Happy Murderversary everyone!
This update was focused on bug fixes, optimizations and quality of life adjustments.
New Halloween Map Varient
Spookyfall
- All words are Halloween themed.
- The map has custom Spirit interactions and increased Spirit gain rate.
- Flickering lights and a deadly fall await you (we mean this literally).
We didn't want to just bring fixes and thought that a variant of the most popular map would be a great addition. We will only have it available for the Halloween event.
The goods
- Snickle Snackle no longer flickers visibility and instead is only visible if they're in your peripheral and if they're not crouched.
- Snickle Snackle no longer propagates with their E, but do gain max health until death if they kill with it.
- Stack gain for them is 4x as fast. ( I may drop their E ability and just make snickle do heavy back stab damage.)
- AGMs now start to take ambient damage once they've initially been triggered, this damage will drop them within 1-6 life but wont fully kill them.
- President no longer has stamina drain on his primary attack
- Fixed some UV issues in Skyfall
