A recently discovered US patent application submitted by Riot Games looks to take a leaf from DotA 2’s “Low Priority Queue”, also known as Prison Island, in a bit to combat in-game toxicity. However whereas DotA’s system works to quarantine toxic players with each other, Riot’s proposed patent would instead look to reward positive players with improved matchmaking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The patent seems to detail a system that is configured to matchmake players based on a profile commendation database “…wherein the user matching system is configured to match the first user with another user based at least in part on the behavioural data in the first user’s profile.”<\/p>\n

To put it more plainly: Riot is looking to patent a system that matches players, at least in part, on their in-game behaviour.<\/p>\n

This comes in the wake of a company-wide focus on dealing with negative in-game behaviour, such as with the recent Code of Conduct for Valorant players<\/a>.<\/p>\n
