I dont see it in the patch notes, but even if they did it would barely be noticable.

Edit- Also, level 9 is a bad time to judge how a power works slotted up since your friend still likely has Training Origin enhancements in his hover. At DO's you'll start noticing a difference and by SO's you definitely will.
They upped the base speed of Hover, so, at the low end, it wasn't so slow. Fully slotting it was only a slight buff from previously fully slotting it.

It's also worth mentioning that nowadays, Swift takes Flight Speed enhancements as well as Run Speed ones. That's a big help for my Hoverers -- though they still use Fly to get across town. But it at least lets them Hover around a mission map and keep up with their non-airborne teammates.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Hover used to be so slow back in the day that using it looked comical. Your character also used to use the default Fly pose while moving so it looked like they were desperately straining to move through the air at a snail's pace.
Now Hover is a bit closer to "Flying Sprint" in terms of speed.

Also, your base hover speed goes up with levels, i beleive (i know fly does). So level 9 is a really bad judge of its potential.
You'll still need an outside buff to reach max hover speed, but hovering while having speed boost applied is pretty fast!

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
As someone else who also came back after a while, yeah, Hover feels a LOT faster than it did before.
I've been gone for a while and I keep hearing that they upped the speed on Hover. I didn't seem to go much faster Hovering than my level 9 friend who had it unenhanced. What's the deal here?
