TLDR; Pick’ Ems for Champs, penalties for stream sniping and instalock tools, and future changes to the Agent Gear system so make sure to grind it out and get all the items now!
Sound Sprays Based on your feedback, we've adjusted the sound attenuation for all sound sprays so you'll only be able to hear the sounds if you're nearby to ensure teams can communicate effectively. This will be a standard for all future audio sprays.
Fixed an issue where Agent Ultimate voiceover could continue playing from an enemy's perspective after the Agent casting the Ultimate was killed.

TLDR; Goodbye Breeze and hello Abyss ! There’s a new map rotation in our Competitive and Deathmatch queues, and we fixed some issues with Agent bugs and transforming melees like Kuronami 2.0 and Nocturnum.
