Hero Availability Update + Upcoming Heroes (March 23, 2018)
Hero update time! It’s been a relatively quiet few weeks since our last update, with a hero per week and no stealth releases on the Americas servers.
First, Lauriel was released to the Americas servers, and players immediately found out why she’s Tier SS in our latest rankings; it’s been Tulen and Lauriel battles ever since for this particular writer. Then Max was released to both the Americas and Europe servers, with a bit of a mishap causing Max to be available early for those lucky enough to strike. We’ve since placed Max in Tier S, with his game-changing global ultimate proving either boon or bust depending on how reckless Max’s user is.
Those in Southeast Asia’s Valiant server (Singapore, Malaysia, The Philippines) promptly received Lauriel thereafter, providing the region with its second top-tier mage to go with Raz. Finally, the Americas get The Joker today, an oddball marksman who functions more like a physical damage-dealing mage. Early indications show that his passive continues to be displayed incorrectly, doing over twice as much damage as in the description.
India received Gildur and Ignis since our last update, the two magical geezers bringing their hero count to 40.
Upcoming Heroes
Based on the Twitter account @AOVLEAKS, the following heroes will be released to the Americas (and Europe for Liliana) on these dates:
That’s (in order) a Tier 1 hero, a hero being banned and picked constantly in Taiwan’s GCS, a Tier SS hero, and another Tier SS hero. If you were saving your gold for this moment, then congratulations. And if you only have enough for one, choose wisely.
Based on past hero releases, we’re predicting that Wisp will release sometime around April 18.

Any leaks for SEA server? I have both Gold and Vouchers ready for the next hero release, just wondering who it’ll be… I don’t anything will come out before April 1, though, due to Rank S2 ending this March 31. I really hope Superman comes out next, maybe it’ll mean more people play Tank and I can try other roles haha
