Godsbane News

This is a small hotfix addressing the following bugs:

• Fixed a rare bug where players would connect to a match to find an empty board and are unable to play.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where sometimes player rating can drop below 0.
  

[h2]General[/h2]

• The 1 mana winner bonus has been removed. This is in an effort to make matches more even and not too one-sided.
  
  
• Significantly reduced the punishment for losing to a player with a much lower rank than you. You will also gain more rank points for winning against a lower ranked player.
