Plunderstorm Practice Mode Added in Patch 11.0.7

Plunderstorm is back in Patch 11.0.7, with a brand new Practice Mode to help you find your feet in the 60 player Battle Royale! Although not yet testable on the PTR, we can see the new mode alongside Solo and Duo play, which will presumably allow players to familiarize themselves with the game mode's unique controls and interface. Plunderstorm now features a practice mode, though queuing as a team of three is no longer available.
