Priority

Priority is a status that determines how quickly the system will match you with other players. All players start at Normal priority by default.

Low Priority

Low priority is a penalty administered when:

• A player has abandoned a game multiple times.
• A player has been reported multiple times.
• The in-game griefing detection system notices a pattern of bad behavior (ruining games, feeding, AFK-ing, etc).
• Abandoning a low priority match results in a 20-minute matchmaking ban and counts as an abandon. Second abandon sets to 24 hour matchmaking ban.

Players in low priority will:

• Have longer than normal queue times.
• Only be able to queue for unranked Single Draft.
• Only play matches with other players in low priority.
• Not receive any item drops.
• Cause all players in party to enter low priority until they leave the party (They do not share the item drop penalty).
• Not receive Trophy points.
• Low Priroty games capped at 5.

Removal

• Low priority will be lifted after a set number of games are won.
• Low priority games must be won to count.

High Priority

High priority is granted when:

• A player is returned to queue after a recently failed matchmaking attempt.

Players in high priority will:

• Have a shorter queue time through higher search priority, depending on the amount of players currently in the match-making.
