No information / updates on it other then that it is the next main patch being pushed out. It has been declared multiple times that 1.6 is the patch which is supposed to focus on Ranked Mode. Ranked seasons might begin, or maybe they're changing up Ranked first to test it... and then begin seasons further along.

There was some confusion a couple months ago where a moderator said 1.6 wouldn't have new roles but the community manager said there should be. No solid confirmation on anything though.
