Maps and Modes

[p][/p][p]1. Fixed various terrain bugs that could trap heroes, cause clipping, or send you to strange places no hero should go.[/p][p] [/p]

Heroes

[p][/p][p]1. Blade's Daywalker Double-Take: We've sharpened his technique as sometimes, quickly unleashing his Ultimate Ability after performing Daywalker Dash could cause the follow-up animation to overlap with the ultimate. Now Blade's combos slice through the night, no more cinematic mix-ups!  [/p][p]2. Blade's Stunned by the Sun: Using Daywalker Dash and Bloodline Awakening simultaneously and being stunned at the dash's instant could cause Blade to bug out. Talk about a bad day for a daywalker! He's now back to his unstoppable best, no more daylight drama.  [/p][p]3. Blade's Dash of Discipline: The cleaving strike follow-up to Daywalker Dash didn't correctly display the Slow effect on enemies. Now you'll see his enemies feel the chill after every slash!  [/p][p]4. Hulk's Gamma Portal Glitch: Transforming from Bruce Banner into Hero Hulk while going through a portal could warp his look more than a run-in with the Leader. Hulk's textures now stay Hulked out!  [/p][p]5. Groot's Blossoming Beautification: Groot's Wild Wall wasn't syncing up with some of his costume. Now, every bloom is Groot-approved, no matter the style![/p][p]6. Star-Lord's Space Out: Placing a Network Leapspider teleport in certain tricky spots could send Star-Lord on an unintended trip outside the map! Peter Quill's boots are back on solid ground, no more accidental galactic detours![/p][p] [/p]
