    Fixes to the saved Cover feature (not sure what that is)

    It's out on Android, but the release notes are vague. I'm just gonna avoid until it's required.

    And as you'd expect, r158 notes are the latest on the d3go.com page.

    @Brigby Did someone hit the Publish Update Button by mistake?

    Considering that a new release note is out approximately every two weeks, and the DDP has not been updated as of now, it's likely that we didn't get any update in the forum, or they have surprises for us in R159.  :D

    Do you see any new support? The current count is 38 supports.

    Has anyone checked to see if they un- nerfed Gambit?!?!? Otherwise I'm guessing it is an update to 4* Star-Lord where they finally admit he doesn't go with "everyone".

    Why Star-Lord? The update size is pretty significant: 80+ MB. Is this the typical update size for new release note?

    Because Star-Lord's domination of the meta has to end some day...

    So far I've noticed the support banners now mention the actual effect of the support instead of just the name of the support. That's actually nice.

    Usually no one looks much at the App Store notes (or Android Store, etc) because the forum has the official, more detailed version.  But every time, it says things about character rebalances.  The small ones, if they exist, go live when you update (say, last time when Wiccan's Chain Lightning was improved).  The bigger ones (like nerfing Godbit) always get implemented at season end and end up being announced in the new season's post.

    The revision contains a lot of data that gets "turned on" by a daily patch, like the new character, new events (ha ha) if any, and major rebalances.  And sometimes a new feature.

    People have noticed that on the purchase screen where you buy resources, it tells you if your Bonus Rewards are active or not (have you made a purchase in the past 30 days, basically).

    Oh, and there will be some Support, I assume, for Loki.  Including Okoye, the last 6 characters have had a Support arrive after they were released.  Do you want one?  Get your wallet and/or rabbit's foot ready.

    I feel like the rabbit and gave my left foot already.  

    It would be nice to see some official response to see if there are any other changes.  Anything on Discord?
