The heroes of Order and the champions of Destruction have but one goal: take control of the Mourkain Temple, once and for all!

Realm versus Realm
Ranked Scenarios
The tiers in Ranked Solo are using a new system, instead of the two tiers being RR1-69 and RR70+.
All new characters will start in the lower tier. If you have played at least 15 matches and have an MMR of 1450 or higher, you will move up to the higher tier.
To stay in the higher tier you will need to maintain an MMR of above 1450. But after switching tier, you can't switch again until you have played at least 10 matches in your new tier.
The initial tiers of all characters will be set based on the matches played and MMR in Preseason 2.
When a new season starts, your MMR will be reset, but you will stay in your previous tier, until you have played at least 15 matches in the new season.

Bug Fixes
Reverted the removal of IsMounted conditional for sending pet in to attack, stay, autocast, and back off.
User Interface
Ranked Leaderboard
A new interface for Ranked Scenarios has been added. Open it with the medal icon near your minimap, or with the /leaderboard command.
For each week that has passed in a Ranked Season, you need to have played at least 5 games to earn a placement on the leaderboard. This interface will tell you how many more matches are needed to reach that. The Ranked Preseason 2 has been going on for far too long, so the requirement is currently 105 matches, but once Season 2 actually starts it will be easier for more players to reach this requirement.
