At the start of each round, players are assigned to the four lanes randomly. ~~Two~~ lanes will be duo lanes and two will be solo lanes. The specific lane colors that are solo and duo are also randomly decided at the beginning of the match. Players are randomly placed, but duo parties are more likely to be queued into the same lane.

At the start of each round, players are assigned to the four lanes randomly. Generally speaking, two lanes will be duo lanes and two will be solo lanes. The specific lane colors that are solo and duo are also randomly decided at the beginning of the match. Players are randomly placed, but duo parties are more likely to be queued into the same lane.

Support-centric characters like [[Ivy]] or [[Dynamo]] perform best in duo lanes with a high-DPS counterpart. Self-reliant characters with sustain or poke abilities, like [[Shiv]], are better suited for the solo lanes. The random placement seems to account for this, though the exact mechanism is unclear.
