PVP.net V1.60

Changes to normal draft mode were not implemented and were deployed with V1.0.0.141.

• Normal Draft Mode:
  • Normal draft has changed so that premade groups are not prioritized over solo players.
    • Solo players have a 20% chance of being the team captain with banning powers and first pick, regardless of the premade status of the rest of the team.
    • If a solo player is not team captain, the player will be given a random slot in the pick order.
    • If players group up before a game, their host absorbs all of their chances, i.e. the host of a 4-man premade has an 80% chance to be captain.
• Ranked Solo/Duo Queue
  • The Free to Play rotation has been removed from Ranked Solo/Duo Queue.
  • Unlocked champions that appear on the Free to Play rotation will still be playable.
• You may now rename your buddy groups by double-clicking the name of the group.
• Fixed a bug where some buddies would appear to be level 0 with no information.
• Fixed a bug where the sound at the end of champion select would play too loudly.
• Fixed a bug where swap offers in champion select would persist into your next game.

Champions

Darius, the Hand of Noxus

• Hemorrhage (Innate)
  • Darius aims his attacks strategically, causing his target to bleed. This effect stacks up to 5 times.
• Decimate (Q)
  • Darius swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the blade take more damage than those struck by the shaft.
• Crippling Strike (W)
  • Darius' next attack severs a crucial artery. As the target bleeds out, their movement and attack speeds are slowed. Crippling Strike's cooldown is lower the more bloodied the target.
• Apprehend (E)
  • Darius hones his axe, granting him passive armor penetration. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.
• Noxian Guillotine (Ultimate)
