I was masters last season along with my friend. When I go into solo/duo rank and try to duo with him, it says that are ranks are different. When I invited a silver though, they could join my duo and start a game. I'm masters and i can duo with a silver last season. Is there a bug? Why can't I duo with people my elo?
Nyaboron1 votesare either of you placed yet? Unranked counts as silver so if your friend had already placed and is platinum, for instance, you won't be able to play with him but you can duo with a bronze for all anyone cares until you get placed into a division.
Sukishoo2 votesNo, you shouldn't be able to ever do that even when not placed. This pre-season, I was Gold in solo and tried to duo with a bronze friend on 3s and it told me they had to at least be Silver 5. Back in season 4 I was also Gold in Solo and when season 5 started and I was in placements it would only allow for Silver or Gold duoing.
So it should only be allowing them to duo with someone that is at least one tier away from them, not several.
Nyaboron1 votespreseason carried over the ranks. It's not preseason anymore, have you logged in today? They reset the ladder and everyone starts unranked (which counts as silver for duo purposes)
Sukishoo2 votesDid you read anything I said? You shouldn't be able to do that, during placements you may have the MMR of a silver but it still looks at your previous ranking and should gate off people that are far from the rank. If it's not then it is not working as intended.

Sukishoo3 votesThat has nothing to do with this... good job.
Nyaboron1 votesoh lol, wrong forum.
It looks at your previous ranking for MMR in who it places you against, but when you're duoing it only looks at your current rank, which if you're unranked, is silver. That's how the system works like it or not. It's only 10 games so it doesn't matter too much one way or another.
Sukishoo2 votesNo it doesn't. Like I said, when season 5 started I still was ranked Gold in the mind of the system and couldn't duo with anyone under Silver. So if it's allowing people to do that like the OP said, it's not working as intended as it is still using your previous rank to make the match making fair when Duoing.
The Deckowner1 votesif one of you already finished placement while the other hasn't, then the system consider you guys different ranked. Is this the case?
