UPDATE 3.0 - Tesla + Communications Rework

This update introduces significant changes to Vander Graaf's Tesla Coil Hero Block, plus and improved way of communicating with your teammates during a match. Additionally, there have been plenty of balancing changes, which aim to make Heroes and Blocks more useful.

Tesla Coil Rework

Instead of using his Static Gloves to attack via the Tesla Coils, Vander Graaf now uses his Static Gloves to charge the Teslas. Tesla Coils can still form a network and pass the electrical charge from one to the next (as long as they’re in range of each other). This means if you have four Tesla Coils built in a line, and the first one attacks (using its charge up to do so) the others can their pass their charge forwards to allow it to continue to attack. This should give Vander a few more opportunities to move around the arena a little more whilst his Tesla Coils can at least launch some attacks whilst he’s not nearby. However, he will need to return to them to recharge them once they’ve fired.

Messaging and Communications

By pressing the Left Alt key you can bring up a list of different messages you can send to your team. When you send one of these messages it will display a short line of text to let your team know you 'need a Heal Station', or to 'defend your objective'. If you feel that there’s a message missing that would be useful for communicating with your team, then submit it here and we’ll see which ones we can get added to the game!
