[RESOLVED] 1/16 Matchmaking Issues With Premades

RiotRiot Mr Sope··18 votes·22,134 views

[Update 1/16 6:16PM PST] We've found the issue to be related to one of the pre-made players only placing for season 2017 and not any other season. No exact ETA on fix yet, but hopefully that helps isolate your issue.

If you're looking to queue up and have additional questions, please see the FAQ: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/204010760-Ranked-Play-FAQ

NOTABLY, placements this season will take into account what you placed last season and does not default you to silver unless you were also unranked last season. TL;DR - Diamond is still diamond from last year and can't queue up with Silver.

Hi Guys -

We're noticing some players aren't able to get into game when they hit the Find Match button. Reports are saying that some pre-mades aren't allowed to match.

We're working on getting it resolved. If there are other match making issues where you can't get into game, let us know what they are and what exactly is happening. Thanks!

The fix was pushed out yesterday, but there are some cache flushes that are still happening with some accounts. All should be resolved this afternoon if it isn't fixed already for affected accounts.

Your MMR is a soft reset(Meaning that it moves down to allow the higher elo players that can't be placed above plat 1 to go down the ladder).

You cant, your rank from last season will determine if you can play your placements together

im not able to rank flex

brayden14572 votes

Is this going to affect my rank? because this happened on my 1/10 ranked game and if It drops my win/lose streak before I even get a chance to play that'll really put me off league for a while. it kicked me out of the game before it started up and told me my league client was repairing then my team voted remake.

The issue should be fully resolved now. If you're still experiencing it, try our support site. The tech guys there can look at your account and your duo queue's account and either troubleshoot or explain why it's not letting you guys play together.

Are you already placed or is it applying only to people who haven't completed placement games?

Smyxie1 votes

I am not placed.. and on our support site eune they told me that it is not fixed yet but they are working on it.. and that I have to wait ..

Real MVP2 votes

Happening to me as well. My friends and I all finished plat 5 last season in flex but it won't let me queue with anyone of them for it.

Real MVP2 votes

4 days into season still no fix...hopefully they can send a patch out tmrw so I can play this weekend.

Sendo Takeshi2 votes

"resolved" definitely NOT and when you ask the support for help they answer you with "we cant help" exdee

Real MVP2 votes

So what's riots plan here? Just ignore us and never fix this and hope we play our placements solo to get our rank back and fix it on our own?

I got plat when season ended and climbed up to diamond in preseason. My friend is also diamond but we can't duo together.

When is this going to be fixed?

We have leads on a fix, but we are still testing it. A fix is estimate to be pushed out sometime tomorrow.

I take it the fix was pushed back another day? EU here, so I'm morning for us and I suppose your work day is over, and hence no fix for today.

I mean, its Rito. If it is fixed by the weekend I would be surprised. I get breaks, but why is this shit happening when there is all of preseason to test this shit.

Your premate has to solo q his placements as his account is treated as silver until after placements. Sorry for the late info, at least im faster than rito.

Nice

Real MVP1 votes

After repeatedly nagging riot i finally got an answer. If you had an account violation that nullified your end of season rewards (border etc) then your account is treated as silver until after your placements. Basically, if your in the same boat as me you just gotta solo your placements to get your rank back before you can queue with your friends (assuming your friends are higher than gold).
