The emote and spray wheel has been reimagined!
- They are now split into two separate wheels with dedicated hotkeys for lightning-fast switching.
- In the Cosmetics - Sprays menu, you can now set your current spray wheel to be shared across all heroes.
- A new quick-equip feature has been added: Emotes can be automatically slot into the corresponding hero's emote wheel upon acquisition; and when the spray wheel is set to "Apply to All", newly earned sprays can also be equipped instantly.
Portraits in "Heroes" have been updated to reflect their currently equipped costumes.

Jeff's Missing Meal: We've wiped out a glitch where, in controller mode, when Jeff the Land Shark swallowed 6 enemies with his Ultimate Ability, only 5 avatar icons showed up on screen. Now, our fin-tastic friend will see his 6-piece meal every time!
Banner's Space Out: We've smashed a bug that left all three forms of Bruce Banner unable to bind the jump action to the Spacebar. Now, Banner can leap into action as intended.
