The Update Where We Add Quickload

GENERAL

• Performance work: drastically sped up load times for most users. Get greeted by your dashboard Underlord in record time!

• Fixed a crash on the City Crawl map and a crash when accessing the file system.

• Fixed an issue where HTML tags would show in some objective descriptions.

• Changed the number of units in each tier in the draft pool. There are now 30 of each Tier 1 unit, 20 Tier 2, 15 Tier 3, 12 Tier 4, and 10 Tier 5. This should increase your odds of ranking up un-contested heroes, and in general encourage more diverse and unique crews in a match.
