If you're going 11-1 and 9-3 or whatever, you're imposing more losses on other players. So if they enjoy the same thing as you (just winning) then you were ruining the game for others before. There is a loser in every match. You'll just have to carry your share now.
Now others are 'ruining it' for you, because the exploit you were taking advantage of has been removed. I'm so sad for you. You can stop playing any time you like.
So can you. Socialism in gaming, good times.
I don't see how you actually getting matched against people with a chance of beating you is any form of socialism. Just better matches for all involved through results based matching.
I ain't stopping. This game got massively better with the dropping of squad arena and the bantha point system for matching.
Its not getting matched with people who have a chance of beating me (I welcome that), its getting matched with people I have zero chance of winning against. I like competition, but I also like a fair fight; there is reasons in sporting events to have weight classes etc. I do not like the new ladder matchmaking system based solely on win/loss.
There is always a chance that your opponent choose not to attack. So there is nothing like “zero chance of winning”. You only know for certain after the match is over.
The leagues and divisions are the “weight classes”. Talking about boxing, every athlete is allowed to move up and down the weight classes as long as they fulfill the weight threshold. Same principle here.
