Double Up

Systems

Previously players could purchase units while reinforcing, but could not manipulate their own  bench. This resulted in cases where a player would want to buy champions but could not due to their bench being full and having no way to sell units to make room as you can in standard mode.

• LoL 12.9 patch notes - New Challenges system, champion buffs and nerfs
• League of Legends MSI 2022 - Dates, location, teams, and more
• Valorant 4.09 patch notes - Chamber nerf, Fade updates, and more
• Riot announces Valorant esports plans for 2023

While not a common occurrence, it was still a pain point we wanted to resolve.

• You can now return to your own board to interact with your bench after reinforcing your partner.
• As a result the unit shop UI is also turned off while you are watching your partner’s board, but it will reappear when you are looking at your own board. 

Bug Fixes

• Ashe Volley Tooltip now correctly states 20% Attack Speed slow
