Matchmaking 10/10

Were you the 6 solo or the 6 stack? Cuz usually the solo players are higher SR than the stack in order to “balance” it out.

@pyah-11375

But usually it’s just 6 friends who happen to be on at the same time and the matchmaker gives up and puts them against 6 higher SR soloQ players.

This is no longer true.

@ScottMercer

Group size doesn’t matter for the purposes of calculating expected win chance for a game, what matters is the SR of the players on each team. Since grouping status doesn’t change the expected win chance, it doesn’t affect the amount of SR change you experience after a win or loss.

Sure seems like it. I never go on wild loss streaks in soloQ. Very tight 200-300 SR spread from my peak to my rock bottom each season but on my grouping account where I duo or trio we’ll have days where we lose 10+ games in a row. That’s literally never happened on my soloQ account.

That is more a comment on the people you are grouping with (and your lack of synergy with them) than the matchmaker.

There’s one guy in particular who hits high master on his own too but when we duo even on low diamond accounts we can go on 5+ game loss streaks
