Added 6 new heroes to Hero Labs, a new experimental hero matchmaking mode. The heroes are 홀리데이, 칼리코, Wrecker, Fathom, Viper and Magician (temp names). The goal of this mode is to invite players to help us in giving hero design feedback while heroes are in very early phases. Most heroes in this mode will have placeholder models, names, effects, etc (some exceptions are older in-dev heroes that had more developed art). They will also sometimes have placeholder/copy-paste abilities for certain slots if that ability slot is still TBD (such as Magician ultimate). There will be a specific hero labs section on the forum to post feedback on these. Heroes in this mode will often be removed, abilities changed, new heroes added, removed heroes re-added, etc. Patch notes for changes to heroes in this mode will be posted on the Hero Labs subforum. This mode will have limited testing hours for now while we gauge activity, in order to ensure faster queue times. You must have at least 50 games played to be able to queue here. If you don't get a new hero selected (since there are less new heroes than there are players), you will be considered higher priority for subsequent matches to get a new hero from your roster selection.
Backdoor protection detection range for troopers increased (harder to kill troopers approaching the objectives with long range spells to stall making the game think you are backdooring when you aren't)
Trooper Soul Orbs now have a 90ms buffer to allow the server to do better calculations on who shot the orb first, to minimize latency advantages for denying
Trooper soul changed from 50/50% in the kill/orb to 60/40%
Guardian resist vs troopers changed from starting at 70% and ending at -30% at 10 min to starting at 60% and ending at -35% at 8 minutes
Medic Trooper heal now has 2 charges; time between casts is 6s [does not consume a charge when healing other troopers, mainly affects waves pushing on their own]
Medic Trooper heal cooldown increased from 6s to 35s
Connection hallways behind the Chapel and Firehouse now has an option to continue inside to the Walker arenas
Neutral camps beside Amber Purple and Sapphire Yellow Walker arenas moved from the ground floor to the upper floor
Urn comeback properties now require an 8% net worth lead to kick in
If the Urn hasn't been delivered within 90 seconds of pickup time, it now drains your health for 1% of Max HP per second (the timer is per team). Your regen is disabled during this.
Whenever the Urn is dropped after 90 seconds of pickup time, it starts moving back to its spawn point immediately and cannot be picked up by the same team for 12 seconds.
Increased speed Urn walks back
Redesigned stairs from central canal to the outer lanes (near Urn spawn)
Added Rank History tab to profile, currently only visible for yourself. You can click on previous ranks to view the Rank Report summary for that interval
Fixing hitting ESC to close to intro movie also closing the ranked summary popup
Mid Boss respawn timer decreases with subsequent boss kills, from 7 to 7/6/5 minutes

Steam Input Analog Action: "Aim". This uses Angle-based sensitivity options in Steam Input (work-in-progress feature).

Breakables spawn time increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes
Breakables 영혼(소울) reduced from 35 + 3/min to 30 + 2.5/min
Urn pickup locations are the same as before, however now the drop-off locations will be variable based on which team is leading. If there isn't a lead over 8% net worth, then the drop-off location is the same as before. If there is, then the drop-off location will be closer to the losing team's side. The minimap will show where the drop-off location is as usual, as well as an indicator in the world that helps show you where it is.
The 70s respawn time now happens at 30 min instead of 35 min
There is now a respawn curve that goes from 70s to 75s over 30->40 minutes
Base 가디언 and Shrines no longer have out-of-combat regen
