Duo Queue Teammate Finder That Works In Real Time

ActionTaker·May 25, 2015·28 votes·20,587 views

DuoQ.net - League of Legends Duo Queue Teammate Finder

Why? Because playing alone sucks!

I've created a duo queue teammate finder over the past few months. It allows you to find players:

to duo queue with
who match your skill level
in real time

https://www.duoq.net

After a successful beta test with more than 400 players I submitted the app to Riot Games and it was promptly approved for a production API key.

Currently the app is limited to EUW & NA but you can vote for the regions that I should add next: http://strawpoll.me/4451764

Feedback is strongly welcome :)

This is really cool/impressive, I feel like I'm gonna use this a lot in the future <3

Also, I'd like to suggest a "report" feature; I imagine as this gets more popular there are bound to be people who get partners that flame or have a very negative attitude. If the player is reported constantly maybe put a warning next to their name.

EDIT:There doesn't seem to be a way to cancel a pending chat request, doesn't seem important though

EDIT#2:Some people might want to play Ranked, and some might want to play Normals, and some might want to play different maps, there should be a way to check off the Maps and Modes you want to play

Thank you for your feedback!

A report feature will be added very soon.
I don't think this is really necessary.
I've wanted to keep it simple for the launch but I agree that there should be more options. However, I will wait until the number of active users online has stabilized. Otherwise, fewer matches will occur. Great idea though!

I notice a lot of my skill matches want to play the exact same role I selected, maybe have a way to limit that? If I que for Jungle it shouldn't try matching me entirely with other people who want to jungle. If I put say ADC it should list primarily Supports, and vice versa.

Also it is trying to match me with Diamond players on this account which is Bronze 2, I know my mmr is higher than my rank but doesnt change the fact I can't que with them :P

Once it locates players, you can type in "Support" or desired role of your partner to "limit" the search results. I would also suggest adding those higher tier players for either advance, encouragement, or possibly duoing with after you climb.

love it <3

Testing the app today. Added one person so far. Chatting with another. I'm interested to see how the "skill" of each player is calculated.

Congratulations!! Great site!!

I guess you can check after a match if someone actually played with the people you suggested. In that case, ask for if they want to give them a +1, and I'd show the +1s/(total matches) percentage in the result. No -1 in order not to bring negativity to the system, there is just no need

Thank you for your feedback!

That is an awesome idea! I also like the idea of positive reinforcement vs useless negativity.

Added to the feature list :)

It would be helpful if players who declined invites are removed from the duo queue search. Possibly add a decline history to those who signed up for an account/email.

ActionTakerMay 27, 20151 votes

Thank you for your feedback! Do you mean a feature that would remove those players from future searches as well?

Yes. Future searches or for that " search session." (While actively logged in and not idle on the site.)

Haven't tried it yet, just commenting to make sure it only matches you with division you can actually play with, if you're playing ranked. A bronze player can't play with a platinum player (unless I'm remembering incorrectly) so they shouldn't show up.

great site will use it

Sometimes it won't let me accept/decline people and also send a chat invite which is little frustrating it only happens once you send on invite out.

ActionTakerMay 26, 20151 votes

Do you receive any feedback at all? It might take a second or two to accept or decline an invite.

ShadowCuberMay 26, 20151 votes

I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, what would happened is when I click on one it would do the black out (click) animation and just return to normal, even after multiple minutes of waiting nothing changed. 6 hours later its working perfectly fine now so yeah just a heads up. Apart from that this is a brilliant idea and work you have done.

MalaceXMay 25, 20151 votes

One concern I've noticed. I think the chat function needs a popup or sound notification when someone accepts or responses in chat.

ActionTakerMay 26, 20153 votes

Thank you for your feedback! This is something that I'm definitely considering for a future update.

MalaceXMay 25, 20151 votes

When you leave a chat, it refreshes/clears the invites list on the right.

ActionTakerMay 26, 20153 votes

Thank you for your feedback! Clear as in it removes invites that you have not accepted/declined? It should only reset the status of the player you have been chatting with.

Clear as in it removes the list of pending/declined responses under the "Invites" section.

When the player is sent an invite to chat, do they have any clue that I am looking for a duo partner or are they merely accepting the invite of a stranger if/when they are online?

ActionTakerMay 26, 20152 votes

Thank you for your feedback! I think that most players are looking for duo queue partners. Of course, since this is really new some players are only trying it out for fun.

ActionTakerMay 26, 20152 votes

Thank you for your feedback! What kind of message was being displayed when that happened? I'm constantly monitoring server load and so far nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

He was referring to Riot's servers. Not the duoqueue.net app/site.

I did not even look at the game while the site was going live :D LeeSin
