Added a rate limiter to the in-game weapon store to keep players from spamming purchases in quick succession, which caused a potential performance issue.At the end of an Act, your final leaderboard rank will be preserved and displayed on the Act Rank Badge you earned.

Your current leaderboard rank will now display on your Career: Act Rank tab.Diamond 3 will essentially become the final proving grounds for Immortal+. This will prevent 5-stacking just before Immortal, and prepare Diamond 3 players for what they are about to get into. We want to maintain the prestige of Immortal+, and believe we need a small buffer to ensure players are proving their skill before getting into Immortal.While we value and want to support those of you able to play and compete with your friends as much as possible, we also want to ensure there is a high degree of trust and competitive integrity for players who make it onto the Leaderboard.We needed “proving grounds” before getting into Immortal, and this should prepare players for the leaderboard and create a 5-stack buffer before Immortal.Changed Diamond 3 to a premade size capped at 2 players.They will now more quickly rank up so that their rank better reflects their skill (along with getting put into higher skilled matches). Consider this another system that helps combat the smurfs who do real well in a game.Remember, this is you doing better than your average, not you doing better than your teammates or opponents. In turn, you will rank up just a little faster, and be rewarded for games where you kill it. This will help highlight those matches where you “outclassed” your average performance.We want to reward players that “pop-off” in a match, performing above expectations.Players Iron through Diamond who perform exceptionally well in a match (weighed against their own average performance) will gain bonus Rank Rating.By doubling the effectiveness of convergence, players on the extreme ends might see 40+ Ranked Rating gains, pushing them to their proper rank faster. We wanted to be a little conservative launching the new ranked system, but believe in some cases you were having to play too many games to reach your intended rank. This will help everyone get to a rank/Leaderboard Rank that best illustrates their skill more quickly.This will make it so players get to the rank they deserve in fewer matches.Increased the effectiveness or Rank Rating convergence: players will now converge to their match making rating (MMR) faster, requiring less games to prove their rank.
