Server maintenance is happening on May 19 at 2:00-4:00am (UTC). Both Android and iOS versions will be updated to 1.35.1570082. You will need to update the app on the App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android) or TapTap (Android).

During the first 30 minutes of maintenance, all online players will be forced to log out. To avoid any possible interruptions to your matches, please log out before the maintenance period. We appreciate your understanding and support.

Here are the details of this update:

RANKED

To prepare for the next season, Stadium Season 1 (SS1), there will be a short "test season" after the update. SS0 Test Season Duration: 2023/05/19 00:00:00 - 2023/06/08 00:00:00 (UTC)

Lower the unlock requirements for ranked matches; players only need to reach 75 trophies to unlock ranked play.

Ranked matches will be 5v5 only, with game modes limited to Control and Payload Escort.

✦ You can now team up in Duos or Trios. While teams of 4 members are not allowed, teams of 5 will only match against other full stack teams.

✦ Placement matches will be removed. All players participating in Ranked matches will automatically receive Bronze 3 rank.

✦ Introducing "Promotion Matches" system, triggered when players advance to Diamond rank and above. When a player reaches the qualifying node, they must participate in a BO3 (Best of 3) match in the qualifiers, and win two games to advance (or lose two games to fail the qualifiers). When a player fails to advance in the qualifiers, one Rank Star will be deducted and the player will not advance to the next Rank Tier.

✦ A brand new "Stadium Track" system; stay active in ranked matches to progress in the "Stadium Track" and directly unlock rewards for free.

✦ Ranked match shields will be divided into three types based on consumption order: Event Shield (provided by limited-time events), Demotion Shield (provided at promotion or by other specific events), and Challenger Shield (redeemed with Challenger Points).

✦ Ranked Portrait Frames will now be reset every season, so you'll have to earn the right to glory.

TROPHIES

In a recent patch, we updated the trophy progression system so that trophies are not deducted anymore. Instead of punishing a player for losing a game, moving forward, Trophies will act like an Exp. value - the more you play, the more Trophies you have. In the next update, we’ll make this system more informative.

✦ The maximum number of Glory Levels for each hero will be changed from 35 to 7.

✦ Maximum Trophies per hero will be capped at 4500. After the update, Heroes with over 4500 Trophies will all be settled as 4500, and will then stay at 4500 thereafter.

✦ Increasing Glory Level will no longer provide Battle Points.

MVP

Support heroes are very important roles in the game, and we need to assess their impact more accurately. So after the update, Assists from Support heroes will be better tracked in their K/D/A. This includes healing, damage mitigation, control-type abilities, and other aspects of assistance.

The new MVP system will also assign weighted scores to KOs and Assists, making it more accurate in predicting which player makes the biggest impact.

✦ KO: Instances where effective damage is dealt to the target within a timeframe before the target dies will be counted as a KO.

✦ Assist: Instances of providing a buff effect/shared vision abilities towards the KO (friendly player) before the target dies, or instances of using a control effect skill on the KO'd player (enemy player) before the target dies.

✦ Healing aid: Instances of effectively healing during the KO (friendly player) before the target dies will be counted as one Assist.

✦ When a player falls off the map after receiving an attack from an enemy, the last player who has dealt effective damage to the player within a timeframe will be counted as one KO. Other players who have dealt damage within the same timeframe will be counted as one Assist.

HEROES

In the next update, we’re thrilled to announce that ALL heroes will get the new second active ability, all for FREE. No Rumble Boxes to open, no T-Coins and T-Gems to spend, ALL 26 heroes will get it for FREE at launch on May 19th.In the future, all new heroes will also arrive directly with a second active.

Developer Comments:

At T3 Arena, we strive to provide you with a fun game experience with limitless possibilities, regardless of your preferred playstyle. However, 3v3 game mode limited the fun and diversity due to the smaller number of players, which resulted in a heavy focus on kill efficiency and constrained hero usage. Many exciting heroes with unique abilities remained underutilized. The development of 5v5 helped us find a clear path towards refining and iterating upon this core gameplay loop.

With this upcoming update, heroes will better fit into four distinct roles, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Vanguard heroes are formidable tanks with high health and shield capabilities. They can deal significant damage under specific conditions but are vulnerable to ranged heroes. Vanguards serve as the primary force in capturing objectives. (Note: If there is only one Vanguard hero on the team, it activates a buff called "Lone Vanguard Blessing," granting them 20% extra damage mitigation.)

Damage heroes possess potent offensive capabilities and have range advantages. However, they are more vulnerable and require additional protection from teammates.

Flank heroes excel in mobility, specialize in creating distractions, and focus on eliminating squishy enemies. They struggle in long-range combat, though.

Support heroes are skilled healers and offer various other abilities to assist their team. Like Damage heroes, they are vulnerable and rely on additional protection from teammates. (Note: Support heroes naturally heal themselves if they have not taken damage for 2 seconds.)

These distinct roles provide a greater level of diversity among heroes, enabling different roles to collaborate and devise various strategies to outmaneuver opponents. For example, while Vanguards engage at the front line, Support heroes can provide significant healing support. Simultaneously, enemy Flankers can attempt to flank and eliminate the Supports swiftly, disrupting the healing supply and making it easier to deal with the Vanguards. Meanwhile, Damage heroes or other Support heroes need to remain vigilant in dealing with these Flankers.

Some heroes previously categorized as Damage have been thoughtfully selected to undergo a complete revamp, and are now transformed into Support heroes. This decision was made to increase the number of Support heroes and align their playstyles with the support role.

In the objective-based 5v5 modes, team fights are more important than ever before. And with slower ultimate charge rates and a new second active ability, timing becomes crucial, opening up possibilities for impressive combos.

In the classic 3v3 modes, the new abilities and rebalancing also work wonderfully. You'll find it much more fun to play across different maps with an array of heroes.

With a wider range of hero playstyles, diverse team strategies and dynamic hero compositions, we believe that the new hero changes will make T3 Arena even more fun to play for all of us.
