Some tweaks to the matchmaking system in League of Legends were were getting matched with players who weren’t even close to level

Matchmaking is the existing automated process in League of Legends that matches a player to and against other players in games. The system estimates how good a player is based on whom the player beats and to whom the player loses. It knows pre-made teams are an advantage, so it gives pre-made teams tougher opponents than if each player had queued alone or other premades of a similar total skill level Riot Games Inc.

The basic concept is that the system over time understands how strong of a player you are, and attempts to place you in games with people of the same strength. As much as possible, the game tries to create matches that are a coin flip between players who are about the same skill. The Matchmaking System works along with a modified version of the Elo system. From there, the game is played. If a player wins, the player gain points. On the contrary, if the player loses, he loses points.

If the win was “unexpected” i. There are some problems with this, but it generally works out, especially if people use pre-mades a little bit.
