General Changes

•Added Trapper to Hero Labs
•Added support for Hero Labs in Private Lobbies, Private Bot Games and Sandbox that can be used at any time
•Various adjustments to Experimental Heroes are listed in the in-game notes for Hero Labs
•Added Quickbuy - You can now right-click items in the shop to add them to your Quickbuy queue. When you return to the shop, you will automatically purchase the items you can afford in your set order. An indicator on the hud will light up when you can afford the next item on your list. In Settings you may change the purchase mode to use a hotkey while in range of the shop rather than auto-purchase.
•The shaders, map and various other resources will now pre-compile on the dashboard to improve loading times when getting into a match. This also reduces in-game hitching in some cases.
•Added a visual indicator when browsing builds that shows which item types are most present in the build (Weapon, Vitality, Spirit).
•Added a Recent Purchases log to the Shop that displays all items bought by players during a match, ordered by most recent
•Added support for the new Steam Game Recording Timeline API. This automatically adds timeline markers for kills, deaths, and team objectives.
•
