Oh, and EA support on Twitter assured me that the Community team read and forward concerns to the Respawn dev team. If that's the case please can someone acknowledge the problem? And if that's not true I'm going to assume the continuing silence is a mark of this forum being ignored and EA reps on twitter deliberately mislead to placate angry voices.
Remarkable how totally ridiculous the matchmaking remains.
Obfuscating Ranks doesn't work when people stream - If i'm a plat player in Ranked Arena I don't think it's fair to punish me for losing to a Diamond player. Ranks should go against each other, with increased waiting to balance skills properly. The fact that there's no selectivity in matchmaking is really ruining things.
Losing to a Diamond Arena team then having to face a Pred three stack then another Diamond squad makes zero sense (The amount of people streaming makes this easy to verify) If I have a personal MMR why is it not being used for anything except to calculate my 12 point AP reward (or -19 loss) and not for determining the difficulty of my opponents.
Right now I am Plat 2 in arena's and getting 12 points per win because i have lost a lot. Going up against a Master 3 stack (who are obviously not Plat 2 right now) is in now way balanced as it's impossible to beat them (they won in 3 games).
Can anyone justify why the RANKED mode is set up to work this way? Any reasoning behind it at all???
