Overview
Howdy, y’all. Jo-Ellen here with Patch Notes 8.09.
It’s a short one this week as we prepare for bigger things in the near future.
- We’ve done some small updates to Brimstone’s Sky Smoke (E) to ensure that it fully covers the area indicated by the UI when you are placing it. This should ensure that when the outer edge of the targeting UI covers a choke point that the spawned smoke will fully cover that area as well. This change includes a slight increase to the radius of Brimstone’s smoke that should make it match the smoke size of his peers like Omen.
- UI targeting size updated so that outer edge properly reflects the size of the smoke
- Fixed an issue that resulted in you losing your crosshair profiles.
- If your newly created crosshair profiles still keep disappearing, please let Player Support know.
- Fixed an issue regarding Killed By feed on Combat Reports being incorrect.
- F ixed bullet tracers still being visible after being turned off in Settings if the player fires away from the map.
- Fixed an issue where the client would freeze after a game ends and would require a client restart to continue.
