Based on your feedback from various sources Uber has optimized their game to make more streamlined to your needs.

MNC- Fixing you Up

• Reduced the amount of increased damage the Moneyball takes in Overtime, thus reducing the effectiveness of “Juice rushing”.
• Fixed turret collision not going away after being destroyed.
• Normalized time between a grapple miss and the ability to grapple again for all grapples. The biggest change is the Assassin not having as big of a penalty for a missed grapple.
• Fixed the "Team Leader" and "Team Player" highlights from being reversed.
• Optimized main menu ticker for players with large friends lists.
• Reduced announcer talking for kill streaks to help reduce the repetition of announcements.
• Various performance optimizations.
• Reworked Support’s bot aura so that it doesn't make the Jackbot appear overhealed.
• Fixed Support’s Firebase skill from recharging while the Support is dead but the Firebase skill exists.
• Fixed Assassins from being able to use her smoke bomb during a lunge.
• Tank’s Jet Gun alternate fire damage is now reduced depending on the percentage of ammo left in the clip. Increased the full clip damage to compensate.
