This is the first ever constructed multiplayer co-op lab. It's a 2v2 Lab in which players play individual 1v1s in a best of 3 format. Like with United Front, the player can either invite friends or be matched with another player online. This Lab was made available in patch 2.8.
Description[]
Queue with a teammate to fight a 2v2 match split into 1v1 games. Each player brings 3 of their own decks to choose from. The chosen decks can't share any champions. They will then each be given a random starting bonus, and have 5 minutes to each pick from a shared pool of 4 randomly selected decks from the 6 they chose to bring. Teammates can't pick the same deck. Players will then be split into 1v1 games, but can freely spectate, emote, and ping with their teammates. Every third round, players will receive supply drops to benefit their team.
If both players of a team win, they win the match. If one player on either side wins, one player, deck, and starting bonus is randomly chosen from each team to play a tiebreaker game. The player who wins this game will win the match for their team, and earn rewards to choose from. PENDING FOR TEST:
