- Patch 1.007 - 18 December 2015
- Premade Friend splitting when searching fixed (when friends hit search together, often they were breaking up with the message "unable to join game full". We've fixed this, there are still a few other scenarios that happen much less frequently where teams breakup, we're focusing on those next) - Implimented a system to ban players, along with several bans. You guys are a great community, there have only been a few bad apples this free week (if you need to report a player for harassment or cheating, please email [email protected], please include screenshots, videos etc so we can take a look at the details)
