Multiplayer
- When two players/teams from different divisions meet in Ranked Solo Duels/Team Duels, the higher division's map will be used instead of the lower division's.
- Mobile and Web ratings are now separated (long term aim to build a new competitive system for the Apps).
- Map is now shown before rounds in Duels and Team Duels.
- You can now see remaining time left for your potential teammate to accept (30s) using "Find teammate" in ranked team duels.
- We now allow for 1 extra second after time runs out for "late guesses" to be registered in Ranked Duels and Team Duels. At the same time, this feature was removed from Party context. This was implemented due to battle the issue with lag and late guesses not registering.
- All players that have never played a game in the Solo Duels competitive format since the launch of new divisional format earlier this year, will start in Bronze (i.e. not based on their latent rating).
