Big Ol' Halloween Update!

Happy Murderversary everyone!

This update was focused on bug fixes, optimizations and quality of life adjustments.

Spookyfall

• All words are Halloween themed.
  
• The map has custom Spirit interactions and increased Spirit gain rate.

The goods

• Snickle Snackle no longer flickers visibility and instead is only visible if they're in your peripheral and if they're not crouched.
  
• Snickle Snackle no longer propagates with their E, but do gain max health until death if they kill with it.
  
• Stack gain for them is 4x as fast. ( I may drop their E ability and just make snickle do heavy back stab damage.)
  
• AGMs now start to take ambient damage once they've initially been triggered, this damage will drop them within 1-6 life but wont fully kill them.
  
• President no longer has stamina drain on his primary attack
  
• Fixed some UV issues in Skyfall
  
• Made Objective Information a toggle instead of a hold
  
• Lowered Global Spirit Event count to 1 from 5, hoping this incentivizes using spirit abilities and interacting with minor spirit events more often.

• Devourer Teleport cooldown lowered to 5 from 25 seconds.
  
• Snickle damage from primary attack lowered to 15 from 25
