Greetings, Rivals!

Balance at a glance

Hero changes

Fixed

Black Cat

Fixed an issue where using the Tablet of Destinies inside the spawn room wouldn't properly accumulate her Fortune. The world's greatest cat burglar can now gamba wherever she wants. (Because honestly, what's a heist without a little RNG?)

Fixed

Blade

Fixed an issue where the firing sound effects for Blade's Silver Soulbreaker build's Exorcism Round (Right-Click) would abnormally trigger a massive number of times in certain combat situations. Blade loves going loud on vamps, but we've turned the volume down to save your eardrums.

Other fixes

fixedStuck the Superhero LandingAddressed a bug where heroes in a slow-fall state, if struck by a knockdown ability, might fail to properly end their landing animation. We know superhero landings are notoriously tough on the knees, but you won't be permanently stuck crouching anymore!
fixedKlyntar's Clingy CatastropheResolved a rare bug where Black Cat could become stuck after using her Ring of Zona portal on the Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface map. The symbiotes were getting a little too attached; Felicia is now free to prowl!
fixedRally Point RescueFixed a matchmaking glitch where a teammate quitting during the Hero Selection phase could cause the Rally Point to fail to gather all the remaining players. Time waits for no one. Rapid deployment will now flawlessly commence!
