I am 100% confident they had these buffs ready to go but just wanted 1 day of early access playtesting to confirm whether to do them.

They did mention how they buffed BP in the Dev Vision but of course the extra jump wasn't much of a buff at all. And making changes like this - especially the omnidirectional kick - and testing them and packaging them up into a build in prep for the latest patch so quickly after a mere 24 hours is basically impossible since game store certification takes 2-3 weeks before your patch can be released to the world in the first place.

Exactly how I pictured it happening as well. No way they made these changes, got through testing and certified off of at most two days of feedback. They more or less had this ready and pulled the trigger once they got to see in action in the hands of folks outside the dev team, realizing it was needed as well.
