DQ Matchmaking Explained with an Algorithm
I will explain how matchmaking works with Dynamic Queue and Champion Select as simplistic as possible.
As a Solo player
- Pick Role
- Queue
- Do players have similar ELO to you? If No, go back to 2.
- Are found players queuing roles you are not? If no, go back to 2.
- Match 10 players of similar ELO together.
- Pick Champ and Play.
As a Premade of various amount of members
- Pick Role
- Queue
- Do players have similar ELO to you? If no, go back to 2.
- Do players have similar ELO to your party members? If no, go back to 2.
- Are players with similar ELO in a premade? If no, go back to 2. Skip to 6 after certain amount of tries.
- If cannot find premades with similar ELO, fill gaps with Solo players of similar ELO.
- Match 10 players of various sizes and similar ELO together.
- Pick Champ and Play.
