To be totally honest, we’re not 100% sure yet. Since this is the first season we’ll have splits, our plan is to try some things and adjust based on your feedback.

Here’s our current thinking: For players, splits create natural breakpoints where you can set new goals, earn new rewards, or jump back into Ranked. For us, they’re a pretty good opportunity to make necessary changes to the game. That doesn’t mean you should expect to see large changes every split, but generally speaking if we need to make changes that could be a bit disruptive, we’ll try to do it around the beginning of a split and then mostly stick to smaller-scale changes for the rest of the time.

We’ll continue to use Preseason as an important period of downtime to set the foundation for the following year, so that’s when you can still expect to see the largest changes to the game.
