[2019] v8.1 patchnotes

This is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

We're waiting to see how it goes.

My .02 is that mobile players are better than most people think they are, and we wanted to try giving our pools a chance to stretch their legs a little more.

If we see it negatively affecting the experience of mobile/switch players in the wild, we'll make changes, but there's a good chance it increases the quality of matches for people that in both pools.

Also worth noting that most of the people that play within the first couple hours of launch are our best players, so it's not necessarily indicative of the play experience in the days or even hours down the road. We're watching it closely though.

I can give an updoot on this one.

We had a fix for this that made it most of the way through testing, but caused a worse bug on some devices that we found too late to fix and test enough to be comfortable with potential knock ons, so we reverted the change to investigate more.

Yes, what he said is accurate to the best of my knowledge.
