A slightly late hotfix and balance patch but hopefully improvements will make up for it!
Gameplay
- Adjusted melee rollback calculations, leading up to less misses and reduced erroneous hitstops
- Fixed next dodge after an uninterrupted throw effect always being a recovery dodge
- Fixed push crowd control effects overwriting stagger/knockback, which caused infintely locking up at stagger animation
Note: The fix here was to not apply push while someone is within stagger animation, but in the future we want to have it as yet another additive force instead. So once that change happens, you will still get pushed back by revolver shots while in stagger or knockback. This separation will be very important for the upcoming HMG.
