@Aeternus_EAAwesome, thanks man. Btw, does the ai backfill in multiplayer games include battle arena?

This is a lot to take in and I'm pleasantly surprised that the new map is in this patch! I'll have to see how it looks and plays after work!
Most of this looks good, but some I'm not sure of, at least not yet. I'm presuming that blast radius is the core area of effect of an attack and the shockwave radius is the outer area of effect of an attack? I'm very glad to see the Steam Blaster glitch getting fixed, that's for sure!
Edit: I'm really happy to see the AI backfill! It will be nice at off times especially to keep the matches from being boring and one-sided. The AI isn't as good as most players but will at least be playing the objectives and can be more challenging than you might expect, if predictable.
The sprint changes are a bit confusing but apparently you won't need to jump constantly for max speed anymore? I would have reduced the base speed a little bit instead of increasing it and balanced the air and strafe speed accordingly, but we'll see how it works.
I like the change to melee characters getting crits, but I didn't see the hit registration issue addressed that seems worse on Super Brainz and Chomper than anyone else. I hope this is universally better with the patch!

The balancing in this trash, we are back to founders once again.
I've had enough of this, I'll test it when it comes out, but I'm pretty sure what to expect.

Awesome surprise! Hopefully this makes the game better.

"Chomper and Super Brainz melee attacks are now considered critical damage so they can earn critical vanquishes" So...what about Face Bite? The Chomper upgrade that has it so "Chomp can do critical damage"? Am I missing something here, or did this buff just make one upgrade a literal waste of space?

This is a good point. I had forgotten about this one. Is it being addressed at all? Like increased crit chance or damage?
