The whole squad has a 75% reduction to RR gains and losses due to rank disparity. Let’s walk through a couple examples of these:Ĥ of your party members are Immortal and one of your friends is Diamond 2. Your expected queue times may vary greatly, and could increase dramatically as you will wait indefinitely for another 5-stack of similar MMR to play against.Īt minimum, a 50% RR reduction will be applied to all 5-stacks including a member from these ranks, and this amount can increase to 90% as the disparity in skill increases. If one or more members of your group are Diamond 3 and above:

Your team will be given a 75% RR reduction as a result. Now the skill disparity has increased to 4 ranks outside of the standard grouping restrictions. In the same group, you have 1 team member leave, and bring in your other friend who is Bronze 1. Your team will be given a 50% RR reduction because the highest and lowest members are 1 rank outside the standard group restrictions. The lowest team member is Silver 1 and the highest is Platinum 1. Let’s walk through a couple example cases: The amount that your RR is adjusted depends on the rank disparity within the group. Rank Rating gains and losses will be reduced when playing in a 5 stack outside of our current rank restrictions rules. You can expect increased queue times as we will only matchmake your team against another 5 stack of similar average MMR.

If everyone in your group is Diamond 2 and below: Matthew Le, Valorant Competitive Producer These types of groups tend to leave the remaining solo queue player with a relatively poor play experience, and we believe that removing this option will result in a significant reduction of overall toxicity reports. In implementing this change, we’re also adjusting the ruleset for these types of groups in order to mitigate against competitive integrity issues that wide skill disparity groups could cause.Īlongside the 5-stack changes, we are also removing 4-stacks from the Competitive queue. Removing these boundaries for 5-stacks specifically, means that you can play with your friends regardless of the restrictions that exist for smaller party sizes in Competitive Queue. Our data has shown that the most common reason that players smurf, is because they want to play with their friends outside the bounds of our current ranked restrictions. In an effort to reduce smurfing, we’re removing all ranked restrictions from 5-stack parties in Competitive Queue.

#RADIANT VALORANT UPDATE#
I will update the data periodically, so we will have an idea on how the rank distribution evolves over time, and if there is any change. The statistics in the graphs and the tables below consider all the competitive games in any region. There are several websites that gather and share these data, and after examining the most reliable ones, I concluded that there are almost no differences among their tools. Finally, Riot released their API for Valorant, so starting from December 2020 I will provide official rank data based on the whole player base.
