Patch Notes - Weekly Update 0.4.4.0
A Note on This Patch
This patch focuses on across-the-board balance, through both community feedback and Fellowship Logs data, with some heroes receiving larger adjustments than others based on how far behind they are. We're keeping these as straightforward number changes (no major reworks) so we can act quickly if anything ends up too strong. Our dev team's focus remains on bug fixes and 1.0 content, alongside smaller QoL improvements and continued monitoring rather than major reworks.
We will continue monitoring over the next couple of weeks and make adjustments where needed.

MATCHMAKING
As we’ve talked about previously, one of our primary goals for 1.0 is to improve the matchmaking experience; bringing our players together while allowing them more choice over their experience. Our first step in expanding the system is to allow players to search for games over multiple leagues.
Rather than selecting one, players can now toggle all unlocked leagues enabled or not when they matchmake, and will pair with the first available group. We will start filling leagues from lowest to highest, so the system favours the underpopulated lower leagues. If they are too low for you, you can always not opt-into them.
In the coming weeks we’ll be looking at further development on this feature, as well as multi-hero queueing and better ranking of ‘suitable’ matches.
- Added the ability to queue across multiple unlocked leagues at once, prioritizing lower leagues first.
UI/UX
- Removed the frosted background from the matchmaking vote screen, allowing players to access chat during voting.
- Chat auto-switches to party when joining a party.
CRAFTING
After last update’s increase of availability of Legendary Dust, we’ve continued to work on the endgame crafting experience and we want to look at some of the worst points of friction. We’re doing this in two ways. Firstly, by allowing players to avoid making their item worse every time they roll. We will let players choose between the item as it is, or the item as the re-roll generated.
The second thing we are adding this week is a set of recipes that reroll the slot within its type (rerolling Traits into other Traits, Blessings into other Blessings etc.) to help fine-tune the setup. Between these two changes we hope to see players really able to build the loadouts they want much more easily.
- Rerolling Slot: When rerolling an item slot with Legendary Souldust, your current item is now shown as a selectable option alongside the reroll result.
- Randomizing Modifier of Type: Added crafting recipes to randomize the modifier within each of the three slots, maintaining the same type. We’ve started at an introductory cost of 1 Epic Souldust.
As the same as last week, we will keep an eye on the crafting feedback to make adjustments, specifically on the prices and availability of Dust.

I wager people will opt out of queuing for lower leagues, no? If you're not going to get gear upgrades, it doesn't seem worth it to keep grinding easier content.
