I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet. This makes it much harder to search an account on RL tracker. This has to be an affort to keep players from being able to confirm smurfs. Same energy and the (good, great, awesome) player counts.

Hey folks! Looks like this change went out earlier than intended -- it was originally supposed to be part of Season 9 going live on the 7th, and is in the patch notes next week. We did retire the "Psy Net" avatar, and now the "blank headshot" avatar is being used whenever there isn't a platform avatar to see.
