Fixes
All Platforms
Squashed a Discord doppelganger issue where, for players who connected Discord, sending a friend request would have duplicate requests appear.
Corrected a bug where certain display ratios made it impossible to set costume Exclusive SFX.
Corrected some confusion in Custom Game - Tournament Room spectator mode, where team colors were displayed incorrectly when checking them by pressing ESC.
Defeated some Hydra-level persistence where canceling password input when entering a locked custom game to spectate would trigger an endless pop-up loop.
Ended the gloom of not being able to send Emojis during the preparation phase of Doom Matches.
Maps and Modes
Patched up a batch of pesky map bugs that could trap, squish, or send heroes tumbling into weird places.
Heroes
Frosty Magic & Strange Gains: There was a bug where Emma Frost's Telepathic Pulse and Doctor Strange's attacks against Blade during Bloodline Awakening were giving them some extra bite, abnormally boosting Emma's Energy and Doctor Strange's Dark Magic. Everything is now under control; no more sucking bonus power from The Daywalker.
The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and with season 4 on the horizon, we have plenty more surprises and updates in store. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
