Weapon Tuning Changes to Matchmaking
Just a reminder that the new weapon tunings will go live today in Team Arena. For all the details, see THIS POST HERE.
For the curious, Team Arena population and engagement has roughly doubled with people trying the new settings, so if you haven’t, get in there and see what you think. The matchmaking in Team Arena right now is some of the best available in Ranked.
CSR (Rank) Boundaries
Some of you have noticed that Ranks feel a little “easier” this season. This is accurate. Before each new season, we evaluate the current Ranks distribution and update the boundaries. We found that the Rank boundaries going into the last season was too strict by the end of the season. The usual season update that we do has made it “feel” easier to get to some of the higher Ranks this season.
We haven’t made it “easy” to get into Onyx, per se, it was just too “hard” before, and now it’s more correct.
Also, keep in mind that this does NOT affect your matchmaking. You’re playing the same people as before, just with improved labels, so don’t “freak out” when you start playing more Onyx folks. Most of them are in the same boat as you, and are just as concerned as you are to play versus you.
