Fixes
All Platforms
- Quick Match and Arcade games near completion will no longer add Substitute players.
- Fixed abnormal hero data display on other players’ Career – Statistics page.
- Fixed certain battle Stat Highlights not being settable in the Career system.
- We’ve removed the Squad text chat channel when solo queueing.
Maps and Modes
- Reduced Angela’s excessively oversized head in Giant-Size Brain Blast.
Heroes
- Loki’s Mischievous Metamorphosis: Fixed a bug where, if Loki used his Ultimate Ability to transform into a costumed Adam Warlock and was KO’d and revived via Regenerative Cocoon, he’d come back wearing Adam’s default costume. No more wardrobe malfunctions in the Multiverse!
- Ultron’s Palm Pilot Precision: Tweaked the starting points for Ultron’s Encephalo-Ray and Nano-Ray attacks so they now fire perfectly from his palm. Less off-align blasts, more robotic perfection!
- Luna Snow’s Dance Upgrade: Polished the animation for Luna Snow’s Ultimate Ability. Her moves are now smooth enough to impress even Star-Lord at a Guardians dance-off. Luna’s Cool Summer Costume will be fixed next patch to nail the perfect dance dancing on the center of her Jellyfish.
Console
- Fixed rare performance drops and screen tearing on PS5.
