There are some BIG changes to how throwing works.

  1. Pivoting is now automatic and forehand/backhand release side is determined by the Disc Edge. There was a big need to improve the speed of play, specifically the time it takes to throw. The simplified input should make things easier for new players as well.

  2. Bumper buttons (and Q/E) now cycle target selection. Becoming a Bot now requires a long press of either button. This makes automatic throwing much more viable - and paves the way for it's replacement with a more controllable 'assisted' throwing system in the future.

  3. Keyboard/Mouse controls have been brought up to speed, as well as given some hot keys for Disc Edges to help utilize the speed of the new system. A controller is still highly recommended, but accessibility is a core value and KBM felt a bit neglected.

Aside from that there was a good chunk of code refactor/clean-up and some underlying changes to network flows that go along with this update. Everyone's controls will reset to the new defaults with this patch. If things don't seem to be working, try manually restoring the defaults on the Keybind screen.

As always, thanks for playing and any feedback is greatly appreciated!
