## New Skins

###  Feaster Bunny Bakasura

* A special thank you to community members Ironwolf09, LordTekron and EEkoz for their forum posts inspiring the Feaster Bunny skin.

## General

* The first login experience has been modified some to help better guide new users to learning resources.
* The ability to have separate resolutions and screen types between the overall game lobby and a match has been removed. You now set a single resolution and screen type for the game on the VIDEO tab of the SETTINGS menu. The “dual mode” resolution system was causing confusion among new users, as well as crash conditions on some PCs.
* Game tips now show on the match loading screen.
* A new widget has been added on the HOME screen that displays your online friends.
* A new option has been added on the UI tab of the SETTINGS menu that allows users to control the scaling of the above-head combat text that displays above players’ heads when they are damaged or healed.
* A new option has been added on the VIDEO tab of the SETTINGS menu that allows users to enable/disable ragdoll physics. Disabling this feature will improve performance on some PCs (note that ragdoll physics is automatically disabled when running at Low or Lowest settings).
* The Social screens have been tweaked to simplify the process of creating a party.
* Additional tooltips have been added to the main menu to ease navigation for new users.
* In the end of match lobby, Kills, Deaths and Assists have been consolidated into one line on the expanded stats page.
* Your estimated network ping has been to the Pre-Match Lobby.
* In the Jungle Practice mode, players now start at Level 1. A special volume in the Altar area allows you to increase your level each time you step in and out of it (so that you can practice at the level you desire).
* In the Jungle Practice mode, the Ra Bot now scales based on your level.
* Changed the surrender rules so that if three people are left on a team, a surrender can occur with only 2 yes votes (previously, it required all 3 remaining players to surrender).
* The mini-map has undergone some modest performance optimizations.
* The gamemodes under the Practice menu now run locally on the users’ PC while playing Solo (previously these modes ran from a remote server). This may impact performance on some PCs -- please report any new problems.
* All references to the Focus mechanic have been removed the user interface.
* Fixed a bug in which the names of enemy players would be prematurely revealed in the match lobby when in draft mode.
* The Character Builder under the GUIDES menu has been modified some. Saving of items and abilities has not yet been added, but the changes made this patch move us closer to being able to add that feature.
* Fixed a few different crash conditions.
* A variety of other small bug fixes and cleanups have been made.
* Fixed an issue where Artemis’ Boar’s mesh would hang around for several seconds after it died.
* Fixed an issue where dangly physics parts on characters were still using PhysX when ragdolls were disabled.
* In Arena game mode, towers that kill minions now deduct points from the minion victim's team.
* Addressed an issue with leapers getting stuck in walls and ascending to the sky.
* The free god rotation has been changed to  Anubis,  Bakasura,  Cupid,  Sobek,  Vamana.
* Fixed an issue where god bodies could remain or reappear after death.
* Fixed an issue where minion physics could jostle violently when they ran into a despawn area in Domination or Arena game modes.

## Spectator Changes

* Left shift, by default, now is the only way to increase the camera speed across all spectator viewing modes.
* Fixed an issue where structures would appear to remain if you skip past their destruction.
* Clipping out pieces of the maps (Fire Giant volcano, base roofs, etc.) from an overhead perspective now only happens in isometric view.
* Fixed an issue where the crowd-control golden overlay on a player character would remain after rewinding.
* Fixed an issue where the isometric view could get stuck in a particular view if isometric view was triggered immediately after moving a freecam via the minimap.
