Laughable matchmaking

anyone else got some screenshots of their abysmal matchmaking? they seriously need to admit they have a matchmaking problem

Thats really wierd, unless there is only 59 players on your server or a visual glitch.......

"To that end, in Season 27 Split 1 and the start of Split 2, Master and Predator players will still be able to match with high-tier Plat players."

From here:

ranked-matchmaking-test---season-26

Just my opinion, but no plat player should ever have to face pred teams. Especially if its a solo Q plat vs premade pred teams. Seriously, if you guys can't manage proper MM, or can't fix it, don't want to, et cetera - just step down or bow out gracefully. Please! 

I've never experienced a matchmaker in any game that wouldn't have thrown together such a match with zero compunction. In fact, I've seen worse in every game I've ever played, including this one. Not saying it's okay. I'm just flabbergasted that there are people who are experiencing it for the first time when it's been a fixture of my gaming experience since about 2004.

And I'm also a little curious about the fact that no one has asked the op if gold (or whatever that is)  is his legitimate end point, or if he's made master every season for six years running but just started his grind a little late this particular season. Which might account to some degree for the match in question. Because what I'm seeing is a diamond lobby and two diamond squadmates. Not saying it's good. I'm saying it could be worse.

It looks like a bronze squaddie with 2 diamonds in the op squad, in a mainly diamond lobby. 

The masters, preds and plats are apparently ok in this lobby, but add to that a bronze and theres clearly somthing wrong.

I guess then that my question would be, was this guy solo queueing or was he stacked with those diamond teammates? Beyond that I'd like to know what his mmr is. Like I said, is he a "legit" left side player or is he a plat/diamond player in the early stages of his grind? I know the matchmaker in this game is terrible, but there are factors that could account for that match.

1 factor could be a visual glitch 🤣

That would make more sense 😅

More of the same yesterday.

Ahhh rEAspawn - a picture says a thousand words doesn't it. Thanks again for the distribution bar - paints a picture and really showcases your Dev teams abililty to produce fair play and positive gaming experience.   

Keep up the good work. 😔
