  • From this update, expansion of searching range at both Quick Match and Competitive Match becomes visible for players. Also, MMR point gets more importance for skill-based matchmaking.
    
  • The importance of MMR point for matchmaking is adjusted because of the introduction of the new Dragon Tier at the Competitive Match. Also we found the expanded search sometimes faster than intended, so the searching time and range for expanded search is modified.
