The Tower Rests… For Now

Hey everyone! 

We deeply appreciate each and every one of you that hopped on over this past weekend to help us test solo-queue Ranked Ascension. It wasn’t a smooth ride: from longer queue times to matchmaking that felt unbalanced within teams, and even some bugs – known and undiscovered – that surfaced during our playtest. That’s exactly why we run these tests, and we’re so grateful to everyone who stuck it out and told us what worked and what didn’t. That feedback is already shaping what’s next for Ranked. 

As for this week, we’re not running a weekend playtest. Instead, we’re working through Ranked feedback, and taking a beat to prepare for Gamescom. Rob Pardo and Min Kim will be there talking about Arkheron and what we’ve been cooking up behind the scenes. 

We're also continuing to chip away at .22. Nothing to share yet, but some of what's in it is a direct response to what you ran into this past weekend. We can’t wait to show you the changes.

Even though we’re not running queues this weekend, you can always play Customs, Bots, and Learning Spires anytime. Join our Discord to find other players and Custom matches!

Stay tuned for more!
