Fault Dev Tracker

Welcome
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog post.

Today we talk about a few topics including a preview of upcoming changes to our draft menus, upcoming items, and a couple of new additions to our team!

Our blog posts will start to reveal more in the coming weeks as we continue to work towards the systems needed for our next major update. These systems are a core part of the update, which will include the Mastery system and A.I bot modes, along with more hype content we have yet to fully announce.

GAME MECHANICS
General Starting Gold

• Starting gold has been reduced from 650 to 550.

The early game is a crucial, high-stakes phase of a MOBA that requires very key decision making and technical execution to successfully battle it out with your lane opponent. Since Fault has released, we've offered enough gold at the start of a match to allow for laners to buy 1-2 refillable health and mana potions, each with 2 charges that refresh when entering base, and this has allowed for high levels of relatively cheap sustainability during the lane phase. This has multiple implications, from allowing poor decision making and execution to have fewer repercussions (if one takes a poor trade, healing/mana regeneration is always available) to removing the strategy from choosing if more sustain through consumable or refillable potions are necessary in a given situation (especially on heroes with little to no regeneration in their kits). Due to this, we are ma... Read more

Support and Toxicity
Our support team has been working non-stop to do the best we can to battle toxicity in the game, in the past 2 months a whopping 12,739 bans have been issued by our team. While we understand this is a competitive game and that environment can lead to heated moments in chat, we want to do all we can to ensure players both old and new feel comfortable in-game.

We encourage everyone to use the report and mute functions found in the scoreboard tab and endgame screen, shown below.

Welcome
Welcome to today's blog post!

Due to feedback and the introduction of our regular bi-weekly patches, we will be moving our weekly blog posts to a bi-weekly format alternating between patches and blog posts every week. As we schedule more and more regular content, we plan to shift around our dates to better fit our community and the content we have planned.

Lesser Helix Our pre-Prime map objective, the Lesser Helix, is set to be implemented in our next bi-weekly patch. This new objective will give our players more to consider when planning their tactics while also providing another main early objective compared to just slaying the Raptor.

The Lesser Helix grants each member of the team a 15% bonus true damage to the next attack they hit on a turret for 180 seconds, it will spawn at 8 minutes in the orb prime pit.
