We'll be rolling out the 1.43.1a Hotfix at 10:50 (UTC).

*Some changes may not be applied to tooltips or Practice modes.

Ranked Match

While the average RP gained per round has increased by a small amount (2%), the average playtime for each game has increased by around 10%, resulting in an overall decrease in the ratio between time spent and RP.

Especially with the new changes this season, the average RP loss in lower placements has decreased, while higher placements now have decreased RP gain. As such, higher placements in games during Ranked Matches have become less satisfactory. To address the problem, we will increase RP reward from kills during the Opening Phase.

We will also continue to monitor how the new season changes affect gameplay patterns. This preseason, we recognized that the gameplay pattern has changed more drastically compared to previous seasons, and will make swift adjustments accordingly.

Opening Phase Kill Points

• 1st~4th: 2 → 3 Points

• 5th~8th: 2 Points (as-is)

The following changes will apply to all ranked matches that start after the 1.43.1a hotfix, but will not impact games that have started before the hotfix.
