Positional matchmaking can help us make huge improvements to how fair games feel when you get autofilled or decide to challenge yourself in new ways. Occasional position swapping doesn’t have any effect, but repeated trading tightens the link, meaning you’ll get matched in harder games when playing off-positions. Solution: The MMRs for all your positions are linked together. You’re worried positional matchmaking can be abused. At first you’ll splash around -3 to your other positions, and that splashing scales up to around -15 if you’re supremely unlucky-or trolling, but we know you wouldn’t do that. The strength of splashing is determined by the number of losses out of the last X games. On the other hand, maybe you’re that same mid player and you’re on a losing streak trying to climb in top. Bear in mind, we’ll likely tune these numbers over time, but let’s talk about a couple examples of how this works: It works like it sounds: At the end of each game, you’ll splash some LP to your other positions based on your normal gains and losses for the position being splashed to. We’re adding a mechanic called splashing, which reinforces how every game reflects your skill while preventing abusers from ruining off-position games. We’ve been worried for a while that completely separate ranks make the system more grindy and create concerns about competitive intent-which is to say, some players won’t try as hard in off-position games. Position ranks and positional matchmaking promise to let you challenge yourself with fair games in off-positions without hurting the accuracy of your main. Splashing starts moderate (around +6/-3) and can become stronger when you win Autofill games or if it looks like you’re not taking off-position games seriously. Solution: Wins and losses in Ranked will splash LP to all other positions. You’re worried other players won’t take games seriously.

The changes we’re discussing today are aimed at making sure the system reflects both of these goals. At the same time, we heard an important piece of feedback from you that we agree with: Win or lose, every game reflects your skill and needs to matter regardless of the position or champion you’re playing.

We believe positional matchmaking and ranks can give you fairer games and meaningful ways to challenge yourself. Since then, we’ve been hard at work refining solutions to mitigate the biggest concerns you-and frankly, we-have about the experience. A couple weeks ago we recapped the feedback we heard from you on our initial announcement about updates we’re making to Ranked next year. Hey everyone! Ed “SapMagic” Altorfer, the lead for Ranked, back again.
