Developer Comments:

"We wanted to enhance the responsiveness of equipping and using Sponsor utility, so now all thrown projectile Sponsor abilities are changing to improve their 'snappiness.' These changes should let you use abilities earlier, without needing to time your button press exactly when the activation window opens. Combined with sped-up animations, deploying utility should now feel much smoother."
