Has anyone noticed medivh portals don't work as well anymore?

Title.

Last patch, they had a fairly big hitbox and I thought using one was fairly intuitive. Now, I start up the game today, and the portals are incredibly tempermental. Quickly moving back and forth between two gates is impossible.

The icing on the cake? I actually was prevented from clicking on a portal because of an Anub'arak beetle that was sitting off to the side of it. Honestly, I find it nearly unplayable imo. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Hi!!

    Sorry, it looks we dropped the ball on a patch note! Indeed, we did change the portals, and should have a note being added to our patch notes soon(tm)!

    The Clickbox for the portals is now limited to the inner-area of the Portal.

    (That is, you have to click on the black swirly center of the portal).

    We noticed a LOT of misclicks (even at high level play!), and wanted to get a fix out the door to make it harder to accidentally portal yourself.

    Also of note, the portals have the highest click-priority in our game. Other Heroes, minions, and summons (including pesky Anub Beetles) cannot eat your portal clicks, provided you are clicking on the center of the portal (the new, tighter Clickbox).

    Apologies we didn't get the patch note out for this! (We thought we weren't getting the fix until later, then magically it swooped in!) We will get that updated asap!!
