The October update has been released. This gargantuan patch brings new features, item changes, and major champion rebalancing.

Custom lobbies are now available! You can now make private lobbies for you and your friends or team. This is a great new feature for anyone wanting to test ideas out in a lower pressure environment, people who want to play games with and against their friends, and teams wanting to scrim.

Custom lobbies are currently restricted to full 5v5 teams, but in future will be able to accomodate any number of players.

Twitch streaming has been integrated. You can now stream your games directly to Twitch.tv through your Infinite Crisis client instead of using dedicated streaming software to do so. You can find settings for tweaking your stream quality in the game options.

Items have received a graphical overhaul.

The new icons are designed to make items more distinct and quicker to recognise at a glance.

You can check out all of the new item visuals on our items page.

The amplifier system is now implemented. Amplifiers are sets of seven upgrades, designed to help you customise and build your champions to better suit your playstyle and team compositions.

Amplifiers are made up of augments, which boost your champion's stats directly, such as increasing attack speed or adding extra armor per level, and mods, which affect artifacts and have effects such as boosting the damage of a certain item tier, or reducing it's price. Modded items will have changed names to reflect their status, such as a Waynetech Nil Weapon for a NW affected by a Waynetech mod.

An early version of the amplifier system is introduced this patch, which comes with a variety of preset amplifiers designed for various situations, such as playing a carry or jungling as a bruiser. In later patches, the full amplifier system will be released, allowing you to create fully custom amplifier sets with augments and mods of your choosing.

Dodge penalties have been introduced. Leaving a match on the champion select screen will disable the ability to join groups and queues for a short time. This duration increases with the number of dodges within the past 24 hours, and is currently capped at 15 minutes after three dodges.

Coast City changes:

Surveillance cameras are now team colored for easier identification of friendly and enemy cameras.

The area below the bottom lane has received a layout change and is now home to the Raider which is a team objective that gives team credits and XP. The Coast City minimap has been updated to be less cluttered and reflect the changes to the bottom lane. Pathing around bases in Coast City has been improved.

Siege Drones now stay focused on a turret once they start attacking one. This helps normalize the damage each side takes when their waves push and speeds up the game overall. When in doubt, kill the siege drone.

The amount of time that credits dropped to the ground continue to exist has been reduced to five seconds, down from fifteen seconds. Ambient credits over time on Coast City has been lowered from 4 credits every two seconds, to 3 credits every two seconds.

Power Relays: Relays now grant 150 XP and 150 Credits upon being captured. Both will be split between the players currently channeling when the capture is complete. If the Doomsday Device is fired on top of a captured Power Relay, the Power Relay will be neutralized and will no longer belong to the team that captured it.

Surveillance Drones: These drones are always visible, and can now only be damaged by basic attacks. Surveillance Drones drop 50 gold on kill (gold is neutral and drops at their feet). Surveillance Drones now display health bars to represent the number of hits of damage they have taken.

Doomsday Device: The Doomsday Guardian now applies a two second debuff to the player it is attacking (on each hit) that reduces their outgoing damage. The Doomsday Device Guardian has received a reduction in max health and damage. The Doomsday Device firing skill now does more up front damage to both characters and structures. It also now instantly vaporizes any creature or drone. The auto-fire timer has been extended to 90 seconds.

All champions (except Doomsday) have received major changes this patch.

Base attack speeds for all champions have been lowered, with an increase to their attack speed deltas, meaning that the rate in which their attack speed increases as they level up has been boosted. Base attack damage has been increased for all champions to help with last hitting drones. Critical hits now deal 200% damage, up from 150%. Base health pools have been increased.

Melee abilities have been boosted to compensate for the extra danger of having to move into melee range, to help against ranged champions with a lot of poke and pressure. Ability ratios have been increased across the board, so that champions will gain better advantages as they buy stronger items. Melee champions have received armor and health buffs.

Enforcers now generally attack and scale with Power Damage. Supports now have their supporting abilities scale off of Will instead of Power Damage, to reduce support champions being built as Power Damage blasters and still being able to support a little too well.

Ultimate abilities have seen scaling changes, and are broadly weakened at rank one to smooth out the power bump going from level five to level six.



Arcane Green Lantern's support elements have changed to scale off of bonus Health instead of Power Damage. This introduces a choice of what he wants to do, instead of giving him everything when he buys Power Damage. The range on Shackles was also reduced to shrink his ability to zone players.

Cyborg had the least ratio scaling of any of our Champions by far, and these changes bring him back into line. A major component of that was adding a ratio to his Trace Energy to ensure it remains relevant into the late game. He's also seen his will costs reduced to prevent him from tapping out so quickly in the early lane phase.

Cascade's Attack Speed bonus has been increased to account for the new lower base Attack Speed, and to improve his late game burst damage.

As one of our original Champions, Gaslight Batman has seen the game from the earliest prototypes through to the beta. Though he is still one of our strongest champions, his kit has been due for an overhaul. Echoes has seen a major change with this update to give him additional strength in his Marksman role. His new Echoes/Reverb mechanic adds an additional level of planning and skill to his sequences, and is incredibly fun and powerful when pulled off correctly. Though Echoes no longer reveals targets, his Sonic Shell will still reveal those hit.

Gaslight Batman's base Attack Speed changed from .84+0.008(lvl) to .64+.019(lvl)

Gaslight Catwoman is still an absolute terror coming out of the jungle to gank a lane, but we've made a few changes to mitigate her burst damage. We changed the Steam Claws multiplier to reduce the burst from a point blank range shot where all three missiles hit the target. We felt it was rewarding the easy skill shot after using Predator's Grace too strongly.

We also removed her ability to apply Predator's Mark with Blood Hunt, since three ults were simply too strong when pulled off. Her Blood Hunt ratios and damage have increased to reward successful stealth attacks.

Gaslight Catwoman's base Attack Damage changed from 49+3(lvl) to 59+3(lvl)

Joker possesses a dominating array of control elements, and very strong damage to boot. In this balance pass we reduced the potency of his Teeth Trap's slow slightly while upping his damage overall. Mr. Punchy had minor reductions in range and speed to make dodging it slightly easier.

Nightmare Batman's Silver Batarang was originally balanced for a time when melee champions had an incredibly hard time sticking to their targets. Now that basic attacking is smoother, the energy return made the attack a bit too easy to spam. These changes should help bring it into line.

His Bat Swarm is now set up to return more energy when he successfully uses it to close on a target, but leaves him worse off if it's used as an escape.

Savagery's Attack Penetration was giving him too much early power. To balance that, the Attack Penetration component has been removed.

Nightmare Batman's base Attack Damage changed from 49+3.1(lvl) to 61+3(lvl)

Poison Ivy remains a dominate Support choice, but she now needs to decide if she's going to focus more on a Blaster build by buying Power Damage or a Support build by buying Will and Cooldown Reduction. Her ultimate has had the healing component removed. This change allowed us to increase the potency of her passive and generally went a long way towards balancing her as a Champion.

Blow Kiss also saw its range and blind reduced slightly along with its cooldown. It is still a strong trade skill in lane, but can no longer completely shut down an opposing Marksman.

Poison Ivy's base Attack Damage changed from 38+2.2(lvl) to 52+2.2(lvl)

Poison Ivy's base Attack Speed changed from .77 to .57+.011(lvl)

Wonder Woman boasts the claim to the highest win ratio of all Champions on live. Though not the most popular choice, her endurance, control elements, and damage let her dominate matches in the right hands and especially with a coordinated team.

She has undergone a major overhaul as part of our change to have all enforcers scale off of Power Damage instead of Attack Damage. Her changes have focused on reducing the complete shutdown nature of her ultimate, and generally reducing her ability to freely bounce around the battlefield during team fights. She is still an incredibly strong enforcer, and we'll be keeping a close eye on her as her Power Damage build has shown itself to be very strong.

Wonder Woman's base Attack Damage changed from 44+2.5(lvl) to 58+2.5(lvl)
