Fixes
All Platforms
- Fixed an issue where Hulk’s proficiency interface displayed incorrect keybindings.
Heroes
- Hulk’s Radioactive Lockdown Control: Fixed a glitch where terrain KOs from Radioactive Lockdown were failing to register. Now, when he smashes, every victory counts. Hulk Smash those stats into shape!
- Captain America’s Connection Conundrum: Resolved an issue where Cap’s Fearless Leap could get funky in low-network situations. Now, no matter the lag, he’ll always leap into action like a true Avenger!
- Blade’s Bloodline Boost: Fixed a bug where Blade’s attack speed bonus stacks from his Bloodline Awakening were sticking around longer than expected after the state ended. Now he’ll slice and dice, but only when he means to, no extended party invites!
- Scarlet Witch’s Stuck Spell: Addressed a problem where Scarlet Witch occasionally couldn’t move after unleashing her Ultimate Ability in Free Fight mode. Now, she can unleash her hexes and keep the chaos flowing. No more standing still when it’s time to thrill!
- Adam Warlock’s Cosmic Conundrum: Fixed an issue where using Adam Warlock’s Ultimate Ability in confined spaces could accidentally teleport revived teammates back to the spawn room. Now, they’ll always return to the fight right on cue. No more unexpected detours to the Quantum Realm!
- Daredevil’s Dual Dilemma: Resolved a bug where using both “Devil’s Latch” and “Objection!” in quick succession could lead to unexpected performance issues. Now, he’ll keep his moves sharp and his senses keen. No more double trouble for the Man Without Fear!
Console
- Fixed a bug that caused players to exit matches when checking Career from the “Avoid as Teammate” list during gameplay.
