I really have no idea if I have terrible luck or that this game really hates me so I'm always matched with teams with huge skill discrepancy. The outcome of the games are always overly one-sided, and among all these games, I can count to perhaps 2 that are more evenly matched. In games that are more evenly matched, I would still be fine with them even if they were lost matches.
I started from Oracle II, dropped to Oracle I, and maintained at Oracle I for some time. The second last game, I was trying out a new hero, lost the game, dropped me straight to Archon V, alright, fine, whatever. The latest game dropped me straight to Archon III? Excuse me, but what in the flying fuck is this?
If you can see the dates of my play, yes, the gaming experience in this game is so terrible that I had to time myself out from playing, because there's no properly implemented behaviour score system set in the game, I got consistently matched with unevenly players that were unevenly distributed in the games I played.
I really can't understand. There are 11 different ranks, and 6 sub-ranks in each rank, yet the game's matchmaker couldn't do a better job at matching players with evenly matched players? I have been complaining about this rubbish matchmaker since I started playing this game, and yet it's still not fixed yet.
Also, playing in the SEA server is so goddamn insufferable, because I have to play with a flood of players that should be walled inside their walls (I won't mention what kind of players I'm referring to but you might know what I'm referring to). There should be an option whereby players get to choose the preferred language, thereby filtering players that don't speak the same language out in matches. I don't believe the player base is so small that this option can't be implemented. I don't mind longer watch times, as long as the match quality is good. As of now, every single thing about the matchmaker is absolute dogshit. I don't care much about the contents, I only care about having a good gaming experience in this game.
I absolutely love this game, and it's the competitive game that I've played so far, and by far. But goddamn, it's as if the developers don't care enough about how the gaming experience is for the players. Sorry again, but for fuck's sake, this issue with the matchmaker has been plaguing the game for as long as the game's existence. My experience is clearly reflected on the lack of games despite my love for the game. Fix your goddamn matchmaker.
