• Rotating Game Mode: Odyssey: Extraction, the new PvE game mode, is still available from September 12th, 2018, to October 9, 2018 (11:59 p.m. PT).

Profile page

• In preparation for the 2019 ranked changes and the return of Clash, the profile page design has been revamped. A couple of the profile icons will remain empty for a while, but that should change soon.

Normal Draft matchmaking

• Also in preparation for Ranked 2019, we're now previewing positional matchmaking in Normal Draft only.
• This means you'll be matched based on the position you were assigned instead of just having one rating in the background.
• This should make matchmaking better across the board, and tangibly better when playing secondary and autofilled games.
• We're also testing position detection, which determines what position you actually played on the end of game screen.
