What are your thoughts? Concerns? Hesitations? Things to get excited about?
New operator: Ram [3armor 1speed] Gadget - Death roombas that destroy soft walls and floors
Grim Buff: Kawan launcher can now be set to an alt fire that makes hives bounce off walls before deploying
Fuze Buff: Fuze charges can now be deployed on deployable and talon shields
Lesion Nerf/Buff: Gu mines are no longer cloaked, cannot be hacked by Brava, do 5 initial damage and 12 damage per second
Frost Nerf: trapped attackers can self-revive at the cost of a massive debuff that prevents sprinting and leaves a blood trail (coming mid-season)
Quick Match/Unranked Changes: Quick Match now has sites pre-set-up for defenders, and attackers cannot be killed for a short period while approaching the building. Unranked has been renamed to Standard, no longer has the pick/ban phase, and now has only 1 overtime round.
Player Commendation System: Post-match you can commend 2 of your 4 teammates in 1 of 3 categories to say that you appreciated them as a teammate. It won’t affect player reputation yet but will likely in a later season.
Tower gets a face-droop: Cosmetic rework that makes it look more like a battleground.
I’m more on board with this Frost nerf than I was when it was first announced, though I still think it’s a bad change overall. It seems to support the TDM meta since it reduces reliance on team coordination
I think Quick Match 2.0 is not nearly as big a deal as people are making it out to be. Unranked will just be the new quick match, and QM2 will just be like a training mode
