    • Fixed an issue that caused players to be unable to queue for Duos when the party leader was in a lower division.

      • Note: Hype was still being earned correctly, this was a visual issue only.
    • Fixed an issue where players in Duos were charged Bus Fare based on the party leaders division, rather than their own.
