New Balancing Updates
Over the past few years, Origins has developed a wide variety of archetypes. Thanks to Rune upgrades, there are also opportunities for many teams to thrive in the meta.
We’ve shipped a few updates to keep the meta balanced during S13. For example, we’ve made balance adjustments to reduce the overwhelming impact of Incisor. Additionally, we've enhanced Tri Spikes to give Spike teams a better opportunity to thrive in the evolving meta.

A Note on SLP Farming Bans
After the end of S12, we identified accounts that were farming SLP rewards using bots. To tackle this, we have implemented measures that would automatically put an indefinite ban on accounts that take part in such activities going forward.
Final Thoughts
Thirteen seasons. Origins launched over 3 years ago, and the arena continues to draw Lunacians into battle every day. Make the most of this preseason and prepare yourself for the regular season where fresh rewards will be up for grabs. Let’s keep pushing!
