• [p]All players have played a total of 34,399,855 hours worth of games, which, if converted to years, is nearly 4,000 years.[/p][/*]
• [p]We have released a total of 56 patches, carried out 10 major updates, including 4 season updates.[/p][/*]
• [p]We have added 7 brand-new units, 3 new specialists, 5 new variants, and completely reworked 3 old units.[/p][/*]
• [p]During this year, we made changes to every single unit, among which the most frequently changed were Arclight, Overlord, and Tarantula (all more than 10 times), and the least changed were Melting Point and Hacker (both only once).[/p][/*]

Casual Mode

• [p]Before searching for a new match, players can now choose one of the two matchmaking modes: Casual or Ranked.[/p][/*]
• [p]Players who choose casual matchmaking will neither lose nor gain MMR, but can still earn Combat Power and season rewards.[/p][/*]

• [p]Similar to games like StarCraft II, players in both the casual and ranked modes share the same matchmaking queue, and past research has shown that this does not significantly lead to MMR inflation.[/p][/*]
• [p]For players ranked among the top 200 on the global Combat Power leaderboard, although you will not lose MMR in casual mode, you may still lose Combat Power.[/p][/*]
• [p]In 2v2 battles, solo players without a premade team will not be able to use the Casual Mode during matchmaking at this time. We will change this in a subsequent update during Season 5.[/p][/*]
