[2020] High MMR European Players Are Currently Being Held Captive By Well Known Cheaters Since Beta Released. Nobody Can Queue Unrated or Rated Because of it. They Can't Play the Game.

Yeah this sucked, we screwed up here.

The last 24 hours were rough for us because we've been in the process of migrating to a new ban system. Previously we had a temp-system that removed beta access (like revoking your beta drop) but as of today we have real bans.

During the migration some of our bans weren't sticking but now we should be good to go. These new real bans will also unlock some more sophisticated banning options for us (including expanding our use of hardware bans).

We had to choose between delaying the beta or starting without bans. It wasn't just bans though there have been a lot of areas where we weren't quite ready but I guess that's why it's a beta.
