Starting in patch 13.2 we'll be testing a change to the surrender rules for Normals (Blind and Draft). Teams will be able to pass a surrender vote with 4/5 yes votes starting at 15 minutes. The early unanimous surrender will be removed.

Our data shows that comeback rates when a team fails a 4/5 yes early surrender (before 20 min) are low; teams have a generally good sense of what a "winnable" game is. However it's important that opponents have time to feel powerful with a lead and games aren't abandoned too soon

Since I just answered a DM about it: net negative LP gains (lose more for loss than gain for win) are a really bad experience but prevent inflation (holding a rank higher than your MMR). Increasing LP gains/loss made people hit this state faster. Would like to make this hurt less

On visible rank influence in matchmaking: it was originally to increase perception of match quality, for example folks would ask "Why is this Silver in my Gold game?". They were in your game because they similar MMR to yours, which could be for any number of reasons: 1/3

LP gain/loss amounts should now be normal for ranked games in NA/BR/LAN/LAS. There are no plans to change season end timing because the error was net favorable to climbs, and for high ranks some folks are counting on the end timing for decay or to hold their ladder spot.

Rank Fact Friday! We do not matchmake off visible rank, but MMR. MMR has a range at which you can perform, we call it Variance. So while one player could be just out of placements, you could be 40 games in, but both of your Variances have MMR overlap so you get matched together.
