Matchmaking (CASUAL / RANKED)
- The search widens faster. The rating window now grows every 5 seconds (+/-150, then +/-300, then +/-600) and is removed after 15 seconds, down from 10 / 20 / 30 seconds before.
- From 15 seconds on, the search also looks for lobbies worldwide instead of only nearby regions, so you can still find an opponent when your own region is quiet.
- Nothing changes about who you are matched with in the first 15 seconds: close-rated players in nearby regions are still tried first.
No gameplay or balance changes. Replays remain compatible.
