Patch 6.18 is mainly focused on quality-of-life changes, but a few things have been changed too. New data centers were added in Europe and Japan, and the Data Center Travel feature has finally been enabled.

PvP enthusiasts will also be satisfied to see that some changes were introduced in Frontline, as well as a few balance changes, in addition to the launch of Season Two. New rewards can now be claimed using the Crystals won during the first ranked season.
