Dota Underlords Changelog

What's new in Dota Underlords 2nd August 2019

• Head to Head:
• Players are now paired off to fight directly against each other, and both take part in the same shared combat.
• When an odd number of players are present one of the players fights a clone of an actual player.
• Leaderboard now pairs off players when they're in head-to-head combat.
• New Ranked System:
• Rank is now a number you can see that moves up and down in a predictable way.
• Rank change is based solely on where you finish in a Ranked match and does not depend on your opponents' Rank.
• Any time you reach the next minor Rank, we also grant bonus rank points.
• Just like before, once you obtain a major Rank, it's locked in and you cannot drop below it
• More details and breakdown of rank thresholds here.
• New Casual Multiplayer Mode:
• Play multiplayer games without affecting your Rank.
• You will be matched against opponents of your same skill level.
• You can queue up solo or with friends.
• This is where you experiment with new builds, or complete those elusive challenges.
• Daily Challenges and Achievements can be earned in Casual Multiplayer matches.
• Ranked Multiplayer Mode Updates:
• Your Rank (Enforcer I, Upstart III, etc) is used to find opponents.
• Play Ranked matches solo or in a party, see this blog post for details about party ranked.
• New players will need to unlock ranked mode by playing 5 casual games. (Don't worry, accounts with at least one Multiplayer game will be grandfathered in.)
• Daily Challenges and Achievements can be earned in Ranked Multiplayer matches.

• Complete achievements to earn Proto Pass XP
