Patch date: . Guide reviewed 2026-11-03. Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.
How this guide was prepared: AI-assisted analysis with a separate source-check pass against archived official notes. Practical decisions are reasoned suggestions, not player-tested results or measured win-rate evidence. A small hotfix receives a short guide rather than a reconstructed full build.
Original update sources
Recorded topics: See the original announcement. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Ranked matchmaking schedule
What changed: The schedule is no longer split across many hours throughout the day. Ranked matchmaking will instead be enabled during a wider, more concentrated continuous set of hours, and the user-selection component is removed. The change is primarily intended to help address queue times; the notes do not specify exact hours or promise a queue-time result.
How to adapt: Check the current in-game ranked schedule before planning sessions, since the notes do not give the enabled hours or explain what the removed selection controlled.
