Introduction

Greetings Champions!

With spooky season behind us at last we're gathering our winter warmers and getting ready for 1.2 ( and Winterfest 2025)!
1.2 is chock full of highly requested features and changes, from Arcshot Gateways ( our fancy new official name for the previously showcased Teleporters) to communication changes, UI overhauls to map adjustments, and more!
But that barely scratches the surface, so let's crack the whip and jump straight in!

New Hero: Yin - The Jade Serpent

Claim the storms and surge into action, with Yin, Predecessor's newest whip-cracking wind-running Hero!
Yin is a powerful yet agile Jungler/ADC hybrid, able to manipulate intense gusts of wind with a crack of her whip, turning her opponents own attacks against them.

Stats:

Abilities:

Rising Storm [Passive]
Yin’s Basic Attacks against Heroes or Monsters grant her a stack of Rising Storm for 3s, stacking up to 8 times, with the duration refreshing on subsequent attacks. Each stack grants 3/4/5/6% Bonus Attack Speed, for a maximum of 24/32/40/48% attack speed. Damage an Enemy Unit with Lash Kick grants 3 stacks of Rising Storm.

Silksong [Basic Attack]
Melee basic attack dealing 56 (+85% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage.

Effect: Yin swings her whip 1350u, attaching it to Terrain or Enemy Units and pulling herself towards the location. Upon reaching her destination she vaults off of it in her direction of choice. Enemy Units hit by the whip are Rooted for the duration of travel. When Yin vaults off of her Target, they receive 90/130/170/210/250 (+120% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage and are pushed in the opposite direction.

Windburn [Secondary]

Effect: Yin cracks her whip dealing 75/115/155/195/235 (+100% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage to nearby Enemies and creating a sphere of pressure around her for 0.8s. If Enemy projectiles hit the pressure sphere, they are reflected towards the Source’s location.

New Store Section - Extras

Some of you may know that for a while we’ve spoken about a new section of the store, specifically for smaller cosmetics and a place where you can use Amber or Platinum to pick up the little things you might be missing from your collection.

V1.2 will see this new section of the store, the new Extras tab, finally become reality - becoming the #1 destination for standalone effects, emotes and menu cosmetics.

Purchasing Variants

It’s now possible to buy Skin Variants outside of bundles for all new variants added to the game.

Communication Improvements

Overhead Emotes

Overhead Emotes are small icons that you can display over your Hero’s head for a short time to communicate with others. Flash a wave at the enemy, wow at your teammates, or perhaps even taunt your enemies with something completely irrelevant and distracting - the choice is up to you!

Emote Wheel

With so many ways to express yourself, we've also taken the opportunity to add another highly requested feature - a brand-new, fully-customizable Emote Wheel!

The Emote Wheel is an in game quick-menu that lets you quickly select from a range of pre-selected sprays and other emotes. Not only does this mean you can now go into battle with more sprays than ever before, giving you versatility to pick different ones for different moments, but we've also upped the limit you can deploy before they vanish, meaning you can now place up to 4 sprays on the map at once.

Ranked Mode Improvements

Following your feedback, we’ve made a number of improvements to Ranked Mode.
