• Notice display when matchmaking search gets expanded / Adjustment of matchmaking standby time for MMR point.
  
  • We are aware that there is the inconvenience from matchmaking between a higher MMR point player team and a comparatively lower MMR point player team. And we are trying to find ways to bring better play experience.
    
  • From this update, expansion of searching range at both Quick Match and Competitive Match becomes visible for players. Also, MMR point gets more importance for skill-based matchmaking.
    
  • The importance of MMR point for matchmaking is adjusted because of the introduction of the new Dragon Tier at the Competitive Match. Also we found the expanded search sometimes faster than intended, so the searching time and range for expanded search is modified.
    
  • The adjustment will be monitored by NS Studio after the update. And continuous attention and improvement will be followed in order to check the adjustment works as the purpose and better matchmaking experience. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having your future ones.
