Here’s the full notes for League’s Patch 10.7.

Premade balance in ranked

  • Riot has been working on some matchmaking improvements like Autofill Balance to make sure that each game of League feels as fair as possible.
  • With this follow-up change, Riot is attempting to make sure that when one team in a Solo/Duo game has a duo, the other team should have one as well.
  • This change will only be applying to Ranked Solo/Duo for right now. Riot will be looking into adding it to Flex and Normal games, but since premade can be of all different sizes in those modes, making them equivalent across teams can be much more complicated.
