Arenas Matchmaking Is Terrible

This includes both ranked and non-ranked versions:

- You get terrible teammates and get pitted against full on smruph, cheating, or pred teams (or mixture of the 3)

- Enemy team almost ALWAYS are on console

- Most of my matches, it basically goes like this:

*wins the first round*

Enemy team: Lol, time to turn on aimbot and snap to everywhere with zero effort hahahahhahahahahah

- Your ranked point system is basically unranked, both modes get the EXACT same matchmaking in terms of noob players for your team VS teams that might as well be in the ALG or banned for cheating.

Congradulations! You added a broken gamemode in pretty much every way from Lifeline revive to letting so many smurphs/cheaters into any and all matches.

If "rank" really is "skillbase", then I should be in plat or diamonds, because this is all that I see in GOLD - not even normal ranked has this big of an issue, sure normal rank has more players and you can tell when your teammate is used to being carried, but it doesn't happen as much, this is almost EVERY single match. (Didn't get a chance to screenshot the 3rd enemy player's banner card, but they were a level 32):



Clearly your "rank" system thinks everyone equals everyone else's rank and skill and treats it as if everyone plays the exact same way.

If this sounds rude, that's because I'm done sugar coating things, and I'm done dealing with things like this.

    @Midnight9746 This is exactly the reason why I haven't played a single match of arenas and why I will never play this game mode, no matter how many unwanted arena challenges they shove in my face.

    @Solim66 They think that the point system is working, but it's not. It's like the point system doesn't even matter.

    I genuinely thought I was the only one losing my mind over this, i play solo and I got to diamond 3 from plat 3 in a day, ever since I got diamond 2 recently I’ve been consistently getting bronze and silver team mates, I actually cannot play the game mode anymore because of the team mates I’m getting, it’s completely ruined my ap points, I’m getting like +12 every win even tho I’m dropping like 3k to 4K damage games consistently when my team mates can barely get 500 damage, it’s actually ridiculous.

    @EmmzZz7 In arenas, the +12 means you're winning games against people below your rank. Much below actually. For me, I reached plat 3 in the first season, and this season I decided not to deal with matchmaking as much, so I've only reached gold 4 and left it at that. Anyways, winning matches results in getting over 100 points, even when entering plat. Losing matches was anywhere from 12-15 point loss which seemed odd. Basically, the enemy teams were a higher rank than mine, so winning rewarded a lot and losing was less punishing.
