Why Is Competitive the Only Queue?

• We’re restricting to a single queue in order to get the best possible matchmaking. We chose Competitive because it helps us to get verification from all of you that the RR gains and rank promotions are all working as expected.

• While we understand that VAL is a very competitive game, let’s please keep it focused on everyone having a good experience. It’s okay if you want to play to win, but you should expect that some of your teammates may be more focused on testing something out.

Can the Store Rotate More Frequently?

• This is something that we discussed before launch but hadn’t made a final decision on. We’re absolutely aware of the feedback and considering it!

Can We Get an in-Game Bug Reporting Feature?

• One of the biggest problems we have struggled to solve is the raw volume of reports that we’d get from you all if we had that kind of system.

• One of the things that we love about using Reddit for bug reporting is that it’s easy for you all to see that other players are reporting your bug, leaving you free to add info to a thread or just give it an upvote.

• If we built a system that forwarded the bugs straight to us, you all wouldn’t be able to see each other’s reports, so we get a ton of duplicate reports. The obvious solution here is for us to build a bug reporting system that also allows players public access to see the bugs and upvote them, but this was a much bigger engineering effort than we were willing to invest in right away.

• It’s something we’re interested in having in the future, but we don’t have plans to build it, so for now, the subreddit is the best way to go. Thanks so much for your understanding!

Can You Add the PBE Patch Notes in a Panel In-Game?

• We’d really like to do that, but it is surprisingly complicated to get this working. It’s not something that we prioritized for the first deployment, but we are looking into it in the future. For the foreseeable future, we’ll just be using the subreddit to post these notes.
