Summary
Ranked Matchmaking Test
Respawn has initiated a matchmaking test aimed at creating tighter skill bands in Ranked lobbies. For the duration of this test, players are restricted to forming premade squads with teammates within one Ranked tier of their own position, a decrease from the previous two-tier limit. This test is intended to improve match fairness and will remain active until the split ends on June 23rd.
