Matchmaking needs a rework

No one plays club games anymore at the higher levels because you just match with silvers and golds half the time. Can we at least work on something thats a little bit closer? like the average MMR should be within 5k of each other +-.

    Matchmaking absolutely needs to go back to skill based.  

  • Agreed.  Switch back to MMR based matchmaking please!  Go with the layered approach and make it transparent.  Start by trying to match rank exactly, then every 30 seconds expand the circle.  Give the players a message that the circle has been widened (many multiplayer games already do this).

    Also, being able to practice with your teammates while a matchmaking search is in progress (a la Rocket League or NBA 2K), would help the time feel faster.  Added benefit of warm ups before a match.

    My team sucks we constantly play higher levels, or when we have 3 people we play 2 or we have 2 we play 3

    Exactly, it gets games faster but people are backing out even more. That‘s the negative side of it. They probably didn‘t think of this.

  • They say this is to get games faster but the amount of constant backing out to find a better match is beyond frustrating
