Hi all, with the new client, queuing for 1v1 actually starts a lobby where players can see each other and their ratings and change maps and game options before starting. As with a normal lobby, both players need to ready up before the game starts.
Obviously, while some players will be cooperative, other players will just match-dodge if they see an opponent they don't to face, or refuse to ready up unless the game settings are changed to their liking. Was this done intentionally for the roll-out of the new ICE client? Anyway, it would be great to have have the ranked queue changed back to the way it was, thanks!
Also, thanks to the devs for working at improving game connectivity and stability: much appreciated!
