Meta impact

Preparing for 7.39: the studio removes the dominant picks of the last season. Spectre leaves top-tier, Bottle returns to standard mid builds. Getting ready for the major — pro teams are already testing the new draft.

Umbrella update after 7.38d

Scripts and auto-cast automatically adapt to the new cooldowns and ranges. Software downtime after the 7.38d release — +8 h (the average over the last 12 patches — 6–18 h).

The subscription SLA is 72 hours. If the delay exceeds it, all active users automatically get their subscription extended by the lost time. Details — in the guarantees.
