Ranked and Gameplay Adjustments

Anti-Cheat Update
As part of ongoing efforts to maintain fair play, a new detection model was rolled out in early October to track third-party bot activity.
“In just two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned. The majority were on Windows PC (71%) and Switch (21%).”
The detection rollout led to an initial spike in identified bot activity, confirming the system’s effectiveness, followed by a steady decline as bans were enforced.
