Hi @AkumaKLDT,

While your in-game performance is taken into account, your hidden MMR also plays a large part in getting bonuses depending on the relative skill of the lobby.

In this case it's likely your friend was at a lower MMR, so they've received some additional bonuses from the matchmaking system to get them caught up to the appropriate range faster. Mako.png
