There is no algorithm or rng here: if you join a queue with a 2000 in it, you will play a 2000.

BUT the rng does defines the player colors in a match, not the players that are in it. like you have a 1500 and a 2000, if one of them is black and if one of them is white, but who is black and who is white? thats when rng comes in. (unless it is a rematch)And since this is teams, opposites are teammates, and the 2000s got to be oppposites/teammates

...or they just invited their partner so that regardless of what color they get their partner will be their partner? Unless you're @LazyImp or @jessezafirakos, you usually won't see 2000+ players joining an open queue without an invited partner as they are scared that they might get a 1500 noob partner that won't follow their arrows. And yes, this is the sad truth of today's 4pc community. I'm not trying to stereotype or anything, because I know a lot of 1500s that play exceptionally well for their rating, but generally as you get stronger you don't want to lose because of your teammate and 7 times out of 10 you get a 1500 partner who either doesn't care about learning from a higher rated player or just wants to try things for themselves. Long story short, in most cases, if you see two 2000+ rated players against you, there's a high likelihood that one of them invited the other to the game and this didn't just happen by luck.
ok then, just one question, does it work on test servers? the regular ones were in repair when the match started, and i did not find the invite button (probably my lack of attention to stuff).
oof it happened again
opponents rated 1993 and 2054 this time, me 1544 and partner 1586
Yes, they probably invited each other
When you go to the lobby and select a teams queue to join, there is a green invite button that looks like two people next to each other and a "+" symbol next to it:
That is the button for inviting a partner to a game.
look at the player ratings in the following teams game:
notice that the rating differences between teams is big? because my team's highest rated (me) is 1567, while opponent team's lowest rated (yellow) is 2092, a 525 point difference! (calculator might have been used) Anyways, in my opinion this is just bad matchmaking rng luck, and this problem is probably rare enough to ignore. Do any of you have opinions on this?
