There’s a little emblem-like indicator for Stomp’s lingering effect, yes. Still easy to miss, unfortunately.

And now they're back and fixed.

Yeah, there's a bug with the IKO styles here that we're working on fixing. They're currently disabled until we get that fix out.

Yup, anyone that paid should have that refund now.

Yup, you should have that refund now.

Yup, you should have that refund now.

And now refunds have gone out to anyone who paid the entry fee

Event's back up now, no entry fee as intended

Hey, this is a bug. We're on it. Event is currently disabled while we get this fixed.

Oh, that message is really unfortunate; it shouldn’t be showing up until after IKO is released. Short version: you’re fine, just wait a couple hours.

Longer version: If you have unspent orbs, you have the whole next set to spend them. THB orbs will be spendable until M21 comes out. There’s a brief window of ~4h before each set release where we need to turn off the pass to manage the switch. During that window you can’t spend them, but you’ll be able to once IKO is released.

Quests & weekly wins will replenish tomorrow when the new update drops.

Any older "Traditional Draft Tokens" (like the one from THB's Mastery Pass) will be turned into the "Player Draft" tokens described above, good for either flavor of player draft.

They’re “Player Draft” tokens now, good for either Bo1 or Bo3 player drafts (premier or traditional).

Credit goes to the team. My job is mostly about getting things out of their way so they can do the real work of pushing forward and making awesome things.

Players ask this a lot - We actually made Bo3 drafts ranked in closed beta and there was a lot of player pushback. Ranked drafts means ranked matchmaking means ~50/50 winrates for all players. Players that really valued their draft skill no longer had a place to turn that into extra winnings, and that made it feel much different than tabletop play (counter to the goals for our "traditional" mode). That's why we're leaving this mode unranked.

And we're back - Event now re-enabled, everything working properly. Thanks for bearing with us.

Yes, it looks like there’s one deck that has a problem. Matches between the other 2 decks are fine, but the queue gets full of the problem deck, since it can’t pair properly.

Thanks for the report. We’ve temporarily disabled this event while we fix things up. We hope to have it back available soon.

This is maybe my second-biggest "as a player" want for the game. And I'm also the jerk that has to keep pushing it further down the schedule. One day.

Good list; I especially appreciate the detail around why you want these things and the reasonable, friendly tone. Some quick thoughts:

01) Expanded comment selection - As others have pointed out, this needs to be carefully handled to avoid generating more annoying/spammy situations for players. We'd like to find a way to give the good parts without also bringing the bad. We feel like we've got a handle on that; you'll want to check out the State of the Game that drops in a few days.

02) Two more seconds - To do what you want (give the "Good game" response) we'd also have to hold an opponent that already conceded in the match for another two seconds. If a player concedes, they want out quickly and we don't want to get in the way there.

03) Allow us to friend opponents - As others have pointed out, in other games this is most often used for toxic, rather than friendly, reasons. We would like to deliver the good parts here, but absolutely don't want to inflic...
