Heroes of Gota — Update 2.6.3

✨ Features

🛠️ Fixes

• ⚔️ Clearer combat: Enemy tower outlines are orange when you enter range and red when you are targeted. Sniper and Scout gain ultimate target markers and turn toward their target before the cast animation.
• ✨ Reliable ability effects: Launched projectiles and persistent effects can finish after their caster dies.
• 🌐 Multiplayer improvements: Improved queue compatibility, team assignments, reconnect handling, and party emotes while searching. Custom rooms remain available for another match.
• 🎭 Emote previews: Fixed missing shop offers and previews showing another emote's animation. New emotes play for their full clip duration.
• 🛒 Shop and menu polish: Cosmetic purchases keep you in the shop. Emote details no longer imply a hero restriction, lobby buttons stay steady, and league backgrounds update before loading closes.
• 🚀 Performance: Reduced repeated targeting and UI work, improved effect cleanup, and reduced graphics work in Low Graphics mode.

⚖️ Balance Updates

• ⚓ Captain: Hook cooldown increased from 5 to 7 seconds.
• 🐾 Beast: "Attack!" slow increased from 20% to 35%.
• 🥷 Scout: Casting your ultimate "Marked!" preserves invisibility.
• ⏱️ Respawns: The fourth and fifth death now also increase the respawn time.
