[p align="start"][b]Flip Reset Indicator[/b][/p][p align="start"]We’ve introduced a new audio and visual cue to signal when a player has achieved a [b]flip reset[/b],[b] [/b]which is when the player has regained their dodge by touching the ball with three or more wheels.[/p]The visual effect is designed as a quick burst to reinforce the moment of reset without disrupting gameplay clarity.
The flip reset indicator is only visible/audible to the player performing the flip reset or for spectators, but appears for all players during replays, when the option is enabled.
You can disable the flip reset indicator in the settings.
[list]Disabling the flip reset indicator also turns off the effect while you spectate.
Show your MMR on Competitive Playlist tiles.
Display MMR on the scoreboard at the end of Ranked Matches.
Large boost pads take 10 seconds to respawn, with the visual indicator gradually refilling over those 10 seconds until the pad is fully recharged.

[p align="start"][b]Override Boost Audio Option[/b][/p][p align="start"]Players can now set the default, Standard Boost sound to any Boost they have equipped.[/p]The Override Boost Audio check box can be found in the Audio tab in the settings.
Only affects your in-match audio, not replays or menus. Other players will still hear the sound associated with the equipped Boost.
