Account Linking

We're pleased to share that full Account Linking and Account Migration is now available, allowing you to transfer game progress between platforms.

Account Migration

In order to move game data from one platform to another:

1. Log in to My Account at www.predecessorgame.com using the account you wish to migrate to a different platform. This account will serve as your master account. Any accounts linked to your master account will have their data deleted and replaced by data from your master account.
2. Link the new platform you want to migrated your account data over to such as Epic Games, Steam or Xbox. If there’s existing game data associated with the account you’re trying to link to, it will be deleted and replaced by data from your master account.
3. Load up the newly linked platform. Your progress and account data will have been migrated!

Account Preservation

Any accounts you link will have their data and progress overwritten and replaced by data from the master account. Merging accounts to combine game data is not currently possible.

For example, if you are migrating PS4 data to Steam and connect it to a Steam account that already has game data, the pre-existing Steam data will be deleted and replaced by the PS4 data.

Additionally you may only link to an account that has not already been linked to another account.

At this time account unlinking is not supported. Be sure to take care when linking accounts.

If you mistakenly link an account or need any additional help, please contact our Support team for assistance.

Level-Up Rewards Update

In 1.2, we introduced new level-up rewards for each level up to level 20. At the time however, we were unable to retroactively grant these rewards to players at higher levels.

This is corrected with the launch of 1.3. When you log in after updating you’ll receive a reward pop-up with all the missed level-up rewards added to your account.

Thank you for your patience and enjoy your rewards!

Draft Improvements

With the release of 1.3, several requested improvements are coming to Draft including the ability to swap Roles, Heroes, and Draft Order with your allies.

How Swapping Works

• Players must first select the type of swap they’d like to request and then choose the ally they wish to swap with.
• The requested player must accept the swap for it to take effect.

Types of Swaps

Role Swapping

• Available for the entire duration of the draft.
• Swaps the role (Offlane/Jungle/Midlane/Carry/Support) of the two players.

This feature is particularly important as the Hunt item is tied to the player's role in Draft.

Hero Swapping

• Only available once both players have locked in their Heroes.
• The swap exchanges the locked-in Heroes between the two players.
• Both players need to have the Hero unlocked.

Position Swapping

• Only available if you haven’t yet locked in a Hero.
• The swap exchanges the position in the draft order between the two players.

Players can perform swaps as many times as they like, provided both players agree to each swap.

These improvements are designed to provide greater flexibility and teamwork during Draft, ensuring a smoother and more collaborative experience.

Ranked Mode 24/7 Trial

One of the most popular requests we’ve received is for Ranked Mode to be available 24/7. And guess what? We heard you loud and clear!

While we’re not yet ready to make Ranked Mode permanently available at all times, we’ve made the necessary preparations to run a 24/7 Ranked Mode trial for a limited time.

Starting with the release of V1.3, Ranked Mode will be open around the clock on NA and EU servers for 14 days. We’ll let you know in advance via our social channels when the trial is set to end.

We’d greatly appreciate your feedback on your experience with Ranked “after hours”—particularly during the timeframes when it wasn’t previously available.

Tower Fortifications

Outer Towers have received some upgrades!

From the start of a match, they are now Fortified until the 15-minute mark. During this time, Towers have Plated Healthbars, meaning each time you damage them down to 75%/50%/25%/0% of their Health, you will be rewarded with additional gold that will drop nearby on the floor.

Be warned though, each time you destroy a Plated Segment, the Tower will become more durable, while also summoning a temporary Barrier that grants it an even larger increase in Armor for 10s based on the number of Enemy Heroes near it when a Plate is destroyed. This means that while additional rewards are on offer to players bold enough to damage their enemy’s Outer Towers, they must carefully choose whether to back off after destroying a Plate, or risk hitting through the additional durability for even more Gold!

Overall, the Tower Fortification mechanic will provide you with greater potential for reward when playing for Tower damage over making roams in the earlier stages of a match. As with any new gameplay feature, some balance tuning may be required in subsequent updates, but for now we’re excited to see the new range of tactics and strategies as a result of this change!

Tower Fortification - Mechanics Breakdown:

• Outer Towers are now Fortified with Plates for the first 15-minutes of a match.
• While Fortified, Outer Towers have Plated Health Bars at 25% intervals.
• At each 25% damage threshold, it will drop 2 Gold Pick-ups onto the ground.
• Upon destroying a portion of the Fortified Tower, it generates a defensive Barrier, gaining temporarily increased Armors for a short duration based on the Number of Nearby Enemy Heroes at the time of activation.
• Fortified Outer Towers have generically increased Armors based on the amount of Plated Segments remaining:

All Towers

• Additionally, All Towers and Inhibitors no longer grant Local Gold to nearby Killers upon death.
• Instead, Tower Local Gold is now dropped as 2 Gold Pick-ups for ALL TOWERS on destruction (or Final Plate Kill).

New Items

We’ve added 14 brand-new items to the in-game shop—plus a returning classic!

New Stat: Ultimate Haste:

Ultimate Haste is a new stat that is offered on some Items. It works similar to Ability Haste, but it is only applied to your Ultimate Ability’s Cooldown Calculation, instead of all Abilities.

For example, if you have 10 Ability Haste, and 15 Ultimate Haste, your Ultimate effectively has 25 Total Haste’s worth of Cooldown Reduction, but your Basic Abilities only have 10 Ability Haste worth of Cooldown Reduction.
