LegionTD2 currently has two matchmaking modes: Ranked and Classic.
Ranked[]
Ranked requires four players in order to start a game, the matchmaking system will search for four players of similar skill levels. Legion TD 2 creates matches based on fairness, skill differences of players, time spent in the queue, and volume of players available. The longer it takes for the system to find the required number of players, the system will allow for a larger skill game between players. Legion TD 2 uses a win/loss rating system rather than performance-based(income, MVP, leaks, etc.) metric system. This is to reward players who play to win rather than just inflate their metrics in ways that could be potentially harmful to the game. The rating changes for winning and losing take this into account. If you play against stronger opponents you will gain more rating for a win and lose less rating if you lose.
After the game has concluded, the matchmaking system will award or deduct Elo relative to the size of the skill gap was expected between the two team (by taking the average Elo for each team). Amount of Elo won will always be visible, however you will not see numerical Elo losses unless you toggle a choice in Settings.
Leavers[]
If your teammate is disconnected for 2 or more waves and is not present at the end of the game or is disconnected for 4+ waves, you lose half the rating if you lose and gain the full amount if you win.
Ranked Tiers[]
Legion TD 2 has eleven total tiers of rank starting with unranked, and ending with legend. A player's rating determines what tier they are in. In Ascending order the tiers are as followed:
- Unranked
- Bronze
(1000+ rating) - Silver
(1200+ rating) - Gold
(1400+ rating) - Platinum(1600+ rating)
- Diamond(1800+ rating)
- Expert(2000+ rating)
- Master(2200+ rating)
- Senior Master(2400+ rating)
- Grandmaster(2600+ rating)
- Legend(2800+ rating)
New players start at 800 rating and automatically gain +40 rating per win for their first 20 ranked games, in addition to having doubled rating change from winning or losing. This helps new players and smurfs converge to their proper rating faster and helps ease new players into the ranked experience.
Rewards[]
Legion TD 2, like many other competitive games, has a seasons system. A new ranked season begins every 12 months were players have a "soft" reset of their rating to a lower rating. The first 10 games each season a player participates in has 2x rating changes. Your peak rating each season will determine your season rewards. After the season reaches completion, the player will receive a loading screen boarder and profile badge that will reflect their peak rating.
Classic[]
Since Classic requires eight players in order to start a game, the matchmaking system prioritizes finding the required number of players as fast as possible. It still aims to have the average of Elo of teach team be as close as possible, but rapidly widens its search range as time passes.
When the game starts, some players on the team with the lower average Elo might be given bonus starting income by the system in order to have a more fair match.
After the game has concluded, the matchmaking system will award or deduct Elo using a similar formula as with in Ranked, but the amount of Elo gained or lost will not be visible.
