Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system. When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards. The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.

This is hilarious.

Also Haze ult finally got nerfed.

• Replaced the recent soul duplication hotfix with new behavior. Pre 10 min, lanes now always split orbs when there are more heroes than the assigned participants for that lane (3+ people in a dual lane, 2+ people in a solo). Previously it only split with 3+ people regardless of the lane, which is what allowed soul abuses when dipping into a solo lane.
• Private lobbies can now assign players to duo and solo lanes
• Fixed some recent bugs with Vindicta Flight that could cause some large bursts in a direction
• Fixed being able to shoot while using Ethereal Shift and flying with Vindicta
• Veil Walker: Fire Rate reduced from 30% to 20%

• Fixed players being able to exploit soul sharing across multiple lanes to earn more souls than intended. The way the fix is implemented is that each player can only be considered for an enemy trooper death event 4 times per wave number during the laning phase.
• Fixed troopers sometimes not dying after doing their death flash state
• Fixed Unstoppable state not preventing fire rate reductions
• Fixed Grey Talon's Charge Shot and Vindicta's Assassinate cameras not working properly

• Bebop: Hyper Beam cooldown increased from 117 to 130
• Bebop: Hyper Beam T1 reduced from -38s to -30s
• Bebop: Hyper Beam end radius reduced from 5m to 4m
• Bebop: Hyper Beam slow reduced from 40% to 30%
• Bebop: Hyper Beam DPS reduced from 220 to 205
• Bebop: Hyper Beam DPS spirit scaling reduced from 3 to 2.7
• McGinnis: Medicinal Specter radius spirit power reduced from 0.07 to 0.05
• Ammo Scavenger: Buff duration reduced from 40s to 35s

Valve's hero shooter Deadlock just received a large update, adding constant matchmaking and low priority queues for bad eggs.

Pretty good patch. Sadly no new character but good changes all around. Also the servers are now open 24/7!

You used to be able to hold ALT, and your mouse would unlock and you could mouse over your abilities and read about them. You could also ping the map to communicate with teammates with ALT. You can still hold ALT and press the number keys to upgrade your abilities, but ALT doesn't let you mouse over stuff anymore. You can still unstick the mouse with TAB, but that brings up the whole scoreboard UI. Why did Valve straight up remove a functionality from the game?

is there a site for patch notes?

Just played a match with Bebop and I felt very limited by my powerset. It was great at first, me and my lane buddy were dominating the game. Most pushes, most kills, most souls. But once the game got to the teamfight phase, it all fell apart. The enemies stayed as far from me as they could, and I couldn't get enough burst damage in with my hook before they ran away, and they usually had better move speed than me. It felt like my only good ability at that point was the hyper beam. And sure, I was surprisingly survivable in 1v1s, and the hyper beam could really help a push, but any time the hyper beam was on cooldown I felt like I could do nothing unless I caught an enemy alone.

How do y'all play bebop in the midgame? Are there any upgrades that make up for bebop's weaknesses? I followed the suggested build up until I started getting my ass kicked, then switched to lifesteal. Lady Gheist and Shiv were the biggest pains in my butt.

Doesnt have to be urgent do it at your convenience.

To make it convenient someone can dm me their friend code and ill send a request and a msg to remind them to invite me to beta whenever they get the chance.

I would greatly appreciate it!

The heroes all have what seem to be complete voicelines, the voices of some characters sound very familiar to me.

Are there any you've recognised? Let's see if we can figure out who everyone is voiced by.
