Normal Matchmaking System:
With this update, players will experience improvements to the matchmaking system of regular matches to make it work better depending on the players’ matchmaking rating (MMR). Previously, the matchmaking system was based on the average MMR of a player’s pre-prepared group. But matchmaking will now be based on the highest MMR in a player’s group. The goal is to focus on individual statistics rather than a team as a whole, while maintaining the game mechanics of the current squad.
