@dougieee I don't think anyone thinks you are lying. There are countless examples from others on here and on reddit.
My suggestion- If you want to play ranked while they run this experiment I highly suggest connecting to New York servers.

Have they changed squad matchmaking again?
I played about 15 rounds last night and in 8 of them, my two squadmates were downed in less than 1 second of gunfire and did close to 0 damage. All 16 of them would have had a combined damage of under 100. The worst squadmates I have ever had. It wasn't like this last week or the week before.
@aisthebestletterNot from what I've seen, especially for premade parties of 2 playing Trios.
Taking the highest skill rated player in that duo, matching them with a random (often lower skilled for some reason), and feeding them to premade Diamond/Masters trios is absolutely horrific. Even if your random is higher skilled, I have almost never seen them be able to carry that duo against premade trios.
My brother and I do the duo in trios thing and it is a horrible experience. Totaly ruins our attempts to play this game together and often gets us ticked off at the game &/or ticked off at each other. We'll disband and play solo and instantly have better matches, too.I had a win rate of 8.5% this season until last week. Now I am on about a 100 game losing streak. Wtf is going on.
- @aisthebestletter Matchmaking is still broken and hasn't been changed. All the sweats, smurfs, & cheaters are back for the run up to S16.
Nowhere I have found a slightest information about that they will take the team composition into the consideration for matchmaking.
This means that I (a support legend) Loba will be matched with other support legends to artificially prolong the game.
I am seeing this currently so I guess it will the same or worse.
That's funny "This means that I (a support legend) Loba will be matched with other support legends to artificially prolong the game."
Where does it state this? Will? Maybe that should have been could. How would 2 support legends on a team "artificially" prolong a game?
Lets see what happens when S16 hits, me myself I am honestly looking forward to all the changes. Lets give it a try before we start knocking it.
- @PsyhiX69 I assume you mean by banner crafting over and over? Do we know what crafting a banner costs? Do we know if it is unlimited?
I dont think this will be a huge deal myself. As the game progresses you won't have access to a crafter. And if materials are required there's even less possibility. 30 mats for the crafting the banner.
No idea if it is limited or not.
Respawn beacon is still needed.
As time goes on both become limited resources either way even if you have and or can craft a mobile respawn beacon.
I still do not see how this will prolong the game either way, since well, there is the ring and all.
- @Asmodeus566 Exactly. Of all the changes I view this one as the least important and game changing.
- @PsyhiX69 They can't. You pick your legend after they match you up.
