If this is your takeaway after someone suggests there's a whole lot of diversity in opinions around the change(s) we made, you're definitely doing your best redditor impression.

Yes! Thank you for understanding. That’s the point of having a community manager. Hearing the cries of your player base when something has gone really wrong

This subreddit, while a valuable resource, does not represent the community as a whole. The conversation around the Casual changes we made on this sub is pretty different when compared to the conversation on Twitter, and elsewhere.

From your top post:

this is our hobby, it’s our competitive outlet with absolutely zero alternative in the genre. We have no place to go. That should be treated as something precious

This, right here, is exactly why we made the changes to Casual. While Casual matches aren't nearly as serious as Competitive, they shouldn't be treated as disposable, either. Whether you're answering the door, or quitting out because you went down one goal with three minutes left on the clock, leaving teammates to hold the bag when you bail is pretty unfair to them, and it affects quality of play. Sometimes...

This would make Season Rewards way easier, at least!

casual basically became ranked for no reason... the changes to ranked means i have to play casual when im playing with my girl... changing the players online format is just f**king stupid

way to f**k up my favorite game guys, you gonna tell kanye to scrap Donda too?

Yes! Take a look at the details in the patch notes. We'll be on the lookout for feedback from players on these changes once everybody has a feel for it.

Of course you'll probably have fewer of these happening if people are discouraged from quitting, but it will still happen.

We're making some adjustments so you won't be backfilled into games like this. We also fixed it so you won't get backfilled into a game you have left.

It's a little more complex than that. RL uses PsyNet to manage backend services, and it also runs on UE3. Adding voice requires a substantial amount of work in both. :D

Respectfully disagree! I think these changes are going to make the experience in Casual Playlists way better. How often do people bail on a match after going down by one goal with four minutes left on the clock? If we can discourage early leavers who bail in situations like that, the quality of play in Casual will see a big jump in the right direction.

Leaving early/conceding should be a team decision, and the option to leave before 0:00 still remains with the new Vote to Concede option being added in this update.

No updates as we're pretty early in the process on that.

The same title will be granted across all three tournament categories.

Parties of 2 will be able to join a 3v3 tournament, but we're putting some new party rules in place to help keep teams balanced. We'll talk about it more in the patch notes next week.
