The 7.22h Gameplay Update has been released https://dota2.com/patches/7.22h

We are working on a few fixes to improve matchmaking quality and expect to have it out later this coming week.

Check out our latest Matchmaking Update http://blog.dota2.com/2019/10/continuing-matchmaking-updates/

The Game Coordinator is temporarily offline while it finishes processing the update.

The party mmr peak change will only be active for Immortal ranks in the near future, until we can measure if it is sufficient on its own. We also fixed a couple of matchmaking bugs that made queue times too quick.

We are aware of matchmaking queue times taking a very long time and are working on improving it. We may need to slightly relax a few of the new quality settings for the weekend and then we'll continue tightening things on Monday.

As part of our ongoing matchmaking work, today's update includes two changes for players in the Immortal rank: https://store.steampowered.com/news/55280/

The Treasure of Twilight Procession is now available, featuring all-new item sets for Tidehunter, Shadow Demon, Slardar, Jakiro, Storm Spirit, Viper, and Faceless Void — plus the chance for a rare Clinkz set or very rare Dark Willow set. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHhaaO5UUAABx7K.jpg

Fast Queue Update http://blog.dota2.com/2019/11/fast-queue/

Available for a limited time only, the Treasure of the Timeless Rite features 22 vintage item sets specially selected from popular items no longer available in the Dota 2 store — on sale now until Monday, November 11 for $1.99. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EIuz247UcAIDMYc.png

While we are still working on Matchmaking, we wanted to share with you some preliminary stats from the most recent update. Players are now seeing average Fast Queue times of 1:20, however 1.31% of Fast Queue players are still taking more than 10 minutes.

For solo players that queue for just Mid in the Fast Queue the average is 2:30, with 2.69% still taking more than 10 minutes. Let us know how the games go this weekend.

@Makeval_et We'll look into this, thanks.
