Ranked Improvements
We’ve been monitoring the global servers throughout the season and have been gathering a lot of feedback. With the soft resets being strengthened this season, we think this as an opportunity to implement some substantial changes for the NA/EU regions, aiming to start with a relatively clean slate.
The changes we’ll implement at the start of the season are as follows:
Diamond players will no longer be matched with Gold players.
Myth+ players will now only be matched with players up to Diamond 2.
Additionally, we’ll be making adjustments to normal games in the SA region based on player feedback:
New players will now enter lobbies with fewer bots after playing fewer games.
The minimum number of non-bot teams in normal lobbies for new players has been increased.
We recognize that these changes may impact queue times, but we believe it’s worth trying to improve match quality this season. If any issues arise, please provide feedback, and we’ll make further adjustments in upcoming patches. Premade groups in Diamond are also scheduled to be added as the season progresses and Meteorite stabilizes. However, for global servers, we'll monitor how the matchmaking evolves before deciding whether to implement this change.

Available from Day 3 → Day 2
This was incorrectly announced in the 1.29 Update; the correct information is that this item is available starting from Day 2.
Based on player feedback we received during preseason, we will be enhancing notifications for Lumi's functions and status while also adjusting its value in the late game to prevent it from becoming overly beneficial.
Chat Notification Improvements: Lumi's store items will be automatically announced in the chat in the Briefing Room. Additionally, chat messages will be improved for greater clarity and intuitiveness. (Scheduled for 1.30 Update)
Increased Revival Time: Revival through Lumi will take slightly longer compared to regular revivals. (Scheduled for 1.30 Update)
Path Display: Pressing a designated key on the Expanded Map (M) will highlight Lumi's path and current location. (Scheduled for 1.31/1.32 Update)
Exit: When Lumi can no longer provide the revival function, it will leave the game via the Hyperloop and return to the Research Center. (Scheduled for 1.31/1.32 Update)
Cubes
During the pre-season, Cubes appeared far too frequently despite having excessively high value. We have reduced both the value and spawn rate of Cubes, which we believe will lessen their overall impact on the game.
Cubes were introduced to enhance individual roles within team games. However, with various gameplay elements being added simultaneously during the pre-season, the frequency and effects of Cube spawns have led to an overload of information.
The first batch of Cubes will still give teams that acquire them an advantage during the Night 1/Day 2 phase. However, to ensure that teams that don't obtain a Cube don't feel like to big of an disadvantage, we’re slightly lowering Cube values overall. When the Cube respawns on the Night 3, only the Prosperity Cube will appear, providing a minor objective that underperforming teams can try and contest. This change reduces the need to focus on Cube effects multiple times in a single game.
Additionally, we plan to enhance the visual effects of Cubes that currently offer only stat increases, making them more visually impactful in the mid-season update. In the future, acquiring Cubes will also require interaction, rather than simply walking over them.
Cube Spawn Probability Changes
Prosperity Cube will not spawn on the first spawn.
Each of the other cube types has a 25% probability of spawning: Sanguine / Galaxy / Essence / Zephyr.
Only the Prosperity Cube will spawn during the Night 3 Respawn.
First Spawn: 30s after the start of Night 1 → 25s after the start of Night 1
Sanguine Cube
Cooldown 4s → 6s
Zephyr Cube
Movement Speed Increase 0.12 → 0.1

Gadgets
We're lowering the probability of Mutants dropping Kiosk Remotes and Special Materials when hunted.
