This update is all about customization and tailoring things to your own preferences!

Custom Colors

While you could previously set your 4-color palette in options, you can now very easily switch your hero's color in the lobby by pressing down to cycle through all the colors.

Powerup Toggles

In Match Setup, you can now edit the list of powerups that can drop during the match. Standard tournament play should have all of them enabled, but for your own matches feel free to change it up!

Better GIFs

GIFs got a major overhaul for this patch. Aside from fixing some export issues for high-refresh rate monitors and high framerate PCs, they now export way faster for everyone. And the best part - there's a fancy custom end card showing your Steam name, the date of the GIF, and the winning hero for that replay. I'd love to see players from all over tweet their GIFs tagged #Invisigun. :)

Hero Balance Updates

As always, there are some hero tweaks as the result of the past few months of play, tournament analysis, and feedback from the community. Here are the most significant:

PROTEUS: Reducing the drone's pulse count to 2 made Proteus less viable and not able to capitalize in too many situations. Reverting it back to 3 puts him back in the competitive lineup.

CRONUS: He was just on the verge of having a difficult time controlling area, so a very slight increase in bomb drop speed (10 units/s to 12 units/s) was needed.

CARMEN: She was simply able to fortify too easily, and upkeep of her fort was too easy compared to the work needed by foes to chip away at it. For this reason, her simultaneous blocks has been reduced from 3 to 2, spam detection window increased very slightly (0.5s to 0.75s), and bumps to remove reflection reduced (5 to 3).

PHOEBE: A simple change, but Phoebe can't teleport again instantly after teleporting. This shouldn't affect her gameplan too much, but prevents an abusive edge case situation.

RONIN: He had very little risk to spam slashes while baiting and collecting shots in open lanes. For this reason, his spam count was reduced from 3 to 2 before he has a cooldown.
