Rat King is available to play
What changed: The announcement confirms Rat King's availability. Scrap Grenade and Swarm of Rats feature in his attack description, Royal Pestments lets him shake off incoming damage, and Banner of Ratannia is presented as a way to inspire his subjects. It does not provide numerical damage, cooldown or resistance values.
How to adapt: If you want to play Rat King, check availability in your client; use this announcement for his availability and ability names, not build or matchup guidance.
