League of Legends V9.16[]
Client[]
- Honor
- Honor 5 capsule will contain a random emote or ward skin, as well as an Honor 5 token you can redeem for , , or one of the two new chromas if you already own the base skin. You don't need to own both skins before being able to pick a chroma for a skin you own.
- This season only, your Honor 5 capsule will contain two Honor 5 tokens because we promised you two chromas this season, not one.
- If you hit Honor 5 before 9.16 and already owned both and prior to getting your capsule, we'll add your two Honor 5 tokens directly to your account during patch 9.16.
- Changes made to give high MMR players closer games with longer queue times. The average high MMR game got slightly better, but in the worst cases, teams are 1-2 divisions worth of MMR closer to each other (which means a better match).
- We've also seen skill within a team get closer. In an average high mmr game, the lowest rated player is about half a division closer to the rest of the team than before, and in the worst cases, they're 2-3 divisions worth of MMR closer.
- This also resulted in longer waits for games, though less than we would have expected. Seems like increases of 30 seconds on the low end to an extra 5 minutes on the high end.
- We're going to keep making tweaks to make matchmaking better. At this point, teams are close enough that we think we'll get more improvements by focusing on Autofill.
- Queues are a bit longer but lowest player should be 0.5 - 3 divisions closer to the highest than before.
- Ranked
- Losing a game at 0 LP in Grandmaster or Challenger now demotes you to Diamond 1 with 75, 50, or 0 LP based on whether your MMR is higher than the Master cutoff, between the Master and Diamond 1 cutoffs, or lower than the Diamond 1 cutoff. Previously it demoted to Master, 0 LP.
