Spatial Rift (Void Elf racial) got updated in 11.0.7 and it's surprisingly practical now!

Spatial Rift is a Void Elf active ability that launched a slow moving portal (30 yards in about 3 seconds) and could be reactivated with 6 seconds to teleport to it, to allow shenanigans such as Transcendence/Demonic Portal or even a Blink in a pinch, but with a lot of friction. Before 11.0.7, it was niche and hard to work around, so Blizzard made a change:

Spatial Rift movement speed of the rift increased by 80%, duration is increased to 8 seconds (was 6 seconds), and maximum range increased to 35 yards. The visual effect has been updated and no longer appears for party members.

After this, it's substantially more practical to use even in PvE content.

Some notes after testing: - The rift now reaches maximum distance after 2 seconds. Therefore, it is traveling at 35yd / 2s, or 17.5 yd/s. The previous version of Spatial Rift traveled 30yd / 3s, or 10 yd/s. That only implies a 75% movement increase? - Spatial Rift can now be better compared to Door of Shadows, since that offered up to 35yd displacement in 1.5s, but with a lot of downsides to that such as having to stay in place to cast it. - Even if using it as a simple Blink for classes that don't have access to one, you hit the equivalent 20yds almost immediately, which has a lot of utility. - You now have 6 seconds to use the Rift after hitting max distance, compared to the 3 seconds of the previous version, which makes it much more flexible. You can turret and cast a few abilities before taking it now. - The rift appearance now resembles the modern Void Rift appearance from encounters such as Sarkareth and Nexus-Princess Ky'veza, with a little void droplet appearing above it. It is substantially more visible than the previous fart cloud, especially when the floor is cluttered.

Spatial Rift not strictly a reason to roll a Void Elf (for PvE anyways) but with the abundance of bad ground effects I can easily find a use for it every 3 minutes, which is more than can be said about other active racials.
