Fair Hut Match Making

I have read many posts the last few months on hut matchmaking  and how unfair it is. EA needs to address this now. It can be achieved by making the max ping option more precise. 0 -10 10 - 20 etc. The answer from the EA rep was if we did this it would result in longer wait times. My answer to that is I bet if the game was fair, players that have left the game would come back that left because of the frustration they felt having to play games they they had little chance to win before the game even started . I will also speak for players and say I would rather wait longer for a game I have a fair chance of winning than the current system. In my case in Ontario being matched against QC players where I have anywhere between 10 and 19 ping and they have 0 - 5 ping. I have a 5  - 10 % chance of winning because of the big ping advantage they have due to how close they are to the EA server.

This is not sour grapes this is a fact. Skill in the game should be the deciding factor in the winning and losing of games not ping. A more precise way to make the matchmaking process fair is a start.

    I beat QC players all the time. You playing on 10 and then on 5 is not a big deal at all even 30 is fine. It's when it's 45-60s .

    Just practice offline till you can pass with ur eyes closed.

  • There is pretty much zero difference between 5 and 20 ping - I recommend playing at a different time if you keep getting matched with the same group of people.

    Are you able record a period or two so we can see exactly what's going on?

    if you beat qc players all the time. I have a couple of questions for you. Where do you live? What dns server are you using and what internet provider do you use?

    I am so tired of playing qc players that have 4- 6 ping when I AM PLAYING ON 11,18. There needs to be a min ping. I would play anyone on the same ping as me. I AM NOT SAYING I would win  but it would at least be fair

    As already pointed out by @TTZ_Dipsy, there really isn't a difference when pings are that low so you're not loosing due to a difference in connection.

  • You’re actually complaining about sub 20 ping 😂😂. There is a huge amount of people who play on 60-90 all day long.  If you have sub 30 ping you lose because the guy is better than you not because of ping. I do agree that there should be something done about better ping matchups but sub 30 is all the same.  30-55 and 60-85 are all about the same I travel for work and play on all different types of connections and servers. And sub 20 is a dream for most of this community

    I’ll add to this, so I haven’t played HUT much since the game came out mainly because I play with friends online and just have fun.

    Today however I was going to focus solely on HUT, my team isn’t the greatest 83 OVR, however even after placement (Iron) I am being matched against juiced up teams 90+ OVR and players that are a LOT better than me and it just becomes overwhelming.

    ill admit I’m not the best player at the game, but I’m clearly not being matched with people of my skill level. I think I’ve won 1 game out of 10 so far in Rivals.

    Maybe I should just stick to squad battles, but yeah the matchmaking needs work big time.

    Matchmaking is based on your region and division. Not the overall of your team. That would further restrict matchmaking. Overall isn't an indicator of personal skill also.
