I know lower skilled players that win more than me in BR and Arenas. Even if we all won at exactly the same rates— wouldn’t that be pointless too?
Perhaps my thoughts on non-ranked video games are antiquated. 10 years ago, if you wanted to win more than average you needed to be more than average. (Again I hate that this sounds mean).
Modern day multiplayer = trying to ensure most people are winning at similar rates to ensure no one is less inclined to spend money on micro transactions. And of course— the system they use to pursue this isn’t perfect and you end up in situations like the one I’m in (losing more because I am above average).
I honestly feel like the only player demographic that deserves special non-ranked MM treatment are new players. These players deserve a safe space to learn. But after a certain experience point, non ranked modes should feel more like a free-for-all— not ALGS.
Scenario A) A high skilled player loses most of his matches because he is only facing the best.
Scenario B) A low skilled player loses most of his matches because he is below the average skill level.
Scenario A is more egregious to me, but that’s just my opinion. Even if the win rates were equal, that is still wrong in my eyes (for pubs. Ranked modes should have most players winning at the same rate; by virtue of always playing your equal).
