2v2 Matchmaking will launch on ShieldBattery on Thursday, Dec 16 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). We'll get the update pushed before then, so if you log in before that time, you can start queueing as soon as the time hits. We've also picked our initial map pool, seen below. This is a first pass, attempting to balance classic 2v2 maps with some additional newer picks, and we'll definitely be iterating on these choices in the future. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/mhdXM47.jpg) I've tried to answer (what I think will be) the common questions below, but if you have any others feel free to ask! FAQs Can I queue with a pre-arranged team? Yes, ShieldBattery will support finding a partner through matchmaking, as well as queuing as a party (parties are a new feature added in this update!). Both ways queue you into the same pool of players, so it's still possible to play against a party as a solo player, or vice versa (but we do attempt to account for advantages a party may have). Is there a ladder for 2v2? Yes, the ladder system will work similarly to the 1v1 system. Each player will have their own individual rating, and ratings will be adjusted individually at the end of each match. We've attempted to prevent common problems with such a system, such as queueing with much lower-rated players to get easier games and boost your rank, but we'll need to collect some real data to see how well that's working. So, bear with us! It's possible in the future that we can also provide team-based rankings for players that play together frequently, depending on what people prefer. How does map selection work? Map selection will work similarly to 1v1: we have a pool of 7 maps, and you have 3 vetoes. Unlike in 1v1, it's possible for the entire pool to get vetoed here, so a veto doesn't guarantee you won't ever have to play on a map, but it does decrease the likelihood. What turn-rate will games use? Games will use dynamic turn-rate through our custom regionally distributed servers, which is the same as our 1v1 matchmaking currently functions. This should generally be no worse than what you'd experience on Blizzard's servers, and in some cases will be better. Improving the netcode substantially is the next big piece of work we're undertaking after this launch, so stay tuned for more updates around this. | ||

thank you so much for everything you do!! i hope shieldbattery takes off, and i hope a centralized server located in korea could help migrate the entire player base from SCR to SB. blizzard ladder has so many cheaters right now it's crippling the game. from S all the way to the bottom of F, the game is almost entirely map hackers and smurfs. | ||
