Event Interface Improvements
Players can now access the Rivals Assemble event directly from Times Square, removing the need for additional menus. A new Quick Copy Friend UID shortcut in the friends list simplifies team coordination and sharing of rewards.
Hero Correction Summary
| Hero | Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| General Heroes | Some projectiles aimed from certain portal angles failed to register damage. | Attack calculations near portals were corrected to ensure accurate hit recognition. |
| Doctor Strange | The Shield of the Seraphim occasionally deployed in the wrong direction. | Shield alignment logic was reworked so it now consistently faces the intended target area. |
| Adam Warlock | Respawning near Rocket Raccoon’s B.R.B. could trigger an unintended replay loop when the beacon was destroyed. | Spawn routines were adjusted to prevent duplicate death sequences. |
| Angela | Assassin’s Charge could leave her motionless during unstable network moments. | Movement syncing improved to maintain fluid travel even under latency conditions. |
These targeted revisions streamline cooperative play and ensure hero abilities respond predictably across different gameplay environments.
