MageQuit

• New stage: The Berg!
  
• New stage: The Pit!
  
• Main menu has a beautiful new font courtesy of babiierika
  
• Added new random stage option "Less Random", this is the new default for Competitive and Mirror Select presets (including ranked), and should be used for IGL matches going forward; with this stage mode:
  
  • Ramps stay up on Tower
    
  • Volcano does not erupt randomly
    
  • Airship propellers will hit to the center of the map
    
  • You will never play the same stage within 9 rounds
    

• Stage tweaks:
  
  • Airship propellers now hit for 30 instead of 20
    
  • Bridges will no longer appear in any 2-player matchups (not just)
    
  
  
• Shark "Jeff" updates:
  
  • Shark was reworked to dive and deal damage on the client of the wizard who is being attacked so it feels more 1-to-1 with a local game; tldr: no more "I WAS ON LAND" or dying far away from the shark when playing online
    
  • Shark collider now disables when the shark dives so you can run or throw spells through dat boi
    
  
  
• Ranked updates:
  
  • Ranked scoring has been updated to be less punishing and allow for faster climbing

  • Increased Mirror Select pick time from 20 to 25 seconds
    
  
  
• Spell rebalancing/bug fixes:
  
  • Leech: hitbox size reduced, now ignores collisions with anything it can't stick to, rather than disappearing
    
  • Capacitor can now stick to any unit (Pet Rock, Leech, Lightning Bug, Puck, Turtle, Spitfire, Frog, Shark), reduce cooldown by 1s
    
  • Capacitor now triggers before Shark attack damage, which will counter Bubble Breaking the shark
    
  • Capacitor now triggers on any client, not just the one who casted it -- aka if 2 wizards capacitor'd each other and walked into each other, both capacitors would go off 100% of the time
    
  • Somer Assault: end of short dash now halves the wizard's knockback velocity
    
  • Spells will no longer disappear when they hit own wizard (with the exception of return spells like boomerang or leech)
    
  • Chameleon now applies a 2-second 40% slow on-hit
    
  • Fissure: no longer randomly tilts wall colliders so that spells won't go through them and wizards won't ramp off them
    
  • Sustain: increased bounce height and decrease knockback to allow movement spells to counter it better -- Hot Swap will now save you on Airship / Coffin
    
  • Hot Swap: wind up time reduced to 0.01s to allow for mid-air swapping on Airship or Coffin
    
  • Boomerang and Pet Rock: increased no-hit interval to nerf vacuum combo, aka Doomerang is less OP now
    
  • Hinder: increased duration of slow 2.5s -> 3s
    
  • Flash Flood: now nullifies all knockback for 0.5s after teleport and return teleport
    
  • Water Cannon: increased radius of capsule collider from 0.9 to 1.2
    
  • Rocket: increased damage from 8->9, range, increase final explosion damage and knockback
    
  • Compound: windup time 0.6s -> 0.65s, winddown time 1.4s -> 1.5s
    
  • Clones now have 1/3 health instead of 1/2 - increased clone explosion damage 14 -> 18 and knockback 50 -> 60
    
  • Sunder: increased hit box radius 1 -> 1.35
    
  • Relapse: made status particles even more obvious
    
  • Vanguard: if wizard was moving when it was casted, it would sometimes end up anchored to the player wrong on other clients; this is now fixed
    
  • Tow Vine: no longer gets stuck on nearby walls when you cast it, unless aimed at the wall
    
  • Rocket no longer gets stuck in wormhole with 0 velocity
    
  • Wormhole no longer kills lightning bug
    
  • Increased hitbox of decoy 1->1.25, increased reactivation window 2.5s -> 4s
    
  • Increased reactivation window of Backup from 2.5s -> 4s
    
  • Suspend: increased slow % from 30 to 40
    
  • Reactivating swap for Decoy no longer leaves a disk on the ground for other clients
    
  • Rocket no longer goes through walls after hitting a unit
    
  • Boomerang no longer disappears if it hits a unit owned by you
    
  • Hot Swap no longer disappears if it hits an invalid unit
    
  • Bombshell: turtles are now 10% faster
    
  • You can now hit your own clones with Time Bomb now
