One of the reasons why the League of Heroes has been thriving in the past decade is that fist games will release patches regularly, including balance changes, bug fixes and new content. They regard game updates as a service. The version update of the League of Heroes usually releases a patch every two weeks to adapt to the changes in the competitive environment and the professional arena. They will adjust the strength of heroes, equipment and runes according to the data.
Of course, in addition to game changes and new features, each version basically has new skins and new heroes added irregularly. According to the live broadcast on the opening day last week, there may be 6 new heroes and at least 140 skins added to the Summoner Canyon this year. Since the Heroes League client has built in the cloud top game mode, the game update frequency of cloud top game is basically consistent with these patches.
In the past two years, at the beginning of the year, the fist game will provide players with the patch update time of that year as a reference. This week, the official released the patch update date from version 11.1 on January 6 to version 11.24 on December 8. It is worth noting that fist games may adjust the patch launch time at any time for various reasons, but in most cases, they will still keep the update schedule. The League of Heroes had 25 major patches last year and is expected to have 24 this year. However, 11.24 generally has a B patch as an adjustment before the New Year holiday.
In addition, other game items of the fist game, such as cloud top chess game, heroic league strategy card, fearless contract, and heroic league game, are basically updated at the same frequency as the PC version of the heroic league, and patches are also released every two weeks. However, since IOS and Android platforms need to be deployed to the App Store, they are often updated on Thursday rather than Wednesday. As for the Heroes League PC version, the update is generally delayed by one day in the national service, that is, Thursday morning. You can postpone the estimated patch date by one day.
The following is the patch number and estimated release date of the 2021 League of Heroes PC version.
Judging from the release cycle of this patch, this year's version of the League of Heroes S11 global finals is likely to be the 11.18 version, while the end of the S11 season and the start of pre-season games are in the 11.22 version. The 11.4 version is due to the Washington Birthday and the 11.14 version is due to the Independence Day, which are federal holidays in the United States. Therefore, the game update of that week will be postponed by one day. On the contrary, because there is Thanksgiving Day in the week of 11.23, the update date is one day earlier.
