September 10 hotfix corrects Ramattra, Jetpack Cat and Vendetta abilities

Three ability bugs are corrected in the September 10 hotfix. The fixes address Ramattra’s Vortex detonation delay, Jetpack Cat’s Purr crossing enemy barriers, and Vendetta’s weapon range.

The short version

  • Ravenous Vortex unintended delay fixed
  • Purr no longer passes through enemy barriers
  • Palatine Fang range issue fixed
  • September 8 replay codes retained for this hotfix

RankUp's take

Ramattra’s Ravenous Vortex had an unintended additional delay before detonation. Blizzard says this has been resolved; the notes do not describe a new intentional cooldown adjustment.

Jetpack Cat’s Purr should no longer pass through enemy barriers. Treat barriers as a real restriction instead of planning around the previous bug.

An issue affecting Palatine Fang’s range in certain situations is also fixed. Vendetta players should reassess spacing in fresh games rather than depending on inconsistent reach. Replay codes from the September 8 patch remained available for this hotfix.

What this means for you

Recheck timing and spacing on the corrected abilities, particularly Purr around enemy barriers.
