BUGS

• Known iOS Issue: When previewing a costume in the Costumes Store, graphical issues are visible. We're working on a fix for this.
• Night Nurse's Special ability, "First Aid," was not healing adjacent allies. The ability text was also corrected to be consistent with our formatting style.
• Bishop's Special ability, "Retaliation Laser," was incorrectly granting him Offense Up when Jubilee was only on the enemy team and no Jubilee was an ally. This should only happen when Jubilee is an ally.
• Yellowjacket's Ultimate ability, "Hostile Takeover," was sometimes not applying Drain via his Passive ability.
• Text Fix: Hawkeye's Passive Ability, "Shot in the Dark," was missing "gains +100,000% Focus for this attack." The combat behavior has always been correct and remains unchanged.
• Chat was sometimes not showing the most recent messages.
• On the Squad Select screen, the Synergy icon was displaying for characters who didn't have active Synergies.
