Thank you to all players who reported issues with the game difficulty not feeling correct, after investigation we found that difficulty settings weren't always applied.
Starting matches after todays patch you should find that Beginner and Easy will now feel like a welcome step into the arena, and Brutal and Hard will be less considerate to the broken bones of your players.
We look forward to seeing your heated matches to become League Mode champion, in whichever difficulty you chose!
See you in the arena!
