MetaBot Desktop 4.0 Is Here: Pulse, Forge, Player Cards, and WoW Forever

MetaBot Desktop 4.0 is here, and it’s the first release big enough that a new version number felt like the only honest choice. Until now MetaBot has been something you used on your own: open it, check a build, read your post-game, close it. 4.0 changes that. There’s a live community feed called Pulse where your best plays, matches and hot takes can sit next to everyone else’s. There’s Forge, a set of creator tools for making tier lists, quizzes and polls. Player profiles have been rebuilt into proper player cards, every post-game screen got a visual overhaul, and WoW Forever joins the app. Here’s everything that’s new.

Pulse: what’s happening across your games, right now

Pulse is a new live feed inside the app, and it’s the biggest single thing we’ve ever built for MetaBot. Open it and you’ll see what’s going on in the games you play: standout matches from MetaBot players, champions and agents climbing or falling in the meta, patch digests, esports results, new game launches on Steam, free-game drops and community creations, all in one scrolling feed. Pulse covers League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Valorant, Deadlock, Marvel Rivals, Counter-Strike 2, Slay the Spire 2 and AION 2, and you choose which of them show up.

It’s built to be played with, not just read:

• Share your best plays. MetaBot can pick out highlight clips from your matches automatically, game audio included, and you can share a trimmed clip to Pulse in a couple of clicks. You can turn automatic highlights off at any time under Settings → Privacy.
• Share whole matches. A great game can go straight from your post-game screen to Pulse as a match card, with your stats and the badges you earned in it.
• Stat Takes. Got an opinion about the meta? Write a post and attach a real stat to it: a champion’s win rate, a head-to-head between two agents, an item’s pick rate. The numbers are frozen into your post, so later everyone can see how the stat has moved since you called it. Other players vote agree or disagree, and the split stays hidden until they’ve voted.
• React, comment and follow. Upvote, use full-color reactions, and comment on anything. Follow players you like and they get their own Following filter, plus session cards that sum up how their last play session went.
• Call it. Esports results arrive spoiler-free. Pick who you think won, then reveal the result, and MetaBot keeps track of how often you’re right.
• Read without leaving. News posts, Steam pages and guides open in a reader inside the app, so you never get thrown out to a browser mid-scroll.

Notable matches also come with badges, such as a pentakill, an ace or a flawless run, drawn as full-color emblems so you can tell at a glance what made a game special.

Forge: make tier lists, quizzes and polls

Forge is a new section, sitting right under Arcade in the sidebar, with three tools for making things to share:

• Tier List Maker. Drag champions, agents, items, units or heroes into S through E tiers, using official icons from every supported game. You can even mix games on one list. Export it as an image or share it to Pulse with one click.
• Quiz Maker. Build a quiz with five question types: multiple choice, guess-the-icon with reveal effects, true or false, put-in-order, and odd-one-out. Then pick Chill or Blitz mode. Quizzes can be played in the app or on the web, and you see how players did.
• Poll Maker. Ask the community anything, with icons for every option, and run it for a day, three days, a week or indefinitely. People vote right from the Pulse card, and results stay hidden until you’ve cast your vote.

A Community tab shows what everyone else is making, sorted by new, hot or top. My Creations tracks views, plays, votes and remixes on everything you’ve made. Any public creation can be remixed as a starting point for your own. Every Forge tool is free to use.

Player profiles, rebuilt as player cards

Click any player’s name in MetaBot and you now land on a proper player card. You can pick a banner, show off the match badges you’re proudest of, and pin your favorite clips. Your profile also gets a Recent Activity timeline covering the builds you’ve published, the tier lists, quizzes and polls you’ve made, Pulse posts, arcade achievements and more.

Community builds and your profile now have comments, with reporting and moderation built in. If you’d rather keep to yourself, there’s a new private profile setting: only you can see your profile, you won’t show up in follow suggestions, and your session cards stop appearing in other people’s feeds.

Every post-game screen, redesigned

Post-game is the screen you look at most, so every supported game got a visual overhaul: clearer gauges, percentile bars, round-by-round charts, and coaching tips that point at the one or two things that actually decided the match. All of the new post-game visuals are free.

Teamfight Tactics got the most. A rebuilt post-game walks you through your game’s key moments and how your health compared to the lobby, and it comes with a share card: a clean image of your board and placement that you can copy or save in one click. Your post-game badges also show up as emblems across your match history, so your best games stand out at a glance.

WoW Forever joins MetaBot

WoW Forever gets a full section in the app, with character, class, item, world and profession reference, plus planning tools for your leveling. There’s an optional MetaBot addon you can install with one click, so MetaBot can read your character as you play.

Run Reports turn your combat log into a breakdown of each run; free accounts get a summary of their latest run. Pro members get the Leveling Coach, full Run Reports and unlimited saved plans.

Better tools for the games you already play

• Live champ-select preview (League). During champion select, the overlay shows a live meta preview for the pick you’re looking at, before you lock in.
• Deadlock player builds. Create, vote on and fork community builds for every hero. Pin one with Follow in-game and the in-game overlay will point you to your next item as you play.
• Meta Map. Tier lists for League, TFT, Valorant, Deadlock and Marvel Rivals have a new Map view that plots the whole roster by win rate and popularity, so you can see the shape of the meta at once instead of scrolling a list.
• League. Tier list cards show how each champion moved since last patch. The Cheat Sheet now has lane and rank filters. Objective timers and panels use the real in-game objective art.
• TFT. Early and mid-game comp recommendations are far more reliable. They’re built from much larger samples, so you no longer see comps with a perfect win rate from six games. Stats tables now say Top 4 where they mean Top 4.
• Valorant. Rank filters on Stats and the Tier List, an ACS column, and weapon filters by category and cost.
• Arena. Augments from the latest Arena modes now display properly instead of showing up as question marks.
• Session debriefs. In Palworld, Valheim, Enshrouded, Minecraft, Dark and Darker, Permafrost and the rest of our survival and PvE games, MetaBot now gives you a short end-of-session debrief when you stop playing.

A fresh look, and an app that knows when you’re playing

4.0 is the biggest visual refresh MetaBot has had:

• Header and sidebar. The header has been redesigned, and the sidebar now opens a quick menu of each game’s sections when you hover it.
• Numbers and motion. Stats use crisp new numerals that line up properly in tables, and cards smoothly morph into the page they open.
• Loading. Pages show their layout while they load instead of a spinner.
• Live Mode. When you’re in a match, a slim strip appears under the top bar, the game in the sidebar lights up, and your Home screen shows a live match card. You always know MetaBot is tracking.
• Search in your language. Search now understands names in the language you use MetaBot in, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Russian.
• Resizing. Every desktop widget now has a corner grip so you can drag it to the size you want, and the in-game overlay’s resize grip now sits exactly where the panel ends.
• Arcade. The Arcade has a new home screen with real gameplay previews that play as you hover each game, plus a quick how-to-play before you jump in.

New to MetaBot? A better first five minutes

New installs now start with a short, cinematic setup. You pick your language and games, and choose whether you want highlights. You can create an account, and then take a quick tour of the app. If you play as a guest first, nothing is lost when you sign up: matches you played as a guest still earn XP on your new account, and your dashboard layout comes with you.
