    Not included in the headline: new players will now only be matched with other new players until they achieve 4 wins. I don’t think this patch will have completely solved matchmaking (since they already admitted last week that MMR was not working well and that wasn’t addressed) but I think stuff like this, the behaviour system and low priority queue will have a great impact that was sorely needed.

    “Sinners”? Really? That’s the puerile, patronizing term we’re going with, kids? Poorly thought out and poetically ironic, no less? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🖕🏽

    They nerfed the ALT button and I uninstalled it. They didn’t even add a toggle, they just decided using the extra info mode with your mouse is bad and removed it.

      It’s on tab. It’s not gone.

        That’s not extra info, that’s scoreboard. I wanted to use mouse with extra info mode

          Using the mouse there gives me the extra info I used to get when using Alt

            Extra Info (ALT) No longer enables cursor mode.

            Straight from the patch notes. Are you sure you’re actually talking aboutExtra Info and you didn’t just assume what the term means based on its meaning outside the game?

              It’s the info you get from using the mouse to hover over things on the screen.

              That patch note is saying they disabled cursor mode in Alt only. They did not disable it in tab. All of the items that appeared on Alt also appear on tab where the cursor is still enabled and you can see extra info by hovering over an object on the screen.

                TAB isn’t extra info, it’s scoreboard. I want mouse on extra info, mouse on scoreboard isn’t good enough. The UI is too cluttered.
