Riot Games lead gameplay designer Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison has hit out at League of Legends conspiracy theorists who believe a “losers queue” exists in the MOBA, telling people in no uncertain terms to work on improving their own play, both physically and mentally.
Phroxzon put to bed any claims that a loser’s queue existed in a Feb. 10 evening post to X (formerly Twitter), whereby if you began stringing losses together, you would be matched with worse teammates and your loss streak would continue. “We’re not intentionally putting bad players on your team to make you lose more,” he said emphatically, adding the matchmaking system matches players based on rating and rating alone.
