WOC Playoffs Matchmaking

Over the playoffs me and my buddies were trying to get some good games going just so we could at least enjoy playing some puck with the boys. Unfortunately every team we played we face either diamonds or fires. Some had gold players but they were more likely Alts after seeing the same type of username on their friends list. Anyways this was out first game of the night and it didn’t go well. I got LT’d and couldn’t get the puck since my pressure went down constantly without skating as I was defending mostly. Furthermore we mostly played against Fires for the rest of the playoffs losing almost every match, other than the one we beat golds and silvers. The LT frustration really had us as we couldn’t even poke check or hit. The last team we played last night had like 5 DNF Wins against the top team in Playoffs who are have a very substantial amount of DNF W’s. The matchmaking is so out of touch that we don’t even think we will play anymore of this continues. What’s the point when a Div 3 club is playing D1? Makes no sense! There were D3 teams online but nope let’s match us with a different rank. I hope there is a solution to this eventually. Sadly nobody wants to play so here we are…

  • I guess this is intentional. Last season we had the same problem. This season we started the playoffs at purple and so we were on the other side of lopsided matchmaking. It was easy to get wins. During regular season play try to rank up as much as possible and you may be in a better playoff position. Compared to seed 1 plays seed 8 in real hockey, there intention can be understood.
