General Matchmaking Changes in For Honor 1.17
- Reputation relaxation parameters will be updated with more reputation buckets. The objective with this is to have better granularity regarding Reputation Matchmaking. (i.e. this should give players more accurate matchups before relaxing to all buckets)
- Skill values for Matchmaking will be rebalanced. This concerns all unranked modes. Your first matches after this change are applied are likely to match you against a wider variety of players than you would normally expect for your skill level. During this short period the Skill Comparison on the Face Off screen will be inaccurate as well. After these first few (10-20) matches the system will realign you to your proper Skill rating. The objective of this rebalancing is to allow people returning to the game after some time away to not find themselves steamrolled in matches with much more skilled players.
Ranked Dominion Updates

BATTLE front:

Matchmaking Update for Dominion Ranked Qualifier Matches.
