Note: Earlier this week a bug occurred which caused many Heroes to receive the ‘Gladiator’ title. This was to let all of you know how much we believe in you. Incidentally, all Arena titles will reset with the release of the pre-season, and Heroes will then have to earn their Gladiator titles if they would like the Ascension Team to continue believing in them.
