We are working at full capacity to fix them as soon as possible:Normal and Ranked Matchmaking — temporarily disabled due to an issue with hero selection during the draft phase. We plan to deploy a hotfix later today, which will immediately unlock Normal matchmaking. We’ll enable Ranked mode a bit later to give everyone time to get comfortable and learn the ropes.Party System (Group Play) — currently unavailable. We are actively working on it and doing our absolute best to enable co-op play within the next couple of days.Text Chat: It is currently unstable. We plan to completely rework and fix it within a couple of days, so we recommend refraining from using it for now.🎮 How to Play Right Now?Don't worry, there's plenty to do!

  The Final Countdown: Alpha Test #1 Starts Tomorrow!💥

  Hey everyone! The wait is almost over—our first playtest kicks off tomorrow! We’ve managed to pack in most of what we planned, but unfortunately, we had to cut a few things and completely hold back others (like our new Healer hero) because we just couldn't get them to the finish line in time. Also, please note that a few features won't be available during the first two days. If everything runs smoothly, we plan to roll them out around day 3 or 4. 🔑Game Access & Key Waves:Launch: We will send out the first batch of 500 keys right as the test starts.Next 2 hours: We’ll release two more batches of 500 keys each (totaling 1,500 keys), provided the servers hold up well. 🔔What to expect during the playtest:We’ll be pushing daily updates based on your feedback. Please make sure to use the in-game bug-report feature if you run into any issues or have suggestions on what we should improve, rework, or add! We’ll also be gradually unlocking new features, and down the line, we might enable Steam friend invites for those who already have access. Stay tuned for more updates right here on Discord. That’s all for now. We can’t wait to see you all on the battlegrounds!👊
