Re: Unfair Ranked MatchMaking

I really dunno because I don't play ranked that often (usually because the match wait time is like 5 minutes and i only go on for a bit), But my theory is this:

You get 500 top players; What are the chances that in those 500, they will get into a match with another 500? Like 1 in a million, the wait time would exceed an hour.

There are much more diamond players so they probably just mash them in so that they don't have to wait for other predators to play ranked.

Like i mean, i don't blame them because then the predators won't play ranked, so the next category to keep them in ranked is to push them in with diamond.

    @S53CTR07 I agree with some of that but if you are a top 500 player I think you should have a longer wait time because your skill is exceedingly higher then others
  • Now let's think about this from a money perspective, Cha-Ching

    Nowadays games are striving for some quick cash; Who would they support, some quick-a-ding diamond player who may or may not spend money on the game, OR one of the top 500 players on a platform, believe me, if i were one of the top 500, i would be spending some money on the game. 

    To sum it up: More likely that top 500 players will spend more money than diamond players; So they might as well 'help' or 'boost' the top 500 players to keep them engaged on getting easy wins on diamond players.

    i dunno if i'm to mean in that, sorry if i am.

  • All of season 3 in diamond you faced predators. No difference even with the split. Diamond 4 are in my lobby now at plat 4. You said you thought that was fair so they can gate keep. Well the predators are doing the same for you. Top 500 players make predator. How much gatekeeping have they been doing to keep people from reaching master? 

    Do not get me wrong I agree the ranked is and has been a hot mess. I compete against diamonds in every ranked plat game. Yet my teammates can be as low as bronze????? Talk about a level playing field. I play during peak time only and for a game or two a night then I quit playing. It is a joke, because basically ranked and pubs are the same for me. 2 lower level teammates and going against experienced premade squads. 

    Oh well this is their game and they have by default set it up to cater to premade and god mode players.

    Dude, i'm a Plat 4 and had 21 predators on a single game, when 5 ENTIRE SQUADS of PREDATORS are the first ones to jump i just went all the way to being the last guy on the ship to just count how many of them there was.

    Today i had 20 ina single match and at least 5 or more games with 10 or more, gold was actually easy but platinum is just hell, i can win against diamonds but predators are near impossible to me, i even died to a team placed  with a guy #21 in the predator, his team also had a guy on #67 and #119.

    For me it's only Diamonds that should play with Masters and Predators, because going up to platinum is actually very easy and i belive, because of this F*** up pairing that most of the player base are hard stuck on platinum 4 and just gives up trying to go Diamond, i know it shouldnt be easy but right now as it is right now is not fair to not hit diamonds not because  cant compete with them, but i need to beat guys way above them.
