With the new weekend comes the latest patch. This week’s patch is much smaller than the previous, with the standard change in the hero rotation as well as a few bug fixes and additions to the shop. The name of the patch "Old faces return, new faces emerge" refers to the old pollywog model and the new hero 'The Bezerker' being added into the game.
GosuGamers has done a "HoN Hero Spotlight" on the new hero and can be found here. Perhaps the most notable change and the one that will make many happy, is the fix to the fps drop bug that was introduced in patch 2.5.6 for some players. Other than this, the patch featured a host of new cosmetic alt avatars.
