Sparrow’s archer vibes and Pathfinder’s buffs should shake up the meta nicely, though I’m low-key more hyped for Arenas making a comeback. The new ranked ladder sounds like a solid way to keep sweats grinding, but those layoffs definitely cast a shadow over the hype.

Explosive arrows on the Bocek bow Sounds like Respawn’s giving players a taste of chaos while keeping things fresh with Sparrow’s kit. Shame about the layoffs though—hope the team’s passion still shines through in the season’s polish.
