Vainglory update 2.12 with 5v5 Early Access mode officially on shelves (Part 2)

Update 2.12 will introduce a brand new skin crafting system in Vainglory, one of the most requested features after just 5V5. This new system will be simpler, easier to use, and focus players on finding a single compelling collectible: the costume “blueprint”.

How the new Skin System works
In the new system, players can focus on finding blueprints (one per skin). Once the blueprint is found, all it takes is a Crystal to complete crafting the skin. Crystals will be the same for all skins, so you can easily split them as you please. And instead of going through a collection of outfits, looking at piles of “79/8” cards, and doing a billion math in your head, you now know exactly where you are at all times.
​

​

​

If you find a skin design that you already have, it will automatically be converted into more Crystals that you can use to craft any skin. If you find a skin design you don’t really like, you can always destroy it to get Crystals and use for another skin.
​

​

SUPPLY UPGRADE​

Need 4 (out of 5) agree to surrender
Voting to surrender can begin at the 12th minute of the match
The whole team has a cooldown before requesting to surrender (2 minutes)
The re-electing period will begin as soon as the voting results are available.
Surrender vote will hold for 30 seconds until automatic failure
