Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system. When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards. The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.

• Replaced the recent soul duplication hotfix with new behavior. Pre 10 min, lanes now always split orbs when there are more heroes than the assigned participants for that lane (3+ people in a dual lane, 2+ people in a solo). Previously it only split with 3+ people regardless of the lane, which is what allowed soul abuses when dipping into a solo lane.
• Private lobbies can now assign players to duo and solo lanes
• Fixed some recent bugs with Vindicta Flight that could cause some large bursts in a direction
• Fixed being able to shoot while using Ethereal Shift and flying with Vindicta
• Veil Walker: Fire Rate reduced from 30% to 20%

• Fixed players being able to exploit soul sharing across multiple lanes to earn more souls than intended. The way the fix is implemented is that each player can only be considered for an enemy trooper death event 4 times per wave number during the laning phase.
• Fixed troopers sometimes not dying after doing their death flash state
• Fixed Unstoppable state not preventing fire rate reductions
• Fixed Grey Talon's Charge Shot and Vindicta's Assassinate cameras not working properly
