Could you elaborate on what you find large and small differences. I don't often play with Z00mm3rr so our elo tends to drift at times. So we've had times that our elo was about exactly the same and we had time we had about 150 elo difference. Is that still a small amount of elo range?

I can give exact numbers at this time, but yes, you're still in the range where you see some small benefits to Duo Queuing.

Lyte, do you think its possible for summoners with only two rune pages to be matched together? It's very limiting to a team when someone can only fulfill two roles proficiently.

Does this mean you'll possibly instigate a rule you can only duo queue with someone within a moderate range of yours?

Hi Lyte,

I meant if both players were above 1900 did they have a higher winrate than duo queuers below 1900.

I guess by your metrics and my question.. almost all people duo queueing over 1900 are within a 'small range' of each other. But not sure that entirely answers my question. Thank you either way.

Possibly. I'm working on some tweaks to how Duo-Queues are matched, and we'll see what happens with those changes first before considering Duo-Queue Elo range restrictions.
