General Changes

Added hero banning to Standard Mode and Street Brawl. You can now select one hero in your roster screen (using middle click) to tell the matchmaker that you prefer to avoid that hero. When the game starts, it will tell you which heroes were banned. We are doing just 2 total bans for now. This does not affect new heroes in the initial release window.
Parties of 3+ players now need to have an additional hero in their roster (from 3 to 4)
Fire Rate increases and reductions from most abilities and items are reduced globally by a small amount
Updated various on bullet hit resistance reduction debuffs to apply increased damage for subsequent hits rather than initial hit (similar to the spirit damage proc cases)

Curse: Renamed Curse to Cursed Relic
Curse: No longer grants +15% Weapon Damage
Curse: While holding this item you have a -8% Total Damage Penalty
