Masters & Preds Need Restrictions
If you have achieved Masters & up within the last 3 seasons you shouldn't be allowed to play in lobbies ranked below diamond. The amount of Masters I'm getting in GOLD lobbies is ridiculous!

@Palette24carats I'm not talking about Smurf accounts. I'm talking about ANY account that has achieved Master in the last 3 seasons. So any account that has Masters badges from those seasons should not be in Ranked Matches under Diamond.
Smurfs are gonna happen. But smurfs shouldn't already have the badges so it is what it is. I just don't want to see actual Masters & pred badges in my lobbies.
If we have the player base everyone is saying, Masters & Preds should be fine playing in Diamond & above.
I shouldn't be seeing them every game in Gold.

@Lord_Scorpion34 Smurfs are not necessarily brand new accounts, the game is over 5 years old most people have created smurfs and continued to play them now they are lvl 200 and more and they do have Master badges.
Your solution doesnt solve anything they would just stop grinding their alternate accounts to Diamond 1 and still play against us at will.

@Palette24caratsIt does solve some issues cuz I guarantee you not every Master or Pred has a Smurf account. And any account that has achieved Master or Pred in the last 3 seasons would be restricted to diamond minimum. So if a smurf account got Masters 3 seasons ago they could only play in Diamond lobbies minimum also.
Restricting making multiple accounts is also a good idea but I doubt Respawn does that. Streamers get views showing themselves grinding Rookie to Masters & would complain.- @Lord_Scorpion34 I've always said they should restrict how far people drop more. The issue with this is people would climb too fast and that hurts retention. Plus people would just make more accounts.
@hayhorYep. I don't play ranked for this reason.
But, as an aside, regarding MM - Predators/Masters should *NEVER* be in some lobbies. It just shouldn't happen. Maybe it means it is hard for them to find a game but... not my problem. I am tired of being a KD pill just so they can get a game. It just makes a miserable experience for the majority of people there. I've said it before, I'll say it again; I'd rather *not* get a game than get a game full of people who are just going to stomp the lobbies. Just a waste of time.
But there is a trend I've noticed. At the beginning of a season and end of a season the lobbies are dominated with these sweats. Just avoid those times. When it gets towards the end of a "season" most casuals have got he BP and are taking a break so the lobbies are just full of sweats. The game is unplayable then and there is little MM can do about it... if it's 90% sweats then that is probably what you are going to get. Just don't play it at that time. I don't see a solution to that as the MM can only work with what's in front of it. As I said above I'd rather it just came back and said "sorry, I can't find a reasonable game for you now; try later". I'm fine with that. The alternative is I quit anyway and I've wasted my time and I feel like I've been screwed.To be fair, for the most part, I've felt MM this season has been the best I've experienced in a long time. But I fret that end of season sweat fest will start soon and I'll have to stop.
