Patch 1.6 (4 October 2012)

===New Playable Character: Skølldir===
After many feasts following many raids, Skølldir The Terrible Space Viking's nickname was altered to Skølldir The Terribly Overweight Space Viking. Nothing could scorn the brute more than this honorless title! Anyone who would dare to call him fat is met with a rapid series of crushing punches and is thrown aside.
Abilities:
Earthquake- Buttstomp the ground to start an eartquake which damages enemies in front of you in a line.
Mighty throw - Hurl your enemies backwards with this mighty throw.
Bash - Skølldir bashes his enemies to bits with a devastating 3 hit combo.
Explosive fart! - Jump and fart in mid-air to receive an extra boost!
Skolldir will come with a special Yogscast "Honeydew" skin. The Yogscast will reveal how to get the skin on their channel.

===General fixes: Major fixes===
* The ranking system has received a major overhaul:
* Your increase or decrease in rank after a match is now scaled by how long you’ve been a part of the match. If you join a match that has already been in progress for a long time, your change in rank will be relatively small.
* When calculating your new rank at the end of a match, the skill of all players that have ever participated in that match will be taken into account. Previously, the skill of people that have left before the end of a match were not a part of the calculation.
* The penalty for leaving a match is now equal to a loss of that match. Even if you unplug your PC and / or network cable, the leave penalty will still be applied. The loss in rank will not be scaled by how long you’ve been a part of the match, so it will always be preferable to play until the (bitter) end. 
* Split screen players used to count as if they had the same skill as bots, but now they will count as having the same skill as the main player. This fixes the major leaps in rank that split-screen players used to get.
* Because of all these big changes, the leaderboard and rankings of all players will be reset. Games played, win percentage and other leaderboard stats will not be reset.
* With all these changes there comes the risk of introducing new bugs into the ranking system, even though we have tested the new system extensively. If any major bugs are found we may reset the leaderboard again in a future patch.
===General Fixes: Minor fixes===
* Added extra platform near the base on AI Station 404, placed same platforms in Ribbit IV
* Improved crit chance calculation for various skills. Limiting the chance of multiple crits in a row and long streaks of non-crits.
* Fixed hiding of certain skills by shortly tapping the teleport to base button.
* On accepting a game invite the invitee will be placed in the team of the player that sent the invite if there is a free slot in that team.
