Season 6 has begun and we are bringing a few changes for it next week!
better matchmaking
A matchmaking timer will create more opportunity to find better matching opponents.
If you enter ranked mode and get a countdown, that means there is a player available that doesn't have the same division as you. The smaller the difference, the earlier you get matched up with them.
rank down buffer limited to division 8
It was possible to exploit the buffer that requires you to lose two times before going down a division for progressing through the ranks. This also generated an excess amount of points on the board.
To combat both of these issues, the buffer is now limited to division 8. Season 6 may last longer than the previous ones as a result.
community tournaments
There are several community tournaments lined up on multiple platforms, here are the ones played on Steam:
The Swingbait Special, a global tournament happening in a few hours.
The Blaze vs. LL1, a global tournament happening in a week - where the losers bracket is played in the first Lethal League game! It has a prize pool tied to the number of entrants and a player bounty.
And the Buntfest 2020 at the end of the month, a European tournament with a prize pool of 100€ and a bonus prize for the best corpse juggle during the tournament stream.
If you want to join any of the tournaments, they are all happening on discord:
