Re: Matchmaking is still trash . . .

@AreYouShivering I know. I just had a particularly bad session last night and wanted to vent.

Bad &/ or toxic teammates, hot drop cluster fiestas, Masters/Preds/cheaters/smurfs, netcode issues, .
. you name it.

I died in so many infuriating ways I lost track.

That's what ticks me off about the matchmaking. It isn't so much how often I die, but how I die and the fact that the game can't see that & does nothing about it. How many times do you have to get annihilated in your first fight before the MM algorithm decides to make adjustments, assuming it even does make changes?

    After reading @Kyldenar ‘s short novel I wholeheartedly agree, but I think you’re missing a player type.
    6. The clowns. The players that strive for the funniest kills, not becase they stream it or post it, just cause it makes them laugh. They can be found playing lots of legends and always know the best rat spots. These players get high kill games, but often die quick in the attempt to set a trap.

    @BigMacAttack8u I mean, that sounds like a valid type, but I got to imagine they are a very small percentage of the population.

    @Kyldenar You've got that in Word or a Google doc for quick cutting and pasting, don't you?

    I fully agree with the Kyldenar Matchmaking Manifesto, BTW. I just needed to vent.

    @Kyldenar you forgot those Chaos Monkeys.  The little kids that enters the match and talks about Fortnite all during the match.  Asking each other random questions about this game and giving each other the wrong advice. Sure they are few and far between but sometimes fun to play with as long as you don't care about winning anytime soon.

    🤔  I am sure there are a lot more player types, but I love those chaos monkeys!
