Following Update 10.3, we noticed several unintentional bugs and with today’s update, we’re fixing some of these issues as well as temporarily reverting some changes. We’re still investigating other reports as well. Thank you as always for reporting those issues to us!_

**Goo**

- Temporarily increased the time it takes for goo to break when overlapping a player from 0.2s to 0.8s

_Dev Note: The change to the time it takes for goo to break that we made in 10.3 caused several unintended severe bugs, including not interrupting objective steal attempts, as well as allowing shielding of stealing teammates from all damage. As a result, we have to revert this change for the time being, but we intend to have these issues solved and the change reinstated in 10.6. We apologize for the mistake, especially after all the great memes related to this change yesterday!_
