Hero Remodels

Showcase View Improvements

Sometimes a hero needs to take a moment from the carnage of battle to stop and enjoy the scenery. With multiple improvements to the environment, the battlefield around you looks more alive than ever.

Added Skybox

The foreboding ether in the sky has been replaced with atmosphere and clouds visible in Showcase View.

Showcase View Tree Scale

Imposing trees now tower over your hero when using Showcase View on the default map.

Windblown Trees

Multiple maps now have trees that sway in the wind, but don't worry—they can't dodge tangos.

Dynamic Grass

The default map now has grass that blows gently in the battlefield breeze and moves about underfoot.
