Grand Arena Matchmaking is flawed.

After months of losing to OP players that are 2-5mil higher gp than I am i am tired of it. Yes I get some fair matches but it is rare. My Ally code is 652-762-737. Again, I have had some fair matches but not many compared to time and time again of being matched against someone I have absolutely no chance at defeating. EA support told me that if enough players didn't enter then the system picks random players and yeah I guess they do and those players I have 0 chance of defeating. Can we all come together and get EA to make a fair game or is that to much to ask?

  • Unfortunately, this kind of matchmaking seems to satisfy everyone, even though it should have been reworked long ago to match players fairly instead of putting you in situations where you have no chance of winning.

    When you make statements like this, CG will not listen.  You simply do not understand the system well enough to make suggestions on what is broken and what needs to change.

    What you're suggesting is literally impossible.  If you have no chance of winning, your opponent has no chance of losing.  If an account is low Carbonite and wins just 45% of their games, they're climb quite quickly due to the huge amount of positive squish in the league.  

    Unless you're actively not trying (or a special circumstance) you're winning between 35%-65% of your games.  If you're not, then you're doing something very wrong.

    In almost all situations you stand a very good chance of winning, or the match up wouldn't exist.  If you cannot understand that, you simply do not understand the system; you probably should not be commenting on how to make it better.

    If however, you stated "zero/no chance of having a competitive engaging match up" then you have a point.  Playing a vastly more experienced roster because that player isn't engaging in the environment as often as they could, is not fun.  Nor is it within the spirit of the intended rules.

    However, I think a suggestion on how to fix that has been put forward.  

    I dunno though, most of the guys making these 'no chance' comments seem very similar.  I get the feeling one or two people are making new accounts to troll or to champion the argument.

    TLDR:  You need to change your rhetoric to stand a chance of being heard.  Right now your argument is too flawed to take seriously.
