Rainbow Six Siege’s “Elo Glitch” is finally going to be fixed with new update

Ubisoft is finally releasing a hotfix to address Rainbow Six Siege‘s persisting “Elo Glitch”.

With the new Crimson Heist season, a new bug was introduced that involved players’ Ranked Matchmaking Rating (MMR). However, users, who were abusing this “Elo Glitch” system, will no longer be able to do that after today’s hotfix.

🛠Hotfix Maintenance🛠

We will be deploying a Hotfix today April 19th, which will aim to resolve the MMR exploit known in the community as the "ELO Glitch".

💻PC: 9am EDT / 1pm UTC
🎮Xbox: 10am EDT / 2pm UTC
🎮PlayStation: 11am EDT / 3pm UTC

⏲Estimated Downtime: 30 mins pic.twitter.com/VEWXmBQAUi

Siege players were using this exploit to affect the MMR gain/loss in Ranked matches. By leaving a ranked match at the start and then rejoining it, players were forcing the system to distribute irregular ‘elo’ or MMR to both the teams.

This means teams, who were using this glitch, would get much higher ‘elo’ after winning a match. On the other hand, the opponents would receive a much larger reduction in MMR after losing that match.

ELO Glitch will hopefully be addressed in a hotfix tomorrow morning, and we have some updates to match cancel functionality in 1.3 which is coming soon (should be able to test it on TS this week)

— Eric Pope (@MrPope) April 18, 2021

The Siege community was getting quite frustrated with the current Ranked mode, especially in higher ranks, where people are abusing the match-cancel feature, using ‘elo glitch’, and even hacking. But now, with the new hotfix, at least one of these issues will be solved.

Community Developer Eric Pope even stated that some further updates to the match-cancellation system would be made in Patch Y6S1.3, which is dropping on the PC Test Server soon.

The April 19th Hotfix will be deployed today at 1 PM UTC for PC and an hour and two later for Xbox and PlayStation, respectively.
