We are a team of silvers in WOC and routinely get matched against platinum/blues or purples, both in 6s and 3s. No surprise we get smoked. We should NOT be matched up against these kinds of teams with 25,000+ RP when we’re barely hanging onto 17,000. Can we get some skill based matchmaking in here? Here’s ONE example in the pic… unreal. We’ve been paired against two different teams with the top rankings possible tonight.
Were on the other side as were all elites and all we play are very low badges.
Definitely takes the fun out of the game just owning everyone
did they fully take out skill based matchmaking
Bro for real. Like, all love to y’all, but we don’t wanna play you hahaha. Sorry to hear that man. It’s frustrating. They need one if they don’t have it… it doesn’t seem like they do.
We are in the same boat. Silver players getting owned by mostly blue and purple badges with the occasional fire thrown in for good measure. We can't get out of Div 10 this year (Div 1 / 2 in NHL24).
Man this is rough, why was finals broken up into only two cups for last year and this year. We worked stupid hard to win the Elite cup championship twice last year. But at least during our finals we would very rarely go up against Elites or Diamonds so we would have some what a fair competition. We are gold's with one of us occasionally reaching Platinum 3 maybe 2 and this year we have played maybe 16 games this finals and only two of those games have they been against teams our size of ranks. Every game that wasn't those two had at least one elite player and mostly Diamond Players. As soon as the game starts and we see they are all that high of players it makes us question why we are getting these teams. I understand it is Elite cup finals and we are possibly going to see some high end teams especially as we get deeper in the rounds but round 1 seeing teams like this is deflating. There use to be 4 different cups to play for and usually if we didn't make it into the Elite cup we would have some good battles in the superstar cup and even though it wasn't round based we could play multiple games and have fun. It is just not fun anymore to play. What sucks is yes we could play better but for some reason the Higher end teams it feels like if they have bots those bots play up to their level in terms of poke checks, being able to hold on to the puck and that All Star Goalie. Sorry for the long post I guess the real question is
Was skill based matchmaking a thing in years pass or were we just lucky. If it was a thing Does it plan on coming back.
Elite is Fire logo - Diamond is Purple Logo - Platinum is the one between Purple and gold logo - Gold is Gold - Silver is the Grayish color and Bronze is bronze. This is my understanding of the ranks
