When queued as a party, the Storm League matchmaker will look for matches based solely on the highest player's MMR in the upcoming patch to prevent Master/GM boosting.
(Source)
Since there was no mention of changes to Storm League in the PTR Patch Notes, I felt forced to create this thread. Storm League has been in an absolutely unacceptable state for months now and there is no sign of acknowledgement or reaction by the Devs until now.
At least a dozen accounts in EU Grandmaster were boosted by stacking with lower MMR smurfs to their rank and who knows how many more boosted accounts are below that. At one point during this season even the top 3 GMs in EU were all boosted accounts with insanely high winrates (85%+).
This has "inspired" more and more players to do the same and if nothing happens the ladder will soon be overrun by boosted players and smurfs if it isn't already. This is a problem that occurs probably at all ranks but it's the most glaring in Master and GM.
The new season hasn't started yet and there is still time to try to fix things. Make Masters duo only again (solo would be ideal but I guess compromises have to be made) and put a point restriction between the two duo partners (3-5k points difference at max).
Don't let the Ranked system be a complete joke and restore at least a bit of integrity.
Good afternoon Reddit friends,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it)! Your concerns about this are not falling on def ears, and we have something planned for the next patch: When queued as a party, Storm League will now look for matches based solely on the highest player's MMR.
While we know that this isn't a 'silver bullet' fix for all types of account smurfing, it should help make trying to climb the leaderboard feel more fair for both parties and individuals.
Have a wonderful day ?
