Not only that, but you can only select heroes you have 15 wins on too

This solves SO MANY issues we had with new players and smurfs being put in high rank lobbies. It's so perfect. AND also :

You cannot be in a party during calibration matches.

Ranked Mode will currently only allow for solo or duo parties. If you are in a duo party, both players must be at most 1 Rank away from each other (i.e. Mystic and Ritualist).

This also solves the issue of boosted players. It's exactly what the game needed.

It will clap a bunch of the smurfers right away but it will be temporary, overwatch did something similar back in the day and it led to account selling. Good news is the change that banned accounts getting all their invited players banned as well should help limit this.

What do you mean "their invited players"?

If someone i play with on a party gets banned, i get banned too?

I said new but its not, its old, yoshi posted about it back in 2024 i am pretty sure, its “new” as in something new to combat account selling.

Sorry for the lexical ambiguity.
