In a bid to keep pushing things in a better direction, the League balance team will be taking another look at several key elements of matchmaking, including red vs. blue side balance, how players are paired together (especially when it comes to skill levels), and how the queue treats returning players. All of these, the game’s balance boss Matt Leung-Harrison has explained, should optimize things.
