The biggest laugh I get out of all of this is that they made the helmet have no repair costs. I mean, that'd be great except for one small problem.
PvP doesn't have repair costs. I'm seriously sitting here staring at this blog in disbelief.
Edit: to the guy above me, literally EVERY suggestion we made to improve ranked was listed in a post by Eric Musco with 'No.' underneath it.
Unless they've now decided that cross server queues, removing bolster from ranked, fixing the vote to kick system, standardising the ELO system and removing the possibility of having three of the same class in one arena are all no longer 'technically challenging' then competitive ranked competition is impossible.
