Patch 0.33.0
Matchmaking
Added a soft Skill Based Matchmaking. It is based on your MMR that has already been tracked. We don’t want to hide the SBMM like other games, we will make everything transparent. It is currently configured to separate top players from new players/noobies, but you will still have a wide range of players. [MMR Range: 0-1000, Initial SBMM Range: 500, New Player MMR: 200]
You can see your relative Match Difficulty at the start of the game. That means when you have 300 MMR and more players in the lobby have something like 600 MMR, it will indicate that as a harder match for you. This will also affect MMR calculation - you don’t have to perform that well in harder games and the other way around.
You can also see the match difficulty in the Game Summary
Performance
We are now using a more modern compiler, resulting in a significant CPU performance improvement. If you notice any degradation please hit us up.
