Hey all!

This version tweaks skill drafting to make GSA play more like a roguelite.

The goal is to reduce repetitive matches by reducing the control we have over our builds. For example, the guaranteed skill now only appears in 33% of matches. This affects all players equally, and still lets us choose and use our favourite - but not every game. Most games we need to adapt to the draft and piece together a smart build as we play, which raises the skill ceiling.

Speaking of skill ceilings, it just got even higher! This is because in ranked mode rounds 1 and 2 now give +1 trophy each. This means that if you manage to win all 3 rounds you can get 12 trophies instead of 10, letting skillful players climb the ranks extra fast.

Next version will rework the perks system into a classes system, making it far easier to switch playstyles between games.

Enjoy!
----
--- GENERAL CHANGES ---

- Added a reconnect button. This appears above the play button in purple, and lets you rejoin the last server you were in (useful if you d/c).

- If you leave a duos/squads server mid-game and rejoin, the server will try and put you back onto the old squad.

- Improved visual feedback whenever you hit an enemy by making their outline briefly flash white.


--- GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---

- The draft now only shows 2 skill options instead of 3.

- The guaranteed skill now only appears in 33% of matches.

- When you get a bonus skill point, this now jumps from level 0 to 2 instead of 1 to 3.

- All skill values have been rescaled slightly, so that levels 1 and 2 are a bit weaker, 3 is the same, and 4 is extra powerful.

- Level 4 skills now appear at levels 7/10/13/16/etc.

- Skill builds now require 15 skills instead of 12 (5 actives and 10 passives). If you had existing builds below 15, ring 1 skills will be automatically added to them (but you can change them of course).

- The victors of rounds 1 and 2 get +1 trophy instead of bonus health. This brings the max trophies you can earn per match up to 12.

- Expanded the size of red zone slightly to reduce player density in showdowns.

- Rare loot crates are now more likely to fall out in the open instead of in parkour spots.


--- WEAPON CHANGES ---

- Grenades do +5 damage

- Molotovs do +5 damage


--- NEW SKILL ---
