Ring of Titans: Patch v0.2.1 Introduces Anthriel and Adjustments to the Rating System

Ring of Titans Steam

Ring of Titans is a game solely focused on PvP. While it is still in Early Access, the developers are introducing tons of new content regularly. That said, Patch v0.2.1 was released a couple of days ago that introduced the new healing-focused Titan, Anthriel. A new winter-themed arena map has also been added to the rotation.

Patch v0.2.1 for Ring of Titans included some notable adjustments to the matchmaking rating (MMR) as well. Now, you should no longer lose a lot of points when facing a higher-ranked team. Furthermore, when queuing as a party, the MMR of the highest-rated member will be used for calculation. Another significant change is that you can now invite new members to your party even though they’re not part of your Steam friends’ list. All you have to do is find them in the game’s lobby, right-click on them, and send them an invite.

For general changes, the timer for diminishing returns has been increased to 18 seconds. The HP of all Titans has also been reduced by roughly 5% across the board.
