Roster Shuffling Temporarily Disabled

We’re going to be disabling the newly implemented roster shuffling until the next hotfix. Some players were experiencing issues with the system and we want to make sure we get everything completely ironed out before we bring it back online.

You may continue to participate in Solo Queue – it will match you the same way that it did prior to the update.

I’ll keep you guys updated.

Thanks!

Looks like we’re going to be bringing it back up before the hotfix.

Should be coming back online…..now!

Just curious, what was the issue people experienced?


If a player was invited or kicked from a roster while another player was in the process of joining, and the latency was high enough, the joining player would get information about those roster changes before they finished joining.

We had code in place that assumed getting roster information could only happen if you had already joined the roster. That assumption was apparently incorrect.

Hard to find, easy to fix.

You can thank Evan for finding and fixing it quickly.

Nice to see the random shake up (definitely noticing a difference). Still a bit of an issue though when u get 3-4 thieves on one team vs a well balanced team. Any chance of adding a little more criteria there?

Justin has been looking into adding additional parameters to solo queue like balancing professions between both teams. Every additional criteria we add increases the queue times, though. I don’t think we’ve decided on anything for sure, but we have been toying with the idea.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the changes.
