I do not want to go back to GP match making. I dislike how it makes you play the game.
Also under the old system, the difficulty of opponent basically 'reset' after each season. So the amount of players that went 12-0, 11-1, 10-2 each season was very very high. So the old system wasn't fair.
Now, the win ratio is much more even, and I guess 'fair'.
However, there are downsides.
There can be large divisional changes, which at this stage I don't think should be happening.
Some players are sandbagging, causing mismatches.
Those that aren't playing at all, are sinking to the bottom. Hence your guild member's son's terrible match up. This last point in particular is a real problem in my opinion. There's no fun there, as the outcome is decided on whether the bigger guy turns up or not.
I think at the very least there should be a 'starter' division, which you can't get demoted into. Only promoted out of. In the long run though, I think sandbagging and non-playing needs to be addressed.
As for you, I don't see a problem. If you're finding it too hard, you're probably too high (in league). A few losses and you'll be somewhere, where you can compete a bit better. That's how the system works, everybody gets their 5-7 wins (on average) per season. There's nothing more fair than that. Just..........some of the matches won't be fair.
I don't like that we are using the same rankings for 5v5 and 3v3. How can we fine tune the rankings, when we're changing the game being played? I would prefer the choice or 3v3 moved out of GAC and has its own arena.
