Sir "Let's Play"
New God: Vulcan
Passive (FORGE): Vulcan transfers 30% of his protections and 15% of his health to his turrets. In addition, when Vulcan is within 30ft of his own deployables they regen 3% of their health every second because of their proximity to the Forge.
BACKFIRE: Vulcan blasts a fireball out of his Forge, dealing 85/145/205/265/325 (+70% of your magical power) magical damage to all enemies in its path. The strength of the blast also knocks Vulcan 20ft back. Cost - 65/70/75/80/85 mana. Cooldown - 15s.
INFERNO CANNON: Vulcan constructs an Inferno Cannon that shoots fireballs in a cone that deal 65/100/135/170/205 (+20% of your magical power) magical damage to the target every second. The Inferno Cannon lasts until destroyed or another is placed. This inherits Vulcan’s penetrations but does not apply on-hit effects. Cost - 65/70/75/80/85 Mana. Cooldown - 15s.
THUMPER XVI: Vulcan constructs a Thumper XVI that deals 15/20/25/30/35 (+10% of your magical power) magical damage every second and slows enemies hit by 5/10/15/20/25%, increasing with Focus up to 35%, for 2s. The Thumper XVI lasts until destroyed or another is placed. This inherits Vulcan’s penetrations but does not apply on-hit effects. Cost - 70/75/80/85/90 Mana. Cooldown - 15s.
VOLCANIC OVERDRIVE: When Volcanic Overdrive is activated, Vulcan gains 15/20/25/30/35% movement speed and 10/20/30/40/50 protections. All of Vulcan’s structures fire 50% faster and gain massive regeneration. The Inferno Cannon also fires in a 360 radius and auto targets gods while under the effects of Volcanic Overdrive. Cost - 100 mana. Cooldown - 90s.

General
Clan tags may now be up to 5 characters. Existing clans will have an opportunity to change their tag once without a cooldown period.
Players Level 1 to 5 now have their own “Novice” Conquest queue (similar to an earlier implementation in Closed Beta). Players above Level 5 cannot join this queue, and players Level 1 to 5 cannot join the normal Conquest queue, even in a party. Arena and Domination do not have these restrictions.
Four and Five-person teams are allowed to queue the normal Conquest queue; however, the
match-making logic has been changed to better ensure that teams of 4 and 5 play mostly with other large teams.
The login screen has undergone a visual makeover.
You can now view the profile of your friends and prospective friends from the FRIEND screen in the Social menu.
A better presentation has been implemented for swapping gods while in draft mode.
The Top Ranked Players listing now only shows players that have played a ranked match in the last 7 days. Previously it showed players that had played any type of match in the last 7 days (although your rating was still determined solely by your performance in Ranked Matches).
Fixed a bug in which the Stats link on the Team page was not working.
Fixed several conditions on the end of match lobby screen in which data was not populating correctly.
Fixed a bug in which Win status for some matches on the History screen was incorrect.
Several tweaks to the Solo Practice bot AI.
Fixed a bug with changing resolution.
Players can no longer rent or purchase gods in draft mode.
Fixed an issue that prevented some players from playing Ranked matches because of minimum required gods purchased.
Fixed issue in draft mode that your chosen god disappeared.
Fixed issue in EOML where your accolades were not represented correctly
Familiars (Vulcan’s turrets / Bastet’s cats / etc) now show with a minion icon on mini-map.
A player being damaged by a player pet now tags both the pet and the owning player as having recently attacked a player.
Fixed an issue that could cause database issues upon large numbers of concurrent logins.
Spectator Changes
Added a new sync feature to keep spectators that are partied in sync with the party leader. This feature is designed to allow for live multicasting while still allowing spectators to manipulate time.
Improved the resiliency of spectator to minor network glitches.
Fixed an issue in which players would have an issue getting into a match after having spectated a match.
Fixed a crash-causing issue after rewinding.
Color blind colors no longer show when spectating.
Added an indicator to the minimap to represent the spectator’s location and rotation.
Fixed an issue where the timeline would display the time incorrectly when the match went over an hour.
Fixed issue with match invites not appearing after watching a demo recording
