Skill based matchmaking in the mystery portal!

I don’t play this game anymore and when I played the mystery portal I was surprised to find pretty much every body in the lobby high ranked. But when I jumped on my low level account not a single pers...

    I think you're right, Justin gave us a puzzle question for that, it's an enhancement that we have been asking for the boss hunt, where we got match based on our rank, skill and experience. This's to avoid high-rank player frustrated when being match with the random & clueless newbie.

    I think they tested with Super Mix event portal, and I got a lobby where 85% of the team is high rank and max rank. It is a challenging one for sure, especially I've to careful when taunting somebody since they might haunt me back.

    I think I like it, it makes the game more balanced, the max rank gets the challenge they're looking for, while the newbie can gain experience with an easier group. 

    What are guys thinking?

    Note:

    Probably some newbie will complain since they will struggle in hard/crazy boss hunt with another newbie.

I’m maxed and got 35 prestige+...so does that count?

Is everybody in the lobby above that rank? I had only experienced players in the lobby I was put in today. And I couldn’t join any other lobby if I left and to find another lobby I was placed in the same one again. It’s pretty annoying to play this game mode for stars when everybody is trying hard which makes games take forever!

      Not that I care cause I hardly play this anymore. But this will ruin the game. I notice a tremendous amount of lag in my lobby. Putting skill over connection is not a good idea.

        It seems they are still doing things for the game. I think skill based matches is fine, and it may help with boss hunt. (Sorta, sure maxed players have an easier time but low rank players are going to have a harder time than ever.) But, it better not get worse... EA was caught working on a modified match making system that intentionally decides if you will win or lose. I absolutely do not want that in GW. I guess it is a good change, but I will be watching future changes much more closely.
