General Updates in patch 9.03

  • Made improvements to how overlapping interactable objects work. You should now perform the desired action more consistently.
    • For Example: A dart from Cypher’s Spycam should no longer prevent you from attaching to a rope if you’re directly looking at it.

Which agents changed in patch 9.03?

  • Ground Spreading Abilities
    • We're making improvements to abilities that spread along the ground like Brimstone’s Incendiary and Viper's Snake Bite. Previously, these abilities had inconsistent effects depending on the exact location they landed, ranging from extremely different sizes or damaging through walls and in areas the ability wasn’t visually present. With this update, these abilities should spread more consistently and only apply damage in places that are consistent with the visuals.
  • Map Targeted Abilities Improvements
  • Sage’s Barrier Orb
    • Barrier Orb’s placement preview now also shows up on the minimap
