Rumor has it…
We have taken some steps in the last few updates to improve input response times when firing abilities. There have been subtle changes made so far, and we are happy to report that most inputs fire about 50% faster than previously! 
We have intentionally not reported this change in previous releases to ensure our metrics are accurate.
Commentary
We’re following on from last week’s update with a big focus on balance and improving stability. The biggest changes this week belong to Sir Knight, who has had a weapon and ability overhaul.
With his new primary attack and emphasis on knockback Sir Knight is now much more effective at controlling areas up close. We’ve also overhauled his shield to have a long cooldown that we believe will force Knight to be more strategic as to when he deploys it, to make up for this it is larger and will re-deploy with full health. The addition of the Electro-ball ability gives Knight a powerful ranged option, whose chain damage effect complements his area control characteristics.
He’s not perfect yet and we still have some more changes we’d like to make to his ability set. However it’s a step in the right direction.
As a side note, we hear your concerns about the small minority of players who are employing dishonest measures to give themselves an unfair advantage. This is no place for these players in Q-Clash and we are working hard to remove them from our game.
As always keep sending us your feedback. There’s still a way to go, but with each update we’re getting closer!
