It’s been a couple months now with the game out. What’s everyone’s favorites hero’s to play as?

Mine are:

• Wraith
• Grey Talon (Even before the last patch)
• Kelvin

UTC +2 (Germany) is 18:00 - 20:00

Was interessted to try the new heroes and finally made my 50 games to only to be met with a time limited access.

Big update as always. I'm interested in seeing the new cel shading on characters.

Ranked Matchmaking Update:

• We have adjusted the matchmaking schedule to not be split across many different hours throughout the day, primarily to help address queue times. There will now be a wider continuous, but more concentrated, set of hours that it is enabled in. The schedule is now more simplified as well, as there is no more user selection component.

Update 2 from about half an hour ago:

• Ranked now has weekend specific hours (starts 5 hours earlier)
• Fixed some regions (South America, Oceania, Asia) that were off by 1-2 hours from their intended times

Why? Why not?

I don't care about the ranks themselves, but I am tempted to give it a go and see if it results in better matchmaking than standard play.
