Balance Patch Notes

With the Superstar Cup coming in a few days, this patch's balance changes are intentionally conservative. The goal is to improve variety and balance in both the tournament and on the ladder for all players.

Fixes & Improvements

Fixed a few cosmetic bugs with pinging units
Fixed a bug where a spectator leaving the game would mistakenly trigger autopause
Fixed a rare bug where a guild levelup popup mistakenly showed up in-game
Fixed a rare bug where your rolls didn’t update the UI after rerolling
Fixed a bug where the UI would become partially unresponsive after opening the Codex
Fixed a bug where Nekomata skin occasionally didn’t render properly at max stacks
Reduced some main menu lag when clicking around
