BUG FIXES

Heroes, Abilities, and Talents

Fixed an issue that could cause Tyrael, Uther, and Gall players to incorrectly receive AFK Warnings due to the combination of their post-death effects and lengthy death timers at later levels. Rexxar: Misha can now push Minions and allied Mercenaries, but will not push enemy or uncaptured Mercenaries. Sgt. Hammer: Basic Attack range indicators should now appear consistent while Sgt. Hammer is in both Tank and Siege Modes. Zagara: After learning Medusa Blades, Zagara will now deal the correct amount of damage to her secondary Basic Attack targets.

User Interface

Commendations: Fixed an issue in which Commendations could incorrectly credit players with unrealistic stats, such as 100% of the team’s damage soaked or Healing done.
