I hope it fixes the 120+ minute queue times I get for solo blind pick on Dominion. After 1600 games of it I still refuse to smurf and ruin low level games, and I keep premaking to an absolute minimum.

It would be nice to be able to set a range for your queue to tell it how long you're willing to wait, cause I'd totally just tell it to match me in a variance of 1k right off the bat instead of waiting for 2 hours for the matchmaker to slowly do this. I really don't care who I get matched with or against, or even if I'm versus a premade -- I just want to play more Dominion.

P.S. Dominion needs a queue dodge penalty really really really badly.

can u share what changes will be in future, i realy have hope that it should be big change because we realy need a lot improvements right now.

i might stay if this changes will realy important, so i hope its realy big deal.

Perhaps in the mean time you can share some amusing anecdotes?

Lyte, any news about the normal draft mode and premades? before the darius patch a red said that fix is not implemented yet because it was bugged...

The next patch has this fix. Sorry it took so long!

Cool! Thanks Broseidon!

I am writing a new FAQ for matchmaking, since I often see the same questions raised again and again. Could you guys help me with which questions you want answered in the new FAQ?

how does matchmaking work?

Pre-made ranked 5's teams: How do you determine the picking order of each team?

I played several matches the other day with a group, and every single game, we picked in the same order. But it wasn't the order in which we joined the the pre-made lobby. I was stuck picking 2nd the whole time, but wanted to be 4th or 5th (was playing top and wanted to have the best chance to see their top so I could counter-pick if possible).

We even did a whole new set of invites after the first couple games to try to fix it, but we still were picking in the same order.

Could you guys either make it so the order you join the pre-made lobby is the picking order? Or better yet, let player re-arrange themselves in the lobby so they are in the order they want and thus wouldn't even need to coordinate who accepts the game invite and when?

When i'm playing some rankeds on my lower elo acc *shifting between 1k/1.2k* i see unreal diffrences between players.
Matchmaking a 350win ranked player with a new player first/second time playing ranked, who only just got level 30 and wants to try out ranked. Hell breaks lose i tell u that...
The diffrence between allot of players on lower elo games are so insanely big. That it really is a problem, and it actually can hold people back from their (true)elo if the person keeps getting unlucky matchmakings.

Really hoping this issue gets a bit more attention.
