E.T.C.: Fixed missing cast animations for Power of the Horde at level 20, along with the visual effects. Additionally, E.T.C. will now face the direction of the cast when using Ride the Lightning. Gazlowe: The minimum cast range for Grav-O-Bomb 3000 has been removed, and it no longer bypasses flight time when used within Gazlowe's space. Hanzo: The minimum cast range for Sonic Arrow (E) has also been removed, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience. Murky: Similar adjustments have been made to Pufferfish (W), removing the minimum cast range. Orphea: A fix has been reverted for Shadow Waltz (Q), as it was preventing her from dashing after hitting an enemy hero. The team will continue to investigate this issue. Tychus: The minimum cast range for Frag Grenade (W) has been removed, enhancing his usability.With these changes, players can expect a more refined and enjoyable experience in Heroes of the Storm.
