Matchmaking DEV Recap

"Squad matchmaking looks at closest skill to fill out your squad. The skill value doesn't take into account playstyle or what the player is trying to do in the match (complete Challenges, win, or learn a new Legend, etc.) They are a similar skill value based on the number and how we measure it. Without knowing more about the specifics of what you consider to be 'skill', we can't really provide any additional insight."

You dont need to know what we consider skill, thats common knowledge.
But a Fuse doing 35dmg in Plat 1 Lobbies all game isnt remotely close to the skill you should have in those lobbies !

So plz spare us the phony politician speak, thats not how you built trust.
Keeping up those matchmaking shenanigans only hardens the suspicions that some people are more equal than others and get a free pass to Ranks they should not have in the 1st place, while others get setup to fail on purpose.

And this isnt an "isolated incident", i could post hundreds of screenshots  showing the same clear picture.

Team Kill RP should never be given to Players that contributed  nothing. 
I would change that to a threshold value of around 50% of the teams average dmg :
1736/3 = 579 , 50% would be 290,  still way too low for a mate that has a similar skill by Respawns definition of skill , but  a reasonable approach in my opinion.

    EMEA is a cesspool ... 
    I got a really good start at the beginning of the Season , walked straight to Plat 1, then a 3 days loosing streak where i nearly went down to Gold again. Took me quite some time to make up for that, reached Dia 3 , stopped at that point, since it makes no sense to suffer through the soloq as it is.

  • Today D4 / D3 / D2 level 3stack after 3 losing streak games with 0-3 KP and heavy negatives:

    NA East server

    by the end of 2nd zone there were 4 squads left, Current Pred (whom I can't mention because forum rules) plainly aimbotted and had 20 KP or something like that (tracker broke, did not note down exact figure) but it was clear they are running the lobby.

    Nice, thanks, great MMR SBMM example :D

  • Didn't need to wait long nor new "system" could hide it.

    Teamed up with P4 (bottom) / P2 / D4 3stack.

    First game - game shows 20 Plats, tracker shows 10 Masters in the lobby -> 10 masters it was :)

    Second game after badly losing previously mentioned one and before that not gaining positives for 3 games straight:

    EA / Respawn did it again = nothing to solve the "feed Preds some easy prey".

    F this game!
