Valve has updated the algorithm for selecting teammates and opponents in matchmaking at high ranks in Dota 2. Now Immortal level players will battle with users whose rating is not lower than Divine.

The developers also changed the selection system in group matchmaking. If a Divine level player starts a search in a group with lower rated users, this player will not end up in the same match as Immortal level players.

On October 10, Valve changed the group matchmaking system for high ranks. After that update, the search began by the highest rating among the players in the lobby, if the difference between them did not exceed 2 thousand points.

Subsequently, many e-sportsmen began to complain about long lines. Because of this, Valve temporarily rolled back the changes and added a post-match poll on the quality of player selection to Dota 2.
