A fixes patch about one promise: what you earn, you keep. Brawl pods now pay out no matter how many guilds are left standing, and past rewards that slipped through are being paid. Mobile players stay signed in through their drafts, and a tournament or brawl pick can no longer cost you a ranked game you never saw.
Fixed
Every brawl pod pays out
A brawl pod that ended with fewer than three active guilds paid nothing at all: no placement, no Crown, no Merit finish bonus, and no results notice. That happened more often than it should have, because guilds that drop out of a pod during the season shrink it. Now every pod is placed and paid however many guilds remain, and a lone surviving guild takes first place and its own reward. Pods can also form with just two guilds.
Guilds that missed their rewards this way in earlier seasons are being paid now, based on each season's final standings, and they get the results notice they should have received at the time.
Stay signed in on mobile
Some mobile browsers forgot your login when they closed in the background. The draft page still looked signed in, but the picker stopped answering and the draft could forfeit. Your login now survives a browser restart for the length of your session. If your session does end, the picker tells you so and offers a sign-in button instead of going quiet.
Ranked waits for your tournament and brawl picks
If you were queued for ranked and then opened a tournament or brawl pick, the queue could still pair you, sometimes against an AI Trainer, in a ranked game you never saw. That game then forfeited as a rated loss. Your ranked ticket now holds while a tournament pick or brawl game is open, and picks back up once that pick is done. If you were about to be paired with someone in that moment, they keep their place in the queue.
No more pull-to-refresh while picking
On mobile, a downward swipe at the top of the Fighter grid in the team picker could trigger the browser's pull-to-refresh and reload the page mid-draft. The grid now keeps that swipe to itself, while it still scrolls normally. Thanks to the player who reported it on Discord.
Plus one cleanup under the hood. Thanks to every guild and player who flagged these, keep the reports coming in Discord.
Frequently asked
What changed in Patch 0.50.5?
Brawl pods now pay out however many guilds remain, past unpaid brawl rewards are being paid, mobile players stay signed in through their drafts, ranked tickets hold during tournament and brawl picks, and the Fighter grid no longer triggers pull-to-refresh on mobile.
My guild missed brawl rewards in an earlier season. Do we get them?
Yes. Pods that ended with fewer than three active guilds and paid nothing are being paid now, based on each season's final standings, and the guilds get their results notice.
Can a tournament or brawl pick still cost me a ranked game?
No. While a tournament pick or brawl game is open, your ranked ticket holds instead of pairing, and it picks back up once the pick is done.
