Update history
July 7, 2016 Patch #1 (Meet Your Match Update)
- Added Casual Mode to the game.
- Removed the abandonment penalty.
- Players are only required to have a single mode selected before queuing.
- Fixed a problem where in-progress games with open slots would not receive new players.
- Fixed a case where players would sometimes not receive experience (when playing a match to completion).
- Fixed not getting domination/revenge events.
- Added a feature to the game mode selection screen that allows players to play on specific maps.
- Added the Vote Kick option.
- Players that are kicked will receive partial experience after the match ends.
- Maps previously using the stopwatch timer will now play to completion, regardless of the first team's time.
- Matches can now start with fewer than 24 players when there are not enough compatible players in queue.
- The match will still add additional players (up to 24) as they become available.
- This should improve queue times for low-population regions and game modes.
- Added maps
