^ Correcto! From last night's stream, it doesn't sound like the new roles will be necessarily added in right at 1.6.0. Definitely doesn't sound like Elo will reset at 1.6.0 but rather further along the 1.6 patch. I think 1.6 will start off by changing the Ranked role list.

Actually... thinking back on new roles... They would likely announce the PTR (Public Test Realm) to be open before releasing roles into the live game, so that may be the first we hear about whatever will be new.
