Do you know what the "wavy line with red universal no" button does?

    I had to go into the game files and look at the HTML to figure out firstly that the "little bar at the bottom that isn't the build bar or the Uber bar or the action bar" is called the "ingame options bar", and secondly what the "wavy line with red universal no" button on it does. I couldn't tell anything whatsoever from the icon.

    So, how about some tooltips for those buttons? I don't want other people to be as baffled as I was.

    Tooltips get overlooked a lot, they're great not only for stuff "in-game" but also for places like the Option menu for video options and such.

    Completely agree. No idea what they do except chronocam. I remember messing with that button and I think I got a popup message that was completely vague and useless. Something to do with pathing I think...
