On some PCs, AMD graphics in particular, a game could stay empty or be saved as a green video that would not play. Invade now moves to another encoder within seconds when one stops or writes no picture, and never plays a damaged video.
On Windows, the sound could fall behind the picture, more and more over a game. Clips cut from a 0.3.7 recording not saved yet come out in sync too.
The sun at the top of the window turns Invade light: a soft grey window with white panels. The moon brings the dark theme back, and Invade keeps your choice.
Search your games and clips, filter them by result, mode, date or champion, sort them and star the ones you keep. File games in folders and subfolders by dragging them, double-click a game to rename it, and select several to move or delete them at once. A delete, move or rename can be undone with Ctrl Z. The player goes on to the next clip, opens the full game at the clip's moment and copies the video so you can paste it anywhere. Auto-record shows next to the title, with its settings one click away. Nothing moves on your disk.
In champ select, both teams face each other lane by lane around the clock, with each lane's win rate between the two players. The picks into your opponent sit below and your build beside them, Import runes on top, and the draft estimate shows what it is made of when you hover it. In game, each pair of laners faces off with the gold between them, then what you buy next, your pace and the gold lead. The last draft stays until the game loads, and the board stays once the game ends.
Runes & build, Draft odds and Counters now sit beside the League client's window instead of at the edges of a large screen, in one calmer look. Runes & build says in one line what is not in the client yet. Overlays you had moved in champ select start from their new place.
Games no longer stay "Recording" forever: what Invade writes stays readable, and the game is saved even when the encoder never finishes the file.
A few minutes into a game, Windows could send the clicks on an overlay's title to the game instead, so the overlay could be neither moved nor folded with its minus.
Grabbing an overlay's title could turn the whole screen white until you pressed Alt+Tab.
Each player's rank, recent form and record on their champion, right on their card of League's loading screen, for as long as it lasts.
On Windows the Augments panel opens when the three cards are on screen, lists the most picked augments of the offered rarity, and closes with them.
Hold Tab in any mode with a scoreboard, the Practice Tool too: each team's gold above the board with the lead between them, then each lane on its row, on Invade's own panels whatever the Background setting.
On a champion's My builds tab, start from Invade's build, swap the items, give it any name (a new one is named after its first two core items) and keep as many as you like per role, each on one row of the table with its whole route. Champ select and the in-game Build path follow the one you choose, and a short invade.lol link shares it, with the build shown on the page and in the Discord preview, or imports a friend's.
Always, only while Tab is held, or only while a key or combination you pick is held in game. No key is set for you. Overlays → an overlay → When it shows.
When a skill point is waiting, one arrow points down at the ability your build levels next, right on League's own ability bar, at any resolution and HUD size. It goes away once the point is spent. A suggestion: level what you like.
The tier list, champion pages and Matchups can switch to last patch's data (26.19) from the patch label. A champion's build on 26.19 is the one most played on that patch. Champ select, ARAM and My builds stay on the current patch.
The Build path overlay (was Next item) starts with your starting items, then shows the next item with its components: what you own, what your gold buys now, then the rest, and the route to your sixth item. Components and boots come in the order players really buy them in ranked.
The next dragon shows its element once the Rift has changed (the plain dragon head before), Void Grubs, Herald and Baron wait in grey until they matter, and the soul race shows the dragons each team took.
Click Settings in the sidebar and its categories open under it: General, Recording, Video and audio, In game, invade.lol and Data. The search bar finds any setting.
The overlay gets ready while you queue instead of the moment champ select opens, your runes and spells go into League before Invade looks up the other players, and those lookups go a few at a time so League stays smooth.
Invade now asks League for a full page instead of a two-game preview that the client could keep serving from its cache. Previously archived games stay available when League returns a shorter list.
Holding Tab can hide them as before, keep them on screen, or show them only while you hold it. Overlays → All overlays.
Smite counts as jungle when the game gives no role, and a role swap brings the right page. If your champion is almost never played in that role, Invade shows no build rather than another role's.
Invade looked for the game window under the wrong name, so the overlay stayed hidden behind the game; it now sits on top and you can move its panels.
While you play, friends see your champion, rank and score on a card drawn by invade.lol, with a line that follows the game: a gank, a multikill, a stolen Baron, your CS. A button opens the game live on invade.lol, and the result stays up for three minutes after the game. Settings → Discord turns it off, or hides the live button.
When you can choose an augment (at the start, while dead, just after you respawn), a small panel lists the augments players pick most on your champion, by rarity, in your language.
It counts what your items really cost, so finishing an item no longer makes a lane look behind and starting items never show as a lead. Each figure stays on its player however often you open the scoreboard. Gold per minute and the Live tab's team gold count the same way.
Invade now saves your overlay choices, panel positions and the tray's Show / hide the moment you change them, so a shutdown, a crash or an update can no longer turn every overlay back on.
When Invade puts your rune page in the client, the build's two summoner spells go in too. Flash stays on your key (D or F), junglers keep Smite, and a spell you change yourself is left alone for the rest of the champ select. Settings → Champ select turns it off.
A small window tells you what changed the first time you open Invade after an update, and the (i) at the top right keeps every version.
As soon as the client names the ten players, Invade reads each one's rank and champion mastery, then their recent games, and sends them to invade.lol as it reads them, during the game, so every profile you meet is complete there. The game you just played still goes first, the moment it ends. Settings → invade.lol says what is sent.
0.3.0 took every player the client lists without a name for a hidden one; only a player the game itself hides stays anonymous now.
~ instead of your home folder.
Each game is now measured against the Emerald pace of your role (CS, gold, kill participation, vision, KDA) as well as against your lobby, so your average reflects your level instead of sitting near 50. An average Emerald game is about 41, 80 is roughly one game in 25, 90 a few in a thousand, and 100 takes a game of the year. Scores below 80 spread wider, so a good game and a rough one no longer look alike. The app and invade.lol give the same score for the same game.
Rank, a larger performance column (score, CS, KP, vision, KDA, gold per minute), match history with scores, clips, favorites and champions.
