UI
  • Fixed a bug where the friendslist showed incorrect status for players in the pre-game lobby
  • Fixed a bug where the dropdown menu of an offline friend in the friendslist would sometimes show invalid entries
  • Shortened the "Grand Champion" Pre-Season title, as it was too long to see the entirety
  • Changed the Leaderboard to show 8 entries instead of 9 so that chat is easier to read when unfocused
  • Reduced the time it takes to fetch user profiles
  • Fixed visual representation errors for teams in the profile
  • Added new artwork into the loading screen rotation: Ulric, Rook, Thorn, Pestilus, Jumong, and Blossom
  • Leaderboards should now correctly default to the closest region to the player

Sound
  • Music for the final round now starts when players spawn into the Arena
  • Intro music added to tutorials for battles
  • Sounds for Jamila's counter improved (more prominent)

CamCrew
  • An update to Battlerite CamCrew has been rolled out, read up on it (and watch the video) here[docs.battlerite.com].
