Riot explains that Patch 3.02 features “more bug fixes” while it continues to “evaluate those large Episode 3 changes—especially KAY/O’s overall impact.” Perhaps the most noticeable change is the reduction to clipping during gameplay, which should make for a smoother overall experience.
Here’s the full list of changes:
Game System Updates
- Changes made to how clipping is calculated, which should result in less clipping overall in your gameplay
- Yes, things are still going to clip, but you will see a noticeable lack of hands, melees, abilities, and general effects poking through thin walls.
Social Updates
- Added a space between the Match Rank and Leaderboard Ranking for Immortal+ rankings in the Hover Card UI
Bug Fixes
Agents
- Sage can no longer place her Barrier Orb between the pyramids on Breeze to create a sliver peak
- “Sliver peak” refers to a very small gap created by sandwiching two things and creating an advantageous line of sight.
- Fixed KAY/O’s textures applying themselves to weapons when he is re-stabilized during NULL/cmd(X)
- Removed the ability to place Raze’s Boombot through some walls
Social
- Fixed a bug where the Team-voice volume sliders would always reset to 50
- Hooray! That’s the sound of us thanking you for your patience.
- Fixed a bug where the scrollbar in the Social Panel would sometimes display incorrectly
- Fixed the pixelated border surrounding the Unranked icon in the Hover Card UI
- Fixed an issue where the blurred background would sometimes make friend notes illegible in the Hover Card UI
