Hi all,

We just released an update where once matched, you now have 30 seconds to accept your match before being placed in the game, similar to how matchmaking works in the CS:GO client.

With this, we're also taking a first stab at reducing queue dodging. Any dodging of games once accepted will result in a 30% penalty, 15% of which is taken by Kickback, and 15% of which goes to your opponent. This includes failure to connect and leaving matches halfway through.
