Bad Matchmaking Thread

ive resorted to trying to blocking folks on steam because theres no reason i should be playing with them (toxic or skillwise etc) but am consistently matched with them again LOL
pretty clear it makes no difference then so fuck it
 
thing is
stressing myself to try to productively help new folks pays off when folks are responsive and when you teach someone something its satisfying
but its not conducive to providing any sort of valuable feedback because it obviously doesnt boost my understanding of the game or experience of it as it potentially should be played

much love

33122598. I'm 4 ranks higher than the matches I'm being put in. Maybe the number of gamers is just really low right now, I don't know. Not fun though.

Our calico was AFK the whole game, and the level of skill was not equal between my team and the enemy team. I'm not high MMR, I'm just Emissary, but I'm getting players who seem to be playing for the first time.
 
dog water matchmaking. devs dont care. ive said it time and time again. if we all just drop deadlock then theyll be forced to make changes that would make the game better. but what do i know. i just get shoved in lobbies like this were a holliday does 204 damage a bullet. smh game is dying and devs dont care. literally everybody and their mom thinks this game is going to die and im here to see it for real for real.

2 or 3 smurfs in the same game and we get circles run around us on the map. Half our team doesn't communicate and we get picked off over and over.

Personally I wouldn't even mind being thrown into lobbies with better players like this if they were at least actually putting a LOT OF POINTS on the line for us lower rank players to grab. You can win or lose to a player smurfing on an Emissary account who in reality is Oracle+ and it feels like the system doesn't reward or go easy on you for it.

People seem to feel incentivized to smurf with the current system, even players that are not necessarily looking for a stomp. Many pros and E6 streamers will openly tell you they smurf just for better queue times but the MMR distortion really ruins things for those of us trying to climb the honest way.

from what i understand the player base is pretty low atp and the lack of transparency or any sort of open communication is definitely not doing any good
its kind hard to really see a significant difference between writing something here and making a tweet at EA about sims

Why does the match making put both eternus parties into one team instead of against each other (magician, calico and paradox was a separate party from holliday, grey talon and lash) ? wide queue needs a rework.. or just use average rank and delete wide queue
 
fourth in a row, but at least rankings were on our side. Two people in this match were present in one of our previous matches, pretty sure they're smurfs
