Hey all!
New ranked season starts this month with a new algorithm. It's faster than last month, so you should be able to grind up to your true average sooner. The way it works now is that after each match, the game will slightly shift you towards Trophies*1000. So if you earn 8 trophies, it'll shift you towards 8000. Good luck!
The other main change is to Mirror Image. It was very bullet spongey in the recent tournament, and not that fun to fight against. So now it has less health, but more damage, and a reworked mutation.
Have fun!
