So many good news in this update. One slight bump I've noticed - Bo3 are still not ranked, for no real reason. Why? Overall a lot of good news, can't wait for Thursday.
Players ask this a lot - We actually made Bo3 drafts ranked in closed beta and there was a lot of player pushback. Ranked drafts means ranked matchmaking means ~50/50 winrates for all players. Players that really valued their draft skill no longer had a place to turn that into extra winnings, and that made it feel much different than tabletop play (counter to the goals for our "traditional" mode). That's why we're leaving this mode unranked.
