Matchmaking
- Matchmaking will much now more heavily prefer players close to your rating. For players with high ratings this will mean a smaller pool of opponents to match against initially - but this will hopefully improve as ratings are brought closer together by the increased competition.
- Note: round starts are laggy due to this change, improvements are coming
- Decreased amount of arena rating gain/loss per game (to encourage experimentation a bit more without getting as huge swings in rating)
