====Resolved in this Hotfix====
Fixed an issue that prevented some players from joining games through matchmaking, resulting in a “Leaving matchmaking…” message.
Thank you for your patience if you were affected by this issue. Any players logging in during Season 7 will receive an additional 3 Season Points as a log-in reward. (The game interface might not show them right away even though they have been awarded).
