📋 Patch Notes
What's new, fixed, and changed in Predecessor Scout.
February 9, 2026
Team Lab Accuracy + V2 Audit
- Damage type detection — Rewrote hero damage classification using actual ability scaling data. Previously used a hardcoded map with major errors (Countess listed as physical, Wukong as physical, Kwang as physical, Steel as physical — all are actually magical). Now 49 heroes correctly categorized as physical/magical/hybrid.
- Team strengths — Team Lab now shows what's GOOD about your comp, not just weaknesses. Shows balanced damage, CC chains, frontline, sustain, mobility, engage, and peel analysis.
- Team grade — Build Your Stack now shows an overall letter grade (S/A/B/C/D/F) so you get a quick read on your comp.
- Weakness context — Weaknesses now explain WHY something is a problem and what you can do about it (e.g., "Heavily physical damage — enemies can stack armor and nullify your team").
- Hybrid damage handling — Heroes like TwinBlast, Wraith, Narbash, Riktor, and Boris now count as 50/50 split instead of being forced into one category.
