    After installing new update I noticed that all champions that have animation where they throwing stuff at you are not displayed, for example:
    • Cable sp2
    • Domino sp1
    • Goblin sp1
    • Jane thor

    I will upload videos soon, I Hope others will see and share videos.

    UPDATE:
    Cable Video (pay attention to the bombs he shooting):

    Ok yeah I've noticed the same thing as well, I was going to make a post last night but I wasn't sure how to post a video on here. But yeah happens to any champion that has a special attack that involves a projectile like gambits sp1, voodoos sp2, howards sp1 etc.

    Again, It looks to be intentional ...
    They just removed the impact when you evade the special

    It only makes sense.
    If you evaded the special, how could it have an impact point?

    Some specials seem to be made shorter, and I don't think it's visual only

    I don’t think it’s device related. It works when you use champs with projectiles but doesn’t work when AI is using specials. You can see it with any champ.

    Whether it's intentional or not I really like this change.

    I noticed this also when evading projectile specials , like Hawkeye.

    As you may have noticed after the latest patch when you dodge a projectile with dexterity it no longer plays a sound and simply disappears silently. Previously projectiles would make the sound of landing right as you dodged which, while maybe being a bit strange, we've gotten used to hearing and sometimes using as audio cues. I'm just wondering if this was an intentional change since there was no mention of it in the patch notes.

    I’ve noticed this too, but I quite like it. Less distracting although it doesn’t look as cool to evade explosions and things since they just disappear.

    Hi all,

    We've passed along this information and will let you know once we learn more.

    Anyone else experiencing SP animations of projectiles disappearing at point of contact? Eg. Hawkeye's SP1 & 2 arrow, Yondu's SP2 meteor shower, Cable's SP2 final energy blast, Gwenpool's SP2 bomb blast, etc.
    Only happens when defender throws special, not attacker.

    Its actually what it should be in the 1st place... what i am trying to say is that the projectile should disappear when you evade it, since it doesn't touch you it shouldn't explode, earlier it used to just explode in the air, it is the logical thing to do and kabam finally did the right thing.
  • _Kill_Switch__Kill_Switch_ Member Posts: 275 ★★
    You're partially correct. It makes perfect sense for SOME SPs, like Domino sp1, GP sp2 and both Hawkeye sp's.
    For champs like Yondu and Cable though, it's looks buggy. Yondu even more so. In one instance, as I evaded the meteors of his sp2, they never even appeared on screen, completely disappeared but dexterity proc'd just fine, meaning if I hadn't evaded or mistimed my evade I'd have been struck by invisible projectiles.

    Ok so this has been going on for awhile. I thought Kabam already knew about it. Medusa is supposed to consume all of her furies when living strands triggers autoblock. This is not happening we she is a war defender. She is consuming 1 fury. Then she gains it back rather quickly. This leads to her having living strands almost the entire fight. She’s already ridiculously hard as a defender and this glitch just makes her insane.

    I thought this would have been posted ages ago but I haven't found any discussions.

    When characters for special 2s, the end part of the animations are missing for certain characters. E.g. Gwenpool, she kicks a bomb but there is no explosion, Yondo's arrows that come down are invisible.

    I'm using an iPhone 7 Plus on iOS 12 & have been experiencing it since the update last month.

    Hi all!

    Just wanted to give an update. We'll have a fix for the issue where projectiles are disappearing in a future update!
