1. Share your highlight moment!
Now you can share replays with your friends or clan channel! By going to ‘RTTV > Details’ and hitting the share button, you can share any replays within the RTTV! To share your own match replays, you can go to ‘PROFILE > Summary > Match History’ then find the favored match to share.
2. Preseason 2 is about to start!
2017 Winter League is about to end on January 11. Commanders can check your current rank tier by going to ‘RANKED > Current Season’. The next season, Preseason 2, will start soon. During the Preseason, commander can warm up and try out some new strategies. The Preseason also gives the dev team more time to improve the game mechanics and balance.
The balance adjustments are based on tremendous match-up data. We’ve also analyzed the overall improvement according to players’ feedback. Balance adjustment is a long-term process, and sufficient amount of time is needed to make sure every adjustment is effective and reasonable. So please be patient and stay with us, our goal is to provide players with diverse strategies and better game experience.
