While things got a bit vitriolic at times, we do wanna thank everyone for the feedback they gave on regression prior to these changes. At the end of the day we’re just 6 guys trying to do as right by as many people as we can, and while we’re not always gonna release a perfect decision with perfect execution every time, we’re always going to at the very least listen to you guys and do what we can to make things right. Thank you for your patience over the last few days as we discussed these changes!
In addition to these changes, I’ve already said this before, but we do fully intend on tackling the FHM knowledge gap and shortening the season’s total length, which are both things that have been in discussion since the start of the season. I’ll have more information on both in this season’s State of the Union, which is coming in the near future!
