Re: Bad Matchmaking Or Hacker Bypassing?

@Midnight9746The Bronze 4 has 11 Season 4 wins so its not a new player but it does seem like there is something wrong unless its something they changed to counter higher tier players farming bronze-silver lobbies

however they are level 113 with a 4k so... its likely a smurf/hacker account they used to grind rank with in earlier seasons but was never banned

    @TheApexLegendNub Just an FYI for anyone else too, the picture is like that, because by the time I noticed the Bronze IV, (because I normally don't look), I hit the screenshot key the moment it started putting us into the dropship to countdown to fight.

    But for real, the bronze player shouldn't be in this match at all.

    Is there any chance this is decay-related?  I can't remember the exact constraints for matchmaking ranked, but I do remember that MMR plays some role in matchmaking, at least at certain times.  Besides playing together with their crew, what possible advantage could it be for a bronze player to be in a platinum lobby?

    @pandareno1999The thing is, the game states "Cannot matchmake, party members MUST be one teir different". AKA (Gold, Plat), alright, (Plat, Diamond), also alright. (Bronze/Sliver, Plat), not alright.

    If the matchmaking forces premades to follow the squad up rules, it should make sure it forces it reguardless if they're premades or not. This basically either puts the bronze at a disadvantage, or makes them get reported for cheating, since I know bronze in diamonds and above, 100% can't happen either, much like them existing in plats.
