Blizzard has posted today's hotfixes which includes adjusting MMR in Plunderstorm so players should find themselves in better matches.
Hotfixes March 21, 2024Plunderstorm - Player matchmaking ratings (MMR) have been adjusted so that players should find themselves in better matches with continued play.
- Fixed a bug that caused plunder dropped by players on death to unintentionally despawn when the killed player left the match.
- Players are now immune to knockbacks when standing near Da’kash Grimledger in the preparation area.
- Adjusted experience gained when playing Duos and fixed a bug that was increasing experience gain at level 3.
- Fire Whirl Movement speed bonus reduced to 70% across all ranks (was 140%).
Developers’ notes: Our goal is to balance Fire Whirl’s effectiveness relative to the performance of other offensive spells without detracting from the effectiveness of other utility spells.
Star Bomb cast time reduced to 2 seconds across all ranks (was 2.25 seconds).
- Developers’ notes: We’d like to improve the effectiveness of this ability.
Toxic Smackerel cooldown reduced at ranks 1, 2, and 3.
