[Focus Feedback & Bug Reporting] 3v3 Player vs Player Arenas

Kay

Thanks for the feedback on the fire ring. We have a fix for some invisible collisions in the arena which didn’t make it into this PTR latest build, but are in test at the moment. Does that sound like what you’re experiencing when you say ‘buggy floor’? Like there are random collisions or lack thereof?

Luxendra

Maintenance has been completed! See you in the PTR!

[Focus Feedback & Bug Reporting] 3v3 Player vs Player Arenas

Kay

Hey all, if you hop into the PTR today after the most recent patch is complete, would you please take note of when you start to receive damage from the fire ring?

Does it damage you before the fire has reached you?
Or does it, as intended, only damage you when you touch it (fire hot !).
