Batomon Showdown changes
Late game battles are often still finishing so fast that it's hard to understand what happened. In this patch there are across the board nerfs to late game multiplicative scaling so HP bars don't get depleting near instantly. Hopefully the nerfs are light enough players still feel significant power scaling throughout a run which is my vision for the game. The other big part of this patch is performance improvements, which there's not too much to talk about, but I've done some pretty significant rewriting of the codebase. Hopefully there's no lag anymore in late game battles.
QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES
Optimized performance to reduce lag spikes in battles.
If you lock it and there are empty slots, the empty slots will now be refilled the next day.
Matchmaking changed so new players will have slightly more challenging opponents if they are doing well. Also expanded the matchmaking pool for experienced players so they don't keep running into the same opponents.
