Another season comes to an end, with the new ranked system bringing more diversity to the ladder than ever before. The Ultramarines received a well deserved nerf last season, but the changes seem to have punished them excessively. This balance update focuses on improving the performance of the sons of Guilliman, while tuning down the most oppressive strategies across the rest of the factions.
This update will go live soon. Be prepared by taking a look at the complete list of changes:
