For the June patch there are some balance changes as well as improvements for the client rune manager, polish and consistency passes, and a lot of high resolution art updates.

This month we are also beginning to make upgrades to the bot server so that bots in skirmish matches stop doing things like throwing their champions into chasms and deploying Titans champions and Collection of Souls only to have them die. Updates to the bot server will hopefully be coming with every patch now and there are ideas of how to improve them so that they are more challenging, more interesting, and more fun to play against.

Enjoy, and happy poxxing!
