NOE: What can you tell us about the differences between Ranked and Friendly matches online?
MI: “You will be able to actually play against friends in Friendly matches and against strangers in Ranked games. Friend Codes are only needed for setting up your Friends Roster. But right out of the box, you can jump into Ranked games and just starting challenging all comers, and climb the Leaderboard. This Leaderboard will be regional since we wanted to ensure a fast-paced, low-latency experience.”
Cool, no more friend codes!
