How we respond to new versions

Every major studio update changes ability stats, reworks items, and often completely rewrites the meta. Third-party software breaks immediately after a release — the anti-cheat and the game client logic are incompatible with old signatures. This is normal for the industry: for us, for competitors, everywhere.

The reverse-engineering team is on duty from 10:00–23:00 and starts work within minutes of a new client build dropping. Typical recovery time — 6–18 hours. If the delay exceeds three days, we automatically extend the subscription of all active users by the lost time. Full details — in the guarantees.

Below is a timeline of recent patches with a breakdown of key hero and item changes.

7.41e

Summer Cleaning — every rating under 9500 MMR

Valve rebuilt the scale: everyone now sits between 1 and 9500. Medals are preserved, the gap at the top collapsed. Balance changes are light, no reworks.
