What officially changed
Hey all, we have made the following changes.
FIXED:
Catalyst's Toxic Empress skin now has the appropriate glow visual effects, in-match
Valkyrie's jetpack handles are no longer missing in specific scenarios
Fuse's Knuckle Cluster holder is now properly displayed
Wattson players will no longer hear Hardlight rebuilding and being destroyed as a result of her tactical/ultimate placement in the ring
Game stability improvements on the Switch 2
We are also making the following changes to matchmaking in an effort to provide the best possible match quality for players:
ADJUSTED:
We are increasing maximum queue times slightly for players at the higher end of Ranked and pubs. Our goal is tighter skill bands and more competitive games across the board.
For Drop Zone Ranked matches, we will be displaying Ranked tier distribution charts of squads, not individual players consistent with non-Drop Zone lobbies.
TESTING:
We are testing a 4 hour Ranked map rotation schedule in East Asia for the rest of the split. *We do not recommend changing servers as it will result in much higher pings.
