SYSTEM CHANGES
[h2]New Gameplay Rule[/h2]We’ve heard your feedback on this one. We’re reverting the "ability cooldown from striking the core" change that came with the Season 3 update. The original goal was to add additional gameplay depth by giving players the opportunity to make more dynamic decisions around what to do with the Core once they have possession. However, it’s become apparent that this new rule has negatively impacted game pacing and promoted some unhealthy play patterns. - Hitting the CORE with an ability will continue to reset your STRIKE cooldown (once per ability cast).
- Hitting the CORE with strike now reduces your ability cooldowns (Removed)
- We’re aware of the issue of not displaying which team is 1st pick in the draft order.
- We’re exploring some solutions to see if we can amend this in a future patch.
