Fixes and Optimization
Heroes
Black Cat
Fixed an issue where using the Tablet of Destinies ability in spawn did not accumulate Fortune properly. The Queen of Thieves can now experience luck anywhere!
[Passive]Fortune: fixed stack accumulation when using Tablet of Destinies in spawn
General Fix
Resolved an issue where heroes in a slow-fall state could get stuck in a landing animation after being hit by a knockback ability. You will no longer be permanently stuck in a crouching pose!
- Superhero Landing: fixed an issue with getting stuck in the animation when hit by knockback abilities
Maps
Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface
Fixed a rare bug where Black Cat could get stuck after using the Ring of Zona portal. The symbiotes will no longer cling to our feline hero!
Blood Hunt
Blade
Fixed an issue where the firing sound effects of the Silver Soulbreaker build for the Exorcism Round (RMB) ability would abnormally trigger multiple times in certain combat situations. Blade loves loud sounds when fighting vampires, but we have turned down the volume to save your eardrums.
[RMB]Exorcism Round: fixed multiple sound effects during combat
Rally Point Mode
- Rally Point Rescue: fixed a matchmaking error where an ally leaving during the hero selection phase could prevent Rally Point from gathering all remaining players. Rapid deployment now works flawlessly!
