General Updates
Improved how overlapping interactable objects work. Actions should now be performed more consistently.
Example: A dart from Cypher’s Spycam should no longer prevent you from attaching to a rope if you’re directly looking at it.
Agent Updates
Improvements made to abilities that spread along the ground (e.g., Brimstone’s Incendiary, Viper’s Snakebite). These abilities should now spread more consistently and only apply damage in locations consistent with the visuals.
Additional icons can now be pinged and seen on maps used for ability targeting.
Affected Abilities: Brimstone’s Sky Smoke, Orbital Strike, Clove’s Ruse, Omen’s From The Shadows.
Sage’s Barrier Orb’s placement preview now shows up on the minimap.
