Greetings PTS Players!
There is a new build going up on the PTS today, May 23rd! We estimate it should be completed by 12PM EST (4PM UTC). Please let us know what you think of these changes (and if you encounter any issues) here on the PTS forum.

Please note that this build is not representative of the final build coming in the next update. There may be further features added or shifted, and there may be additional PTS builds to test these & understanding is paramount.

Due to the small number of players on PTS, it is unlikely you will be able to queue for games; you can use the official Public Test Server forum to add your fellow PTS players to your friends list and organize matches.

Disclaimer: We appreciate you guys not copy+pasta these high-level patch notes or anything in this private space to any other forums. As again, these builds will change over time & we don't want to have to address these anywhere else as they will be evolving through builds here.
