Season 3 PvP Adjustments

I’ve updated the OP here. I had percentages on the gem. Correctly:

• Mind Quickening Gem now provides 100 Haste Rating (was 330).

Season 3 will begin with the weekly reset the week of January 24.

Looking back at Season 2, we’ve analyzed the queue data and found that some queue times are taking longer than we’d like to see. To address this, in Season 3:

• The range of possible opponents will be expanded. This will help match players of different matchmaking levels more quickly. As before, teams with similar ratings who queue at the same will be prioritized to match against each other.

Additionally, we’re making the following changes:

• Mind Quickening Gem now provides 10% Haste Rating (was 33%).
• Starting with Season 3, the following items won’t be allowed inside Arenas:
  • Nigh-Invulnerability Belt
  • Net-o-Matic Projector
  • Dazzling Longsword
  • Silent Fang
  • Skull of Impending Doom
