GAC Matchmaking isn’t ready for Relic Delta

There are several points to unpack here.

I have already had horrible experiences with matchmaking

There is no match-making formula.  You play the nearest 8 players to you on Skill Points.

This isn't necessarily relevant.  There are players that have hit K1 with 2 GLs.  You can also counter GLs with non-GLs in most situations.  In fact, a lot of the time at the moment, I'm unsure what to do with some of my GLs.  They're not teams I use for counters and they're hard countered on defence.

Regarding GP the more you fall, the less of your GP you can use.  So, larger accounts can use less and less of their GP the more they fall.

However, activity is relevant.  If accounts (like you faced) are super active and you are also super active, then it's a fair match up.  If the larger account has fallen due to inactivity, then it's not an even match up; you're relying on them 'not turning up'.

So, activity is the issue with match-making.  Activity scores should be a second criteria to who you face.

To then add relic delta changes on top of already being severely outmatched

Well...............yes and no.  Skill Points are very fluid.  So, in one sense these larger accounts will be pushed back towards where they should be, right?  With Relic Deltas, larger accounts won't fall as far as they have (if they're active)............in theory.

Who will suffer (and this could be you) are the smaller accounts that punch up.  The players that have moved up significantly due to skill and creative countering.  Basically, those doing well, are going to be punished.

GAC’s matchmaking needs to be changed before the experience only becomes worse.

I don't agree.  Relic Deltas is an awful idea no matter what the match making.  Simply, with RDs you'll place will be adjusted.

I’m sure for my opponents it’s not fun either……

Most likely, GAC isn't fun for them.  That's why they can't be bothered and have fallen.

All GAC needs (apart from not needing RDs) is an Activity Score.  Then Skill Points will work perfectly...........in my opinion.

In short:

RDs maybe actually better for the OPs scenario (it will push larger accounts back to where they should be).

RDs are going to be a castrative for those that always punch up.  "Trying hard?  Well we'll fix that!"

Sadly this is the truth, larger accounts (mostly paying players) will be rewarded simply because they are bigger. meanwhile somebody who trully figures out the game but has lesser time - didn't invest as much will be punished for those exact reasons. Imagine this system in lets say cod (call of duty for the ones that don't know), people who buy the superior gun gets the advantage in the gunfight while people who have been playing the game for decades, and know everything there is to know about winning gunfights get beaten every single time, because the other guy (started playing yesterday) bought the gun at a higher level. This would call outrage.... Don't get me wrong, there could be benefits to delta, and something needs to change but it cannot be a paying race to r9-10...

You mean like the gun packs that brought insta perks in the DMZ……like insta revive or pulse, extra backspace, the shotgun that kills from a mile away……..I’m sure nobody ever complained about that

euh, thats exactly my point... getting an advantage simply by buying it, isn't what most of the community wants, so i do NOT want it  that one simply can buy his way to R9 and the obvious advantages. If they do it it has to be so that everyone can get relic mats equally fast/easy

Sadly, I think peoples on the forum and that watch youbtube, are but a small portion of the players……none of those like the idea of RD…but ch will push it out and players will buy…..at least I believe that will be their goal. Cg doesn’t seem to care about players having fun…they just get greedier by the week…….when is the last time you actually got a good compensation for things being broken…..
