When does ranked play start again
End of the month
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Wow that is so stupid. The off season is as long as the season? This game sucks dlck
Not really. The season came to an end, and then we got a balance patch. The break gives us 3 weeks (ish?) to iron out what works and what doesn’t for the upcoming season. It allows time for things to settle, as well as for any emergency tweaks (balance, bugs, etc) that might need to happen. If we were to simply hop from one to the next, people might start feeling a tad burnt out from it relatively quickly (some people feel pressured by such things).

7 weeks of season followed by 4 weeks of off-season sounds awful
I don’t think so, but that’s just my personal preference. The down time gives me breathing room to do other things, considering I’m not a “full time” pvper.

It’s an 8 week season with 4 weeks downtime for balance and season finale. No point starting the new season when the pro players haven’t finished yet and wouldn’t be able to compete anyway (Challenger cup etc).
Make new builds, try something different, see some sunlight. It’s downtime so there’s not burnout.

Haha touche sir. The sunlight part got me you right

Wtf are you on about. It gives you breathing room to do other things? Lol wtf? You realise you could just stop and start during a season and it doesnt matter. Its a terrible thing to remove your only competitive pvp mode for 4 weeks.

During the season, some people feel more pressured to play, due to the time limit involved. (Not everyone plays 8+ hours a day after all) They have the desire to push themselves as far as they absolutely can, which means time dedicated. As such, having an “off season” allows for those people to take a step back and “breathe.” It’s really not any different than a “normal” sport.

Unranked is still there. It’s still conquest. It’s still pvp. As for “competitive,” it’s no more or less so than ranked, due to how the season had been set up. You had just as many people in ranked that didn’t give a kitten whether they won (or where in fact, intentionally losing to manipulate the system). Without an active season, that wouldn’t change. So the only difference between unranked and ranked, at that point, would be maps available.
Please, stop making me chuckle.
