"Matchmaking: Even worse than last season, they added some chart before you get into selecting your legend? That doesn’t help anything. We want changes. The TTK made matchmaking worse, level 5s can kill a good amount of people playing Ash and using the Eva-8, and end up in lobbies with platinum, or higher."
See, the matchmaking graph at the start of the match is a terrible idea. All it does it inform people that they are clearly trash right at the start of the match. Can't count the number of times since they added that that the entire squad left the match in the dropship, cause they knew they didn't have a chance at all.
If they hadn't churned enough of the type 3s, 4s, and 5s out with their terrible updates, bad balance, and even worse matchmaking, then maybe that graph would help. Because the "grey region" (aka the population range of the sample) would be a very thin bar, meaning that most of the people were evenly matched. Instead, the grey region is easily covering half the population or more, every match, which means those few type 3, 4 and 5s in the match are just there to feed kills to the streams of the types 1 and 2s.
It's sad, but it's a clear, statistical illustration, of the game bleeding the population.
They are going to have to let people get credit towards the season passes in Bot Royale at this rate.
"the matchmaking graph at the start of the match is a terrible idea."
Agree, and disagree. Yes, it's a bad idea in the sense that it causes people to mentally check out of the match even if they don't actually quit. I've done both. A lot.
But I also think it's pretty brave on their part to show us up front just how terrible their population and matchmaking problems are at the moment. As others have said, a few seasons ago they were trying to up their skill buckets from five to "more than five," but I'm pretty sure that now we're down to three. Two at off-peak. That's just sad. And the thing is, I know what I'm getting myself into with every match, and I knew it long before they so generously illustrated it for me with the graph. But there are so many people in this game that either don't see the graph, don't understand what it's telling them, or just plain don't care or don't believe it. I'm not saying that all the data on the graph is 100% accurate, but it's still a pretty good indicator of how you can expect the match to go. And that's always how it goes.
All in all, I'd rather have the graph than not. Yes, I can see the storm clouds on the horizon for myself, but I still like to have a weather forecast just to confirm that I'm not going crazy.
