Patch notes

What is new on Arena Academy. These are changes to this website, not to the game.

RSS feed
v0.13.1Latest

Early-game gold, overlays on the home page and sounds you can hear

Improved:

  • The broadcast overlays now have their own section on the home page, with a picture, what each overlay does, and the way in.
  • Saved teams show which side they are on: the Blue side or Red side button lights up.
  • The contents list beside the overlay guide, the privacy page and the patch notes marks the section you are reading.

Fixed:

  • Live scorebar: gold is now read in the early game too, where the game writes it as a plain number such as 4787, and it stays locked while it climbs every second. Lone zeros (no towers or lords yet) read more reliably as well.
  • Overlay sounds can be heard while you run the draft: the control panel plays them too (switch it off under Sounds). The guide explains how to hear the OBS sources themselves.
v0.13.0

A standby screen for between games

New:

  • Standby screen: a full-screen overlay for before a game or a break, with a big countdown to the next game, a headline that follows it ("Game 2 starts in", then "Starting now"), a message, both teams with the series score, and up to six sponsor logos.
  • A Standby tab in the overlay control panel: start the countdown with one click, add or take off a minute, pause it, and manage the sponsor logos. A short call plays on stream when the countdown ends.

Fixed:

  • Player card: changing "Hide by itself" right after the card hid no longer brings it back.
v0.12.0

Hero showcase and player card overlays

Two new broadcast overlays: both line-ups after the draft, and a player card for an MVP or a player introduction.

New:

  • Hero showcase: a full-screen scene of both line-ups after the draft, with every pick as a large portrait card, the player names and the bans. The cards rise in one by one each time the scene goes live.
  • Player card: a lower third with a player's name, team, hero, a title, a stats line and an MVP badge. Set it up in the new Player card tab, show it on stream and let it hide by itself after 8, 15 or 30 seconds.
  • New sounds for both: an intro for the hero showcase and a sting when the player card appears, each with its own switch.

Improved:

  • The overlay guide covers the two new overlays and the Player card tab, step by step.
v0.11.1

Auto-revealed bans, instant hero art and player name fixes

Improved:

  • Broadcast overlays: in a ranked draft the blind bans reveal by themselves when the ban timer runs out, as in the game. It can be switched off in the Draft tab.
  • The pick-and-ban overlay loads every hero portrait ahead of time, so a pick appears on stream the moment it is locked in.

Fixed:

  • Player names have one box per player again, so a name list no longer runs together ("player1player2"), and pasting a comma-separated list fills them all.
  • Long player names now fit under the picks instead of being cut off.
  • Typing quickly in the overlay control panel no longer drops letters.
v0.11.0

Overlay sounds, a desktop control room and a full guide

The broadcast overlays now sound like a broadcast, the control panel uses the whole screen on a desktop, and a step-by-step guide explains every part.

New:

  • Sound effects on stream: bans, picks, skips, locks, the blind-ban reveal, the end of the draft, a countdown tick for the last 10 seconds and a time-up buzzer, plus the versus card intro and a game-won hit. Each sound can be switched on or off, with a volume and a test button.
  • A full step-by-step guide on the Broadcast overlays page: OBS setup, every tab of the control panel, scene switching, the live scorebar, sounds and troubleshooting.

Improved:

  • The overlay control panel becomes a control room on a wide screen: controls beside a large hero grid, a live preview of the pick-and-ban band, the series score always in reach, and both teams side by side.
  • The overlay setup check explains why Chrome and OBS do not see each other's pages and adds a test that sends a message through OBS.

Fixed:

  • Live scorebar: the game source list now shows each source's kind, hides browser sources, previews the chosen source and warns when it shows no game picture or is one of the overlays, so fields no longer sit on Waiting. Reading is also faster.
v0.10.1

Overlays on the home page

Improved:

  • The Tools entry on the home page now mentions the OBS broadcast overlays.
v0.10.0

Broadcast overlays for OBS

Stream a Mobile Legends match with your own pick-and-ban band, team intro and live top scorebar, run from a dock on your PC.

New:

  • Broadcast overlays: transparent OBS overlays for pick and ban (tournament or ranked draft, with full hero portraits on the picks), team versus team, and a top scorebar, in three looks.
  • A control panel for OBS: set teams and logos, the series score and the draft, and every overlay updates at once. Everything stays in your browser.
  • The top scorebar reads lords, towers, gold, kills and the clock from the game itself, and shows the game's own numbers whenever a reading is unsure.
  • A shared draft simulator link can go straight into OBS as a pick-and-ban overlay.
v0.9.0

Legend draft, shorter timers and a friendlier site

New:

  • Draft simulator: a Legend ranked draft. Both teams ban 2 blind, the bans are shown, then 2 more each, so 8 bans in all before the picks.

Improved:

  • Draft simulator: New draft can be undone, and closing or reloading a draft in progress asks first, so a stray click or refresh no longer loses it.
  • Keyboard and screen readers: a skip-to-content link comes first, and the page language is set to match yours.
  • Win-rate calculator: if your target is not above your current rate it says so in plain words, and the sign-in fields accept digits only.
  • For AI tools: llms.txt and the Markdown index now list Wallpapers and the league calculator and describe the draft as Epic to Mythical Immortal.

Changed:

  • Draft timer: 30 seconds per ban phase and pick in every ranked draft, and 40 seconds in the tournament draft.

Fixed:

  • Rank filters, role filters, page numbers, the 404 page and the error page now follow your language, and the error page no longer shows technical wording.
  • Opening a page past the last one (an old link, for example) now takes you to the first page instead of an empty list, and a few small links are easier to tap on phones.
v0.8.1

Menus that stay on screen

Fixed:

  • Dropdown menus (rank, period, lane, language and others) no longer open partly off the screen on phones; they move to fit.
  • Tablets: the page no longer scrolls sideways; the full menu bar now starts at laptop width and tablets use the compact menu.
  • Rank names are written the same way everywhere: Mythical Honor and Mythical Immortal instead of Honor or Mythic Honor.
v0.8.0

A cleaner, fuller layout

Pages use the full width on desktop, nothing sits in boxes any more, and several Academy and esports pages read correctly.

Improved:

  • Hero pages open with the hero's tier, win, pick and ban rate, and skills and guides sit in two columns.
  • Equipment: filter by category, with items removed from the game hidden unless you ask for them, and each item page lists more items of its kind.
  • Emblem talents are grouped by tier, and role bonuses, battle spells and community guides use the full width on desktop.
  • Draft simulator: a tidier hero picker with labelled lane and role filters and a count of heroes shown, and undo, redo, copy link and new draft together under the board.
  • Tier list on phones fits five heroes per row, and patch notes and privacy have a list of sections beside the text.

Changed:

  • No more boxed cards: forms, calculators and messages sit on the page itself, set apart by thin lines. Tools lists the simulators first.
  • Academy sections are now called Role Bonuses and Emblem Talents, every Academy page has a back link, and lanes and periods are written the same way everywhere.

Fixed:

  • Rank tiers show rank names in your language instead of Chinese, one row per rank with its divisions and points.
  • League calculator: teams without a logo show their initials ("Team A" is TA) instead of the same three letters, and the table fits on a phone.
  • Phones: the draft page and the finished draft no longer scroll sideways, and page numbers stay on one line.
v0.7.2

Draft fixes

Improved:

  • Draft hero list: sort by hero ID (the new default) or by name, and type a hero ID in the search to find that hero.

Changed:

  • The draft's learned model, pro meta and game-timing data now refresh twice a week instead of every day.

Fixed:

  • Draft summary: when two heroes want the same lane, "Lane by lane" now still fills all five lanes and marks the hero moved to a lane it does not usually play as off-lane, instead of showing "Not picked".
  • Closed the last reported security issue in the tools used to build the site.
v0.7.1

Security updates

Fixed:

  • The site now runs on patched versions of its web framework and image and network libraries, closing several reported security issues.
v0.7.0

Tournament draft, Epic draft and a smarter coach

The draft simulator now plays the tournament draft and the Epic ranked draft, and its coach is measured and tuned on professional games, with a machine-learning option and a review of every pick.

New:

  • Tournament draft: switch the format to Tournament for twenty turns of one hero each (bans F S F S F S, picks F, S S, F F, S, bans S F S F, picks S, F F, S), where the team that bans first also picks first.
  • Tournament bans are open to both teams: a banned hero can't be banned again or picked, and any ban turn can be skipped.
  • A draft order strip shows all twenty turns and whose turn is next, and the timer skips a ban or takes the top suggestion when it runs out.
  • Tournament stats can come from any rank from All ranks to Mythical Glory; Mythic Immortal uses Mythical Glory data. Share links keep the format.
  • Epic ranked draft: each team bans 1 blind, both are shown, then 2 blind each, then the usual 1-2-2-2-2-1 picks.
  • The ranked draft also shows the draft order strip, so both teams see which ban phase or pick is next.
  • Choose how suggestions are made: Coach (rules that explain themselves), Machine learning (a model trained on pro games) or Blend. Each shows how often it predicted the pros' actual pick on games it never saw.
  • Smarter bans and picks: once the enemy has shown picks, bans aim at the lanes they still need and skip heroes they have no lane for, and picks move up heroes the enemy is likely to take next.
  • Pick review: a finished draft grades every ban and pick from Best to Mistake against the suggestions at that moment, with each team's draft accuracy, win-chance swing per pick, damage split and frontline.
  • Early, mid or late game: suggestions show when each hero is strongest, a power curve compares both teams by game length (before 14 minutes, 14-18, after 18), and the picking team sees when its draft and the enemy's peak.
  • Filter heroes by role (tank, fighter, assassin, mage, marksman, support) as well as by lane; heroes with two roles or two lanes appear under both.

Improved:

  • The coach's weights are now fitted on professional games: it ranks the hero pros actually picked about 40% higher than before, and enemy picks are predicted by the more accurate machine-learning model.
  • The machine-learning model now always counts a higher win rate in a hero's favour, so in ranked its top suggestion lowers your win chance far less often (8% of the time instead of 19%).
  • Blind bans now weigh how likely the enemy is to ban the same hero, so two teams following the advice waste fewer bans on the same heroes.
  • The draft's learned model, pro meta and game-timing data now refresh automatically every day.

Changed:

  • The draft timer now gives 40 seconds for every ban and pick, in both formats.

Fixed:

  • The pick review now grades each step with the data that was available at that moment, heroes with a mage role count as magic damage, and empty cells now say why (not picked yet, no data, no ban).
v0.6.1

Search anywhere, and the tier list in the footer

Jump to any page, tool or hero from the new search in the navbar.

New:

  • Search: the magnifier in the navbar opens a list of every page, tool and Academy section, and finds heroes as you type. Use the arrow keys and Enter, or press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac) or / from anywhere. On phones it opens as a full-width sheet.

Improved:

  • The hero tier list now has its own link in the footer, so it is easy to find.
v0.6.0

Draft simulator and draft coach

Practise the Mythic-and-above ranked draft with a friend, with a coach that reads every pick from live hero stats.

New:

  • Draft simulator: both teams ban blind on one device (3, then 2), then pick in the 1-2-2-2-2-1 order for Mythic, Honor, Glory or Immortal, with a coin flip, an optional timer, undo, redo and a link to share the draft.
  • Every ban slot is one player, who can ban a hero or skip their ban; skipped bans are shown once both teams have locked.
  • Pick suggestions think like a coach: a lane of its own for every hero, counters against the lane opponent, team needs such as a frontliner and magic damage, and a warning when a hero can still be counter-picked.
  • Ban suggestions weigh the heroes that counter the heroes you plan to play, and spend less on a hero the enemy is likely banning too.
  • An assistant predicts the enemy's next picks and the bans that would hurt them most, and switches to lane matchups once their five heroes are in.
  • A win-chance bar shows which team the draft favours as picks come in, and the finished draft gets a summary with every matchup, lane by lane, and a pick-by-pick chart.
  • The draft simulator, its suggestions and the draft summary are available in English, Indonesian and Russian, following the site language.
  • The home page shows this week's bans worth spending and safe first picks at Mythic, and Draft is in the menu.
v0.5.0

Find wallpapers by hero

New:

  • Wallpapers: type a hero's name to see only their wallpapers, for desktop or phone, and clear the filter with one tap.

Improved:

  • Wallpapers open at full size when you tap the picture, and every download size is listed, the ones for your device first.
  • A hero's Wallpapers tab now shows the date and download sizes too, and hero names on a wallpaper lead to that hero's wallpapers.

Fixed:

  • Group wallpapers with every hero say how many heroes are in them instead of naming the first three, and phone wallpapers fit five to a row on wide screens.
  • Loading and error messages follow your language, and back links are easier to tap on a phone.
v0.4.0

A new look, and a tier list

Every page is redesigned: tables and lists instead of boxes, a serif for headlines, and easier reading on a phone.

New:

  • Tier list: heroes grouped from S to D by win rate, for the role, lane, rank and period you choose.
  • Hero trends are real charts now: win, pick and ban rate over time, each with its own scale and dates, oldest to newest.
  • Builds show how often each build is picked, and the battle spell's icon; schedules show your own local time next to the league's.

Improved:

  • Headlines and long text (lore, guides, notes) are set in a serif, and numbers line up in columns. Russian headlines now use the serif too.
  • Rankings and hero tables fit a phone screen without sideways scrolling, and filters are dropdowns you can drive with the keyboard.
  • Dropdowns close with a short animation and with Escape, move with the arrow keys, and every animation respects your system's reduced-motion setting.
  • Pages keep loading when one of the two data servers is busy: the site quietly asks the other one. Signed-in requests are never redirected.
  • Equipment is grouped by category, guides read as articles and show every recommended partner and counter, and the 404 page has a hero search.

Changed:

  • The cards are gone: lists, tables and plain sections replace them, and the footer is a quiet colophon.

Fixed:

  • Opening a guide with a mistyped address now shows the not-found page instead of an error, and the hero search starts loading as soon as you click into it.
  • Number fields no longer make iPhones zoom in when you tap them.
v0.3.0

Easier to find, share and read by AI tools

Links to Arena Academy now show a proper preview card, search engines get a clearer picture of every page, and AI tools can read the site as plain Markdown.

New:

  • Share previews: a link to any page now shows a branded card with the page's own title and description in chat apps and on social networks.
  • Markdown pages for AI tools: add .md to any page address (for example /heroes/1.md) to get its facts as plain Markdown, without the page around it.
  • An llms.txt index lists every Markdown page (and the footer links to it), and the rankings page takes filters such as ?days=30&rank=mythic. Tools that ask for Markdown get it at the normal address too.

Improved:

  • Search: every page has its own title and description, hero and item pages are named after what they show, and a sitemap lists them all.
  • Guide pages use the guide's own screenshot as the share picture.

Changed:

  • Hero addresses now use the hero's name, such as /heroes/miya, in every language. Old number-based links still work and lead to the new address.
  • The account pages and individual esports match pages are kept out of search results.
  • Esports: the league cards no longer act as one big button; only "View league" opens the league page.

Fixed:

  • Wallpapers: cards no longer show a stray empty hero chip, and a hero who appears twice on one wallpaper is listed once.
  • Opening a hero that does not exist now shows the not-found page instead of an error.
v0.2.0

Esports, wallpapers and a fresh look

Pro league esports and the official wallpaper gallery arrive, along with a new logo, a new footer, and a choice of data source.

New:

  • Esports: schedules, standings and match stats for the Indonesian and Philippine pro leagues, including every player's build and, for the Philippines, the order items were bought.
  • Playoff simulator: pick results for the matches still to play and watch the table and each team's playoff chance update.
  • League calculator: enter your own teams and results to rank any round-robin league.
  • Wallpapers: browse the official hero wallpapers for desktop or phone, and find them on each hero's page.
  • Home page: find a hero by typing its name, see what is new on the site, and check the current Indonesia and Philippines standings.
  • Data source: choose between arena.fastapicloud.dev and arena.rone.dev from the footer. Your choice is remembered.
  • Follow the patch notes by RSS.
  • This patch notes page, so you can see what changes on the site.

Improved:

  • A fresh look: warm ink and paper tones with a single gold accent, a new typeface for headings, and flatter cards.
  • New logo and favicon.
  • Navigation reorganised: Wallpapers joins the top bar, and Tools moved to a redesigned footer with links to everything on the site.
  • Pages retry automatically when the data service has a hiccup or is busy, and the home page keeps working even if one section cannot load.

Changed:

  • Data now loads from arena.fastapicloud.dev by default. Switching source signs you out, because a login belongs to one source.

Fixed:

  • Tab bars no longer show a scroll bar when nothing needs scrolling.
  • Dark team logos are now visible on the dark theme.
v0.1.2

Privacy notice and housekeeping

New:

  • A privacy notice explaining what is stored in your browser and what reaches the API.

Improved:

  • Images load straight from the game's servers, so they no longer break when image processing limits are reached.

Changed:

  • The community polls feature was removed.

Fixed:

  • Lists that load more as you scroll no longer show out-of-date results when you change a filter quickly.
v0.1.1

Improved:

  • Data now comes from the Rone Arena API.

Changed:

  • MLBB Academy is now Arena Academy, with a new home at arena-academy.rone.dev.
