- Players are then given 30 seconds to choose their Legend.
- Once Legends have been selected, the banner will display “Ready for Rematch.” Players will stay at the Legend select screen until all players are locked in. A countdown will start once everyone has confirmed, and the rematch will begin.
- Any players that fail to lock in by the end of the allotted time will be assigned whichever loadout they last chose.
Additionally, players in Friendly 2v2 can now rematch in Patch 7.00. Matchmaking queues with rematch enabled now include Ranked 1v1, Ranked 2v2, Experimental, and Friendly 2v2. Rematches are still a best of three. Happy brawling!

- The lobby will still change to the updated Rules if you were invited to a lobby type other than what you just played.
User Interface
- When looking through the Title selection menu in your Inventory, each Title now previews its own color.
Sound
