Latest Fixes and Adjustments - 04/14/2026

Hey all, we have just released an update with the following changes! 

✅FIXED:

• Catalyst's Toxic Empress skin now has the appropriate glow visual effects, in-match
• Valkyrie's jetpack handles are no longer missing in specific scenarios
• Fuse's Knuckle Cluster holder is now properly displayed
• Wattson players will no longer hear Hardlight rebuilding and being destroyed as a result of her tactical/ultimate placement in the ring
• Game stability improvements on the Switch 2

We are also making the following changes to matchmaking in an effort to provide the best possible match quality for players:

🛠️ADJUSTED:

• We are increasing maximum queue times slightly for players at the higher end of Ranked and pubs. Our goal is tighter skill bands and more competitive games across the board.
• For Drop Zone Ranked matches, we will be displaying Ranked tier distribution charts of squads, not individual players consistent with non-Drop Zone lobbies.

📋TESTING:

• We are testing a 4 hour Ranked map rotation schedule in East Asia for the rest of the split. *We do not recommend changing servers as it will result in much higher ping.
