UI

We added a new esports hub. This hub includes upcoming Official and Community tournaments and also Power Rankings! Check it out in the esports tile to see what's there! We also have added a visual indicator in the replay preview showing what place each player in that match got.

• Official tournament information and links to their registration and streams

• Community tournament information and links to their registration and streams

• Power Rankings of the top placing tournament players.

• The replay preview screen will now show what place each player got if the replay contains a complete game.

Maps

• Adjusted the camera bounds and kill lines of Small Thundergard Stadium so that the distance from the main platform to the left and right kill lines is now about halfway between what it is for Shipwreck Falls and Small Brawlhaven. The bottom bounds of the camera and the bottom kill line have also been brought closer in.

Balance Changes

This week’s round of balance updates contain a focus on improving counterplay options for several over-performing powers, and shifting reward into attacks that serve more specific uses. These counterplay options stem from slightly less coverage on key attacks, opening more paths for users to engage, or in opening interaction windows to allow more appropriately timed counterattacks.
