The fact it isn't even acknowledged in the known issues section is weird.

I can acknowledge that we know about it and are working on it.
Just know that episode 2 was incredibly underwhelming.
It’s been tough for us to make big changes balance-wise with Master’s going on until recently. The next two patches will be quite significant, though!
We waited a whole month for a patch full of nothing
We have a lot of changes going on in the 3.0 patch. The tough thing is, a lot of them interact with each other, so we need ALL of them ready to be worth shipping together. For example, let’s say we’re adjusting an agent’s number of charges on an ability as well as the cost of that ability. But, we’re also updating the weapon/ability economy pretty substantially. Shipping one of those in 2.11 and the other in 3.0 is kinda needlessly disruptive, and they’ve been tuned as a bundle internally; it’d make that agent just feel really weird for 2.11 or require us to shake up their costs again for the second patch in a row on 3.0 to feel correct. We’d like to avoid patterns like that if we can.
TL;DR is that we know it’s a bit disappointing to have empty updates like this, but we think it’ll lead to a better overall experience. 3.0 and 3.1 have a good clip of changes in them!
genuine question: when are there no tournaments happening? i dont keep up w the scene but it feels like for a large chunk of this year something big was going on and u guys couldn't do much balance wise, take viper rework for example. do u plan to address that and eventually not rely so much on there being nothing happening or will this always be the case? sry if i came off rude, it really wasn't my intention.
Not rude at all! There are tournaments going on all the time, to the point where we can't consider all of them. VCT series and Master's are feasible for us to schedule around, though.
Fix the teammate volume issue. Please.
I dont want to mute my teammates when they aren't being rude but I value my hearing more than their callouts.
Its kind of ridiculous a big this major has been in the game for this long. Please don't be like the LoL team and just leave bugs in the game for months / years.
Sorry, this isn't an area that I personally work in (I just do core gameplay). All I can do is forward it to that team! I'm hoping it gets resolved quickly too.
I had a question about this. I heard from people (maybe for other games?) that pros who play during Masters play on a separate client. So it shouldn't be an issue to add new things to the game, and just have the pros play on older versions of the game.
Is it simply because you guys are busy that you can't do big changes balance-wise or?
They use a separate client for Masters itself, but still practice and play solo queue on live. We also want to try to keep the live game and pro games in similar versions of the game - having pros play "pre-nerf" or "pre-buff" content is always a bit of a bummer since the game they're playing just isn't representative of live.
I've gone into it more in other comments, but the tl;dr is that a lot of the 3.0 changes are more systemic, and we wanted to bundle them together for the best experience. We originally were going to space them over 2.11 and 3.0, but felt consolidating them would be better overall.
Yeah thats all I'm hoping for is talking to Rioters gets the message across...
This bug is literally game breaking in certain lobbies. Its rough out there right now. Thanks for doing what you can. Game is amazing btw, this is my only complaint with it. 👍
I appreciate it, keep letting us know. We care about getting this stuff fixed too, I know it's frustrating. Sorry we haven't been as good on the comms front for this one!
