More experiments are going on as per usual. Also as many of you already noticed, we have rolledback the 4 vs 4 player limit in Touchdown in between patches, it is 5 vs 5 again. We have also replaced the player smoother with a better one, which in return improved the hitbox rollbacks for hit registering but it is minimal. The change on smoother and hitbox rollbacks were taken back on server side an hour later due to issues they created. Their time still served good for data gathering though, thanks for the reports!

Gameplay

• Fixed walljump launching you up due to “landing” just as it starts
• Crowd control immunity is implemented into recovery dodges
• Recovery dodge no longer has a minimum time check to execute it from a crowd control
• Recovery dodge now refunds you 75% of the health you lost on the hit instance you recovered from
• Crouch and emotes now lets you get out of the animation with just movement in panic, without forcing you to jump out
• Crouching now starts to heal you after 0.3s with a curve that gets faster as you wait. Max heal amount is 50 but it will reduce your maximum health by the same amount it healed you
• Jump attacks now does one last hit once they touch the ground, allowing us to reduce the mid air downward hitboxes we needed to hit ground from air
