25/60/100 charges to use stages 1/2/3 (from 35/70/100). Charges gained per percent of enemy mana spent increased to 0.6, from 0.5 (one enemy using their entire mana bar will allow you to cast stage 2 of hell on newerth).
- Hell on Newerth will no longer gain charges from non-player controlled units (such as neutral's)
