I played a match earlier as Yamato to try out her new changes, and during lane when I charged a powerslash, a strange visual bug happened that persisted for the entire match. I was fighting a Paradox and Ivy, and was overextended, so I walljumped away near their neutral camp and pre-charged a powerslash to anticipate them coming around the corner. They got there faster than I expected, and so I hit the mouse button (probably multiple times, as I was caught off guard and spamming on reflex) to fire off the slash early. It did damage as expected, but seemed to fire off its visual effects and audio multiple times. The slash "projectile" effect seemed to occur 3 or 4 times, accompanied by the audio cue. It also created a red "shadow flame" type effect on my character model, similar to the one that occurs during Yamato's ult, but stacked on top of itself multiple times. The flame effect persisted on my character for the entire match, through death, stuns, rejuvenator revival, unstuck command, everything. It made it very hard to see what was close to me, which led to a lot of blind melee swings that got me parried a couple times. The stacking of the effect also nearly halved my framerate, which wasn't crippling, but it definitely put me at a notable disadvantage in intense fights - my old PC already has a hard time when all the ability fireworks are going off during a battle in base. Has anyone else had this happen? Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot or video but if it occurs again I'll edit/reply to this thread with one attached.
