Vainglory Forums

While I was waiting in queue time, I looked at some tutoriels just to spend the time. And while I looked at the tutorial for the Gold Mine (watch it for yourself if you doubt me), I found something interesting. Look at the screenshot :

Do you see the icons of the heroes on the mini-map ? I personnally don't recognize any of those two heroes. So there multiple possibilities :
1- These are old icons, therefore they don't look like any heroes as we know them.
2- The heroes had different colors/body, therefore we might not be able to recognize them
3- These are developpement heroes which weren't included in the final game for any reason.
4- These might be the future released heroes. I know, it's going far.

But any way, tell me what you think of it ?

Could be old icons for Catherine and Koshka. But I do hope they're new heroes :)

+rep to you for noticing this!

Yeah, that's what I thought too but I don't know, it just seemed weird haha

I was looking through twitter and saw SMEC say they plan on releasing new heroes every 4-6 weeks (but don't hold them to that, also said "no promises").

So they very likely do have new heroes lined up, but as for the matter of the icons, I would bet they're old icons or heroes they didn't feel were ready at the time of release.

Because of their free2play business model there's not a huge monetary reason to not release what they have. As for keeping the game balanced, there's tons of reasons to keep the starting roster to 10 (now 11 with Skaarf) heroes. Plus, moving forward SMEC can see how easy it is for people to save up to 8k glory and buy new heroes and then adjust accordingly.

I'm saving up for the newer heroes

Those are retired, at least to my knowledge.

But the devs are currently planning out not one, but three new heroes!
