For brellas we’ve got made modifications to alleviate a phenomenon the place, regardless of sufficient time passing since opening the cover on the participant’s display screen, they’d typically nonetheless be hit by their opponents’ photographs and be defeated.
For many main-weapon assaults, together with these made with brellas, whether or not injury is definitely dealt is set primarily based on whether or not the assault hits on the display screen of the participant who made the assault. For that purpose, whether or not or not the cover is open on the opposite participant’s display screen is essential when blocking opponents’ assaults with a cover.
Because of the time it takes for communication through the web, it takes longer for a brella’s cover to really open on an opponent’s display screen than it does on the participant’s personal display screen. Moreover, because of the repair in model 2.1.0 for a problem the place the animation of opening a brella’s cover to guard from assaults occurred slower than the precise defensive impact started, the timing for opening the cover appeared faster on the participant’s personal display screen. Because of this, this made a phenomenon happen extra often the place, regardless of sufficient time showing to have handed since opening the cover on the participant’s personal display screen, they’d typically nonetheless be hit by their opponents’ photographs and be defeated.

After thorough consideration, we determined to repair this by decreasing the distinction in timing for when the participant opens their cover by dashing up the time it takes for the cover to look open on the opponent’s display screen.

For the Ink Vac, we’ve got made it simpler to make use of by assuaging a phenomenon the place the bottom or partitions weren’t inked relying on the affect place for the ink shot.
For Tremendous Chump, we’ve got made it simpler to mix with follow-up assaults utilizing primary weapons by shortening the time for opponents to cope with the decoys.
For Kraken Royale, by barely extending the time required to cost, we’ve got created differentiation between the usage of cost assaults and soar assaults.
For the Trizooka and Inkjet, we made modifications to get the injury effectivity towards the Large Bubbler nearer to that of different particular weapons.
Past that, we’ve got made different modifications to enhance gameplay consolation, together with modifications to stop unintended indicators from being despatched in sure conditions, modifications to alleviate the difficulty of scattered weapons and kit blocking sight, and modifications to stabilize the show when an opponent is on the fringe of a top distinction.
