The developers have also fine-tuned the matchmaking and ranked pairing mechanics for fairer competition, saying, “Skill-based matchmaking parameters are now stricter, especially in ranked matches, ensuring more evenly matched teams.”

They said that these features are “designed to ensure that league placement more accurately reflects each player’s current level.”
Aside from these, the developers are also celebrating the game reaching over 6 million players, over 100 million hours and 525 million matches played. They also acknowledged the emerging competitive scene for the game.
