Unintended effect?? Wand of Light effect is excessively blinding to the player it hits

Virtek

Description
Wand of Light effect excessively blinding to the player it hits

Bug Reproduction Steps
Get hit with the ability from the Wand of Light

Expected Result
A beam of light acts as a beacon on my character, ensuring that I cannot easily hide to repair/heal, snipe, or simply escape. Also makes the afflicted player easy to find for third parties

Bug Report - Actual Result
The beam of light acts like a quasi "darkness" that sticks with the player. This beam is bright enough around the player's direct line-of-sight that it acts as an obstruction and causes difficulty in attacking or defending themselves.
This feels like excessive punishment to the afflicted player

The in-game description says something about the Target being blinded by the light of 10,0000 suns....

Yeah, fair enough
I still feel like it's a bit extra, with the other effects of the special.

That said, I got hit with it again in a recent match and it didn't seem so bad. Makes me wonder if it stacks and I got hit a couple times

It used to stack. After a recent patch it only resets the timer when hit multiple times.

Virtek

Woot! Yay for that fix, hehe

Thanks for the info, @xlangatangx !
