I've played this game for 2 weeks and have gone from loving it to hating it more than I have ever hated playing a video game in my life. Add matchmaking to this piece of shit or it will go the way of Supervive in no time. Actually fucking atrocious. League is a better experience

It's getting worse, every game today has this huge range of Ascendents matching with Oracles and maybe an Eternus or two and none of the games are good.

very clearly new players on my team and despite that there is a crazy gap in souls plus the rank gap is of note. the Rem has 4 hours in game and their Mina has 456...

Another downright miserable game where I was put in an Ascendant III lobby (!!!) where I was Eternus II just a few days ago. How is this possible? Blue lane going with over 30 (!!!) combined deaths and not at all feeling like an even game, no matter how much one tried. Nobody helping in comms, nobody checking map, nothing.

I'd rather wait 10 more minutes to get a bit of a higher lobby than to be put in a match like this again. Soloqueue has been absolutely awful the past few days and it feels demoralizing.

What the actual fuck are theses teammates that are running it down with over 10 deaths. The only teammate I had was Rem.
 
Hey @Yoshi , every time you give out a free rank boost you not only ruin games at all levels but particularly Eternus games. You are boosting people into Eternus whilst the eternus people have no where to go. The amount of losses I have on my tracker since the last adjustment because I'm getting team mates that are just straight up saying "I'm new to these types of games" , meaning the large skill gap between ascendant average lobbies and probably like E4+ lobbies. Ascendant players will just sit in base 100% of the time when rejuv pops. Ascendant players won't look for a pick by pushing opposite waves when they're down. Just some examples of skill gaps/choices that cost games.

You need to understand all it takes is one liability that doesn't belong in these games to make it unwinnable practically when you also factor in that there is no draft and you could also be getting character diffed.

I also want to point out that this latest adjustment was so bad that my alt I only use to play with a low rank buddy got boosted from low phantom to ascendant when it only has like 20 games on it. That tells me you essentially believe that a really new player with 20 games should almost be able to compete and contribute in my high eternus lobbies because they are one rank below me. What????
I agree, the boost does not feel good. Awhile ago I was phantom IV and my main struggle was climbing at a proper rate despite winning consistently (I did not have the ability to play the game for hours and hours like some people) and after the boost I am now ascendant III (if I am remembering right) and I was very happy but when I placed in a ascendant game it felt as low phantom. I got the boost I wanted but in return the catagory do not feel proportionate with where I am at making me feel worse and I can see other players feeling the same. I am assuming in the big balance update they will rework the ranking (I would like if they adapt a more sr system under ranking like what overwatch had in the first game) as well as game balance and flow.
 
that s what i m saying, you have better game sens, they may have better aim or skill usage or farm routine. You are all strong in one or max two points but that s it. You don t have the overrall experince to be at leats decent in all points. You see what i mean?

So my matches just got fixed to where I actually have competent teammates now. You know what the fix was?

In game settings there is a setting called Extra Competitive under matchmaking. Since toggling that, I've actually reversed my W/L ratio. Originally 4 wins - 16 losses in the past 20 matches, is now 16 wins - 4 losses in the past 20 matches. I've gotten MVP/Key Player in at least 8 of those matches, probably closer to 12.

Those other players from those other matches were not in my league, Victor. Toggling one setting for more competitive players seems to have relatively fixed matchmaking for me. Since toggling that setting I crawled back from Emissary VI, to Archon IV.
 
CREATE SEPARATE QUEUES FOR SOLOS AND PREMADE TEAMS.
You're failing at creating a semblance of a good matchmaking as is, reduce the amount of such bullshit variables by at least giving an opportunity to opt out from being matched with party players. As it is right now, being a soloQ player is a dogshit- miserable experience.
63874384 - a party of four that stayed SILENT the whole game while doing jackshit. What a thrill to be in a team like that.
63884686 - a party of two crayon eaters that refused to play with team, also no comms
63898524 - a party of two that constantly shittalks a solo the whole game while doing nothing throughout the game.
