Y8S1 MID-SEASON ROADMAP UPDATE

Each season, as we introduce new content, we are also providing an updated Roadmap to ensure transparency on upcoming features. When making those adjustments, we are considering multiple factors including the community feedback.

Today's update reflects some of the feedback you've shared with us following the Year 8 Reveal Panel back at the Six Invitational 2023 last February.

MOUSETRAP (MOUSE & KEYBOARD ON CONSOLE)
On consoles, mouse and keyboard players now get a penalty that adds lag to their inputs. Continued use increases the lag over several matches, increasing fairness by removing their unfair advantage by making it harder to aim and shoot. Completing matches with a controller gradually reduces the lag back to normal.

This feature will be monitored closely.

NEW RANKED SYSTEM
In the past, the Ranked System was a pure skill system in which there was only one value, the MMR, used for Skill and Rank. Any change that we needed to make on the Ranked system was affecting the skill and thus the matchmaking.

WHAT ARE WE CHANGING?
We are splitting what was previously known as MMR into Skill and Rank.

SKILL
Your skill (what was previously known as MMR) will be a hidden value that will be used for matchmaking.

Your skill represents your ability to win a game. Comparing two teams' skill gives you the probability that one team will win against the other. The higher the difference, the more likely a given team is going to win. When two teams with the same skill levels are matched up with each other, they both have an equal shot at winning. The algorithm used in ... Read more
