Image by VideoGamer.Human Torch is the most affected hero with this update as two of his abilities have received adjustments which will reduce the characters effectiveness in the heat of battle. First up is the Flaming Meteor dive where the character dives towards the ground, dealing damage to enemies and detonating any Flame Fields hit.Earlier, he used to trap enemies with the dive inside the walls of Flame Fields each time, however, the current adjustment fixes it, meaning his enemies wont be trapped anymore. Second adjustment has been made to his Pyro Prison ability which will now disappear once hes defeated in a match. This now fixes the issue where his flame fields were still visible even after his elimination, which constantly dealt damage to enemies.The PunisherThe Punishers ultimate ability has received a fix where he kept firing missiles from his barrage during a network lag or slower ping. This exploit was used by a bunch of players in quick play and competitive lobbies to win matches. Unfortunately, they wont be able to use it anymore.Jeff The Land SharkJeffs team-up ability with Luna Snow has received a fix where earlier his Frozen Spitballs used to deal extra damage to enemies and had a higher range of effect.
