Season Reset: The soft resets we did this year might have been a little too soft. We're taking a closer look at what decay does for our players and tweaking the system to ensure even fairer matchmaking over the entire season. However, that clock may be ticking too quickly and pushing players into places where they really don’t belong. In some regions, autofill rates in popular roles like top and mid were brought to almost 0%.Īpex Decay: At high MMRs (Master tier and above), decay rates have long functioned like timers ticking away to keep the best of the best at the edge of their game. We saw autofill reduced to less than 2% of games in almost every region. Time to game (from queue start to match start) stayed the same or improved in every region. Overall match quality improved, with less than one division of skill difference between teams for 99% of games. New accounts were ranked much more evenly and effectively. In October, Cody “Riot Codebear” Germain, Product Lead for Competitive Gameplay on League of Legends, summarized the Season 2021 highlights and what to expect from the next one.
