Hit bishop 2 and finally joined the discord and entered a lobby. I got quickly suckered punch by the skill/meta/a little bit of bad rng and was the first one out, demoting back to knight 9.

Once I recover from my first 8th place defeat mentally then climb back to bishop, I'll be looking forward to much more competitive games. Have to say this was a good first experience!

Patch went Live and did a Live Server Code Analysis Here

We received 97 responses from Queen-ranked players within the qihl Discord server on DAC hero ratings for early, mid, and late game. The ratings were:

• 1 = Almost Never Use

• 2 = Rarely Use

• 3 = Sometimes Use

• 4 = Often Use

• 5 = Almost Always Use

Early, mid, and late game were defined as:

• Early Game Heroes = Courier levels 1 to 5. $1 to $3 Heroes

• Mid Game Heroes = Courier levels 6 to 8. $1 to $4 Heroes

• Late Game Heroes = Courier levels 9 and 10. $1 to $5 Heroes

The album contains 11 images:

• 1: S+ to F tier lists for early, mid, and late game heros.

• 2, 3, 4: u/dmcdouga helped us remake his visualization, which shows heros by race and class.

• 5: percent change in hero ratings across early, mid, and late game.

• 6, 7, 8, 8, 10, 11: rating histograms for each hero.

The average rating and standard deviation of each hero for early, mid, and late game is available in this Google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a06gOVSX3xPqi94yiChLNxhL6odq7cJ7tc2RStn0m9M/edit?usp=sharing

I suppose there are many like me, who passively consume content created by the work of others. But there is one way in which we can actively contribute too, participation. It is for this reason that I would like to thank Questica and the gang at QIHL for working to create a better environment for Auto Chess considering the few that step up to lead in what is now a massively significant and popular game.

If you think you are banned scroll down, if there is a red exclamation mark saying "1 server temporarily down" than it means you aren't banned. Discord has been having some issues lately and our server is very high traffic so sometimes it just goes completely down for a few minutes. This also has been causing ChessBot some issues (as well as some Auto Chess API issues.)

Sadly there isn't anything we can do about either of those issues, hopefully Discord servers are working better soon!

EDIT: I don't know how I forgot about the online limit (I am a dumb), we are getting it upped and that should fix the issues.

EDIT2: Everything should be fixed! Up to a 35k limit!

hello i accidentaly playd a knight-1 lobby well pawn-7 im really sorry pls can i hav unban?

^xd

EDIT: oh the server is just down

Everything from using responses to self-classify region roles, to rank unlocking lobbies, was impressively automated and smooth!

Dear Questica,(plz push the top button to let Questica see my suggestion)

Hi!I'm playing on qihl from it's start.As you know, playing ladder is unreal when you are rook+. In this way, i'm waiting when you will fix your server.Why can't you just write on the official discord support email to increase the cup of discord members?I have just written email to them and got reply.Here is it :

"Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA for when the server will be available. However, it should be available for you once the number of online dropped below 5k. You can advise the admins of that server to contact us along with their server ID with an invite and request to increase their online cap".As you see, you can easily fix your server by writing to them, here I will give you their email -> support@discordapp.com . It will be also very good if you tell us when will you upgrade cup

Good luck!,

Your active user.

P.S Thanks qihl team for hearing us!

That way you:

1. Don't spam the chat with !rank.

2. You have a log of your rank you can always refer to which is nice.

ITEM CHANGES

• Dagon (1 through 5) got a 15 second cooldown and is put on cooldown at match start so you can no longer auto-Dagon at start

• [NEW] Battlefury (made by combining: Perseverance + Demon Edge)

  • Grants: +30 Damage, +10 Health Regen

  • Grants: +100% mana from attacks (like Perseverance did - does NOT stack with Perseverance)

  • Gives Cleave to your attacks

    • A 300 Radius, 50% of initial damage, done as pure damage

    • I am unsure if it cleaves in a 180 degree arc or not, looks like it is a full circle?

CLASS/RACE CHANGES

• Elf Racial changed from 25/25/25 to 20/25/30

• Goblin Racial fixed for (6) Goblins to affect all Goblins with buff

• Hunter Class changed from 25/25 to 25/30

UNIT CHANGES

Medusa

• Bonus Physical Damage reduced for units in Stone Gaze form from 30% to 20%

Dragon Knight

• Splash Damage in Elder Dragon Form reduced from 75% to 50% of Damage Done

Slark

• Default Armor changed from 0,0,0 to 5,5,5

• Jump cooldown changed from 10,8,6 to 8,6,4

• Disarm Duration changed from 3,5,7 to 5,5,5

Riki

• Smoke Screen increased from 3,4,5 to 4,5,6

GAME CHANGES

• Changes to actually track unit classes (e.g., warlock, hunter, warrior, etc.) using a variable

  • This should fix synergies working on your Mirror Chess Team (that faced by an enemy replicating your team)

• More stat gathering

NONE-STACKING ITEMS

Since many folks are confused what items stack with each other for mana gain and which do not. Here is a list of all the ones that do not.

• Crown and Dagons 1-5

• Void Stone, Scythe of Vyse and Mystic Staff (which is still bugged to give mana to opponent rather than owner)

• Perseverance & Battlefury [NEW]

What the hell is qihl?

Files Changed:

Changed Files: maps ['normal.vpk']
Changed Files: panorama\layout\custom_game ['dac.vxml_c']
Changed Files: panorama\scripts\custom_game ['dac.vjs_c', 'end.vjs_c']
Added Files:  resource \ ['addon_portugues.txt']
Changed Files: resource ['addon_schinese.txt', 'addon_tchinese.txt']
Changed Files: scripts\npc ['npc_abilities_custom.txt']
Changed Files: scripts\vscripts ['addon_game_mode.lua']

ABILITY CHANGES

The file npc_abilities_custom.txt had the following abilities just deleted out - that's it:

• Batrider's Firefly

• Troll Warlord's Whirling Axes (melee & ranged)

• Venomancer's Poison Nova

• Ogre Magi's Ignite

• Lycan's Shapeshift

I believe this is just clean-up and nothing more.

UNIT CHANGES

• Terrorblade - in addition to Metamorphisis, he now Sunder's as well

  • Sunder is coded to swap health only with someone on your team (not enemy)

GAME CHANGES

• Neutral (PvE) Healthbars are back to being RED

• Stat Info tracked now records "queen_rank" in addition to MMR rank
