• New mechanic: N.O.S.E. 2.0 - 1 April 2026

  As part of our ongoing efforts to increase match pacing and reduce the dominance of overly passive playstyles, we’re bringing back a fan-favorite corrective system: Neutralization Of Static Engagements (N.O.S.E.) for another round of testing, alongside our new groundbreaking technology: Wide-ranging Inactivity Guard (W.I.G.). If a player avoids active engagement for too long and prefers to remain on the defensive, their character will automatically receive a clown nose and wig — visual indicators designed to apply moderate psychological pressure and gently encourage a shift toward a more proactive strategy. These mechanics activate automatically and require no additional input from the player. We believe that N.O.S.E. and W.I.G. will make gameplay fairer, more balanced, and more spectacular.Full list of changes in today’s update:- New mechanics: N.O.S.E. & W.I.G.;- Basic attacks no long…
