Existing ratings won't be affected as the update only applies to future matches.

FACEIT Rating Changelog:
🔸Reduced weighting for low-impact post-plant and exit kills
🔸Refined swing distribution to reward round-deciding kills
🔸Improved distribution in bomb plant scenarios to reward players who secured the round
