Fix the **bleep** matchmaking!

Fed up. I am FED UP with this ridiculous matchmaking, putting me against someone with twice my GP whose teams I can't even scratch! There should be a limit to the difference of GP you're put up against, and I'm now being bullied out of a ton of crystals because some genius doesn't bother trying to move up the ranks but has no problem beating the snot out of my defense! Yeah, I'm mad.

  • Cut me some slack, it was the heat of the moment and I was upset. It doesn't help that I've been matched up with these kinds of players for the last few weeks and I've barely won a thing

    Good news, you'll eventually settle into a bracket where you will be able to win 50% of your matches

    Well, this is a thread of your own creation, and we’ve been trying to answer your questions.  We all play the game, we’re all trying to win, but it doesn’t happen like that every time.

    "You can be paired up with the sweatiest player possible"

    If they're the sweatiest player possible, they'll be moving up and playing up in GP, and not your scenario.

    "That's not fair in the slightest"

    Again, if they're where they should be, it is fair.  If they've fallen due to inactivity, you're right it's not fair.   If you play all the time you're where you should be and playing who you should (bar those that aren't playing as mentioned).  Just having a GP metric isn't the answer.

    I saw an example of a 9 million GP account making Kyber 1.  What happens to this player if there's a GP match making metric that doesn't allow them to play vs 13/14 million accounts?

    There's zero issue with players who have moved up playing larger accounts or playing accounts that have fallen due to not being very good.  It's a case of wanting to win more, it's not set up like that.  You'll win 40-60% of all your games, apart from when you make a meaningful change to your roster.  If you can't accept winning 50ish%, then you're in for a lot of pain.

    Yet your win rate over the last 60 rounds is above 50%.

    I don’t know what the “sweatiest player possible” means, but you will join a bracket with 7 players directly adjacent to you in the skill rating ladder. 

    You can be matched against someone with all 9 GLs, but only if their skill rating is the same as your skill rating, which likely means they don’t try very hard much of the time. 

    And no, I’m not off my rocker. I’ve just been playing the game for a very long time (more than half of your lifetime!) and there are few forum complaints that I’ve not seen hundreds of times before.
