In addition to making skins more desirable, we also wanted to increase the value of Skin Trial Cards. No matter if the skin is permanently owned or unlocked temporarily with a Trial Card, you will earn the same Gold bonus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will higher rarity skins earn a larger Gold bonus?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>No, all skins &#8211; regardless of their rarity &#8211; will provide the same Gold bonus. This was important to ensure the same bonus is available to everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What game modes will earn the Gold bonus on Skins?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All match types except 1v1 against AI will provide the Gold bonus on Skins.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"daily-to-weekly-gold-cap-change\"><\/span>DAILY TO WEEKLY GOLD CAP CHANGE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>When does the new weekly Gold cap reset?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Gold cap now resets every Monday morning at 5am PST for the USA\/Canada and Latin America servers, and at 5am GMT for the Europe server.<\/p>\n<p>If a match begins before 5am on Monday and ends after the reset, Gold gained from that match will be counted towards the next weekly cap. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iphone-x-optimization\"><\/span>IPHONE X OPTIMIZATION<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Why does the iPhone X update include a new player avatar interface on each side, rather than scaling to full-screen?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we scaled the view on iPhone X to make use of the full screen real estate, it would provide 22% additional map view, giving iPhone X users an unfair advantage against other players.<\/p>\n<p>The new avatar bars are uniquely useful. Tap on teammates on the left side of the screen to see their player perspective for additional map awareness. Tap your enemy&#8217;s avatar on the right side to set a target lock on their hero, helping with precision during teamfights.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"player-avatar-frames\"><\/span>PLAYER AVATAR FRAMES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>How can avatar frames be unlocked?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are three ways to earn avatar frames:<\/p>\n<p>1. Participate in limited-time events and collect enough quest items to exchange for the frame.<\/p>\n<p>2. Purchasing certain Skins will also provide accompanying avatar frames. This will be indicated in the Shop.<\/p>\n<p>3.
