When I was new to the game, I always wondered if there is any place where I could watch all the upgrades without entering the match. I've seen other players asking for this.
So, here it is.
I hope this list will help new players to learn the game faster and better.

Hint: you can read name of the skill/upgrade by moving mouse cursor over the picture
 

This list was checked on game version: beta.0.0.0.447
You can see the version at the bottom left of the main menu.

If you notice any mistakes, contact me and we will fix it! :)
