Deadlock November 21 Patch Notes

Matchmaking Rework

Matchmaker Update

This update introduces a significant overhaul to the matchmaking system. The traditional division between normal and ranked modes has been eliminated, resulting in a unified primary matchmaking mode without time restrictions. This change aims to provide a more consistent and flexible gaming experience for all players.

MMR and Rank Adjustments

One of the key improvements is the immediate update of player badges upon significant MMR changes. This eliminates the previous delay and provides a more accurate reflection of a player’s current skill level. Additionally, the global MMR curve will be periodically adjusted to accommodate changes in the player population, cheater bans, and recalculations.

Hero-Specific MMR and Leaderboards

To enhance matchmaking accuracy, the system now incorporates Hero MMR. Each player will have a core MMR, and their MMR for specific heroes will be calculated as offsets from this core. This ensures that players are matched with opponents of similar skill levels for each hero they play. Leaderboards have also been introduced for each region, providing a competitive platform for players to track their progress and compare their skills with others.

Party Play and Match Quality

The update also introduces changes to party play. While parties of any size are now allowed, the system will adjust the potential MMR gain or loss based on the skill disparity within the party. This ensures fair matches and prevents high-skill players from dominating lower-skilled teammates. Additionally, the limit on high-MMR players in a party has been increased to three.

To maintain match quality, the system will prioritize matches with balanced skill levels and avoid low-quality matches, such as those occurring during off-peak hours. Players who prefer solo play can also opt to queue as such.

Additional Features

To further enhance the gaming experience, the update includes several new features. Players can now request lane swaps during the initial phase of the game, providing more flexibility in team strategies. Additionally, players can choose to be notified of rank-up events and view the average badge level of each team after the match.
