@aaronkellerOW We are so back!

The Stadium Ranked Queue will be disabled for about one hour while the change rolls out. More details about this decision coming in next week's Director's Take. Thanks again for all the feedback — we’re always listening.

We’ve been listening to your feedback on Ranked Stadium’s format since Season 19 launched, and we agree — the switch to Best of 5 hasn’t felt quite right. Starting tomorrow (10/30), Ranked Stadium is returning to Best of 7.

@aaronkellerOW Having played multiple rounds I appreciate what was attempted but it has led to removing part of what was so good about stadium. Everything feels rushed with less time to enjoy your build. More than Mirroring this deserves a revert.

With Season 19, Stadium Competitive will shift to a Best of 5 format. Our goal is to shorten match length while preserving the depth and decision-making that define the mode. We want every round to feel meaningful and help players get to the fun faster.

@aaronkellerOW I'll try it, but best of 5 was already right there in Quick Play for anyone who wanted it. I do have to ask, as well, why are we still drafting when teams can mirror? Surely that's just pure advantage for the team with the final pick now?

@MrChom Destiny wasn't the lowest point. G Saviour still holds that title...

Twitters not only full of right wing assholes and racists, it's also full of some of the worst Gundam opinions I've ever seen. Why do I get served this slop?

@Lustriga @Stasisesque @leedscastleuk Congrats to the both of you.

Yesterday we did a thing #mrandmrs @Stasisesque @leedscastleuk

I wish rage baiting didn't make people money

@Standbyfortitan I think it's doing some interesting stuff with the synths, and it's keeping up being a good old-fashioned creature feature. I'd give it a solid A- so far. You are right though, we do need new SciFi IP....but that's always true.

@MrChom I mean it's not bad, but it isn't amazing either. Could really do with some new IP's in Sci-Fi.

Whilst I'm enjoying Alien Earth, they could have just done a movie based on the ship- an extended episode 5- and I'd have been satisfied. I don't really care about the Prodigy Corp story line, or the hybrid characters. The Maginot crew were far more interesting.

@Standbyfortitan I'd disagree....fundamentally it follows the same arc. Sure, you're putting different characters in there but it's the same format of: Weyland Yutani demands aliens, humans get aliens, humans get dumb, alien gets humans, one human and the the main alien survive.

@MrChom We saw truckers in space, this was significantly different with the other specimens wrecking havoc- and a sabotage plot. Alien- Earth, has not really added anything to the universe yet- just another evil corpo, storyline that is moving rapidly towards David levels of silly.

Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

@peterkyle Because of the overly broad definition of "harm" of course this also means the new cohort of 16-17 year old voters at the next general election are likely to have at least some issues that may be important to them become unavailable to view. Maybe something to reconsider.

This is what the Act you would scrap makes platforms do: • Detect and remove horrific child sexual abuse material, using hash-matching. • Prevent grooming and stop strange adults messaging kids. • Keep children’s profiles and locations hidden. • Stop kids seeing porn.

@peterkyle @BBCBreakfast My choice to use a VPN for my personal use of the internet is a neutral act for a child's safety...but a positive step for my own data security. Framing it otherwise could be said to be more than a little misleading.

These Online Safety Act protections are the biggest step forward in child safety since the internet was created. My words on @BBCBreakfast this morning 📷

@peterkyle To dismiss the many technical and privacy reasons behind disliking the OSA as "being on the side of predators" says to me that you have not fully considered the impact of the legislation, which would be concerning for an Innovation and Tech secretary.

If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that.

@Standbyfortitan Wing and 0083 as mid, and the Netflix Gundam as Bad? That's burn the heretic territory for me.

This is quite possibly the worst Tier list I've ever seen.

@RichardENDeane @Elite_Cadre @SteamforgedLtd I still really do not get on with that Jakes pose. Hardly a disaster, but likely my least favourite Cygnar model of the new batch.
