Will the open beta affect the role queue SRs when the real season starts?

[LOLOSHANE-1304]

I want to be able to experiment with some different heroes in the new role queue ranked beta, but don’t want to affect my SR moving forward. Specifically, I’m a tank main and want to play a lot of Sigma in the beta, but I probably will suck with him at first, and am wondering if the SR once beta ends is going to be based on the beta games.

The Role Queue Beta is for testing purposes. The results of this two-week season will not stay in your career profile and will not influence your Competitive Hidden Matchmaking rating when season 18 begins.

EDIT/UPDATE: This later part is incorrect and was clarified by the development team.

@ScottMercer

The results of your matches in the Role Queue Beta are not being thrown out and will be used by the matchmaking systems to help determine your skill in season 18.

What the blog post was trying to explain is that the Role Queue Beta season’s stats in your player profile will only be available for a limited time, and they will not be added to your career competitive totals that you can see when you choose “ALL COMPETITIVE SEASONS” in your career stats.

Thank you! That’s a relief
