Re: Matchmaking with Friends Getting Better

Whenever I play BR, it is in a duo queue with a friend who is fairly higher skill level than I.  Over the last year or so, our pubs MM has been so bad that we've taken whole seasons off.  We just ground out the battle pass in mixtape for better or worse.  

This season so far, our pubs MM has seemed much more reasonable.  We frequently do get an incompetent third, but for the most part we are not just being destroyed instantly in our first encounter, which has been the case in several recent seasons.  There are still lots of squads in the lobbies who blow through us like we are AI, but it's not like every single squad like it used to seem.  I'm enjoying pubs BR for the first time in quite a while.  WR is at somewhere around 5% as it should be.  I guess it depends on whether the sweat squads survive their drop, lol.

We used to enjoy playing ranked together for a few weeks or so each season.  With the introduction of MMR in ranked, we gave up on that after finishing our placement matches last season - it was a terrible experience.  Between me being middling skilled and the randoms we were given, it felt like banging our heads against a wall.  We haven't even bothered touching it this season.
