A small patch with a practical warning

The September 22 patch corrects Team Drives titles displaying placeholder text, Drive Signature prestige changes occurring after the event, and a scope issue on Ashe's Metalcore skin. Blizzard also states that replay codes are wiped by this update.

That last point is the useful warning for anyone keeping match evidence. Earlier September hotfixes explicitly preserved the September 8 codes, but the September 22 entry does not. An old assurance about replay availability should not be carried forward after this patch.

Separate a display fix from competitive progress

A title rendering correctly does not mean an expired Drive has reopened. Likewise, correcting signature behavior is not an announcement of a new reward track. These fixes address how event cosmetics appear and behave after the already-completed September event.

For replay-based coaching or bug reports, save the match date and a written account of the issue rather than depending on a code remaining valid indefinitely. Video capture can preserve a specific incident when a patch invalidates the original replay, although it will not replace every camera angle or statistic a replay provides. This report is dated to the actual update and linked to Blizzard's monthly log, keeping the code reset visible rather than burying it in a general seasonal roundup.
