I understand that 100%, as I too have been around in many other games over my years that use a similar system. I don't claim to be a a great player at all, but I have played over 10k games, and have enough game sense to know when I'm playing with brand new players! We all start somewhere and I get that! But what I don't understand is why I CONSISTENTLY over and over again, got matched with BRAND NEW PLAYERS only after I was 1 win away from GOLD 3. I carried most of the wins on my way to GOLD but at least then, I did get teamed with more experienced players. I was doing most of the Damage and the downs consistently. I'm still doing most of the Damage and downs but I'm also now getting placed with Teammates that don't even know the map! Again that is my point! I'm not blaming the players! We all started somewhere! But to me if the HIDDEN MMR is to really be fair, then it has to take into consideration the PLAYERS EXPERIENCE! How many RANKED ARENA GAMES have they played! If they have only played 6, then they can't possibly even know the map we are playing on!
Against my better judgement, I decided to keep playing just to see how it works out from here. I am now almost back to SILVER 2 and I am still getting brand new players that don't know they can close the weapon selection menu! I'm losing 25 points with every loss and gaining 12 in the VERY OFF CHANCE we win! I would like some real feedback as to how the selection works and or really is supposed to work. There is no way, a level 500 player should be teamed up with a level 13 player! And more importantly, if it happens it should be on the rare occasion! But for some reason I am not getting this almost EVERY SINGLE GAME! It really makes me wonder, If i had won 1 game and made it GOLD 3, would this still have been the case? Was I really 1 win away for not being teamed with someone that has only played the game for a week or so. over and over again now? Why would any one believe if this is how they system works, that people will continue to play?
