Matchmaking is absolutely outrageous

[MoodyStarbuck]

It takes so long to get a match but 9/10 times you end up in completely uneven teams either stomping or being stomped. Both isn't fun at all.

It got so much worse over last week or so.
Just simply no fun matches anymore.

at the start of new season i always have intense match like everyone is very competent
nowadays i always wonder if i play againts bot or just very new player, they walk straight into fire without a fight

Yeah, the matchmaker just puts me in a team with copper newbies as dead weight on demolition and escort modes that are pretty competitive and make me and the other 1 that we play kinda well losing our win rates for nothing.

The easiest solution to the matchmaking is to simply balance the lobby by rank average of the whole lobby. That way it would prevent the games where one team has majority of the highest ranks while the other team is about two whole brackets below the other team. I'm unsure why they have it so that 90% of the time the teams are entirely unbalanced because for some reason one team has to have WAY higher ranks the one team.

My theory is that their match maker picks an even distribution of players. Then it forgets to keep it in mind when it shuffles everyone into random sides. Meaning it probably has 2 of the same skill and rank, but may put both on the same team.

That or some queue as dueos/trios and it means it can't put them on both sides, even though the match maker counted it as a possibility when starting the group.

Hmm its start being more manageable once you realise its just random. Just play out the game. Some matches will simply not be winnable purely based on the matchmaking.

Nothing you can do about it. Winrate in the game is completely pointless unless you play full stacks and even then it will match you with people that have way more hours or a way higher skill level.

They might aswell just remove winrate entirely as it serves no function apart from annoyance.

I always meet the same group if I match after finish last round and I have to fight with jumper or super human reaction every time

Sounds harsh. I've never felt like I constantly got the same people even when I re-queue.

despite the really bad matchmaking
I have another problem
why my gun suddenly feels like peashooter midmatch?
I kill someone easily then the next guy turns into an undying superhuman

I have that issue especially on payloads from time to time. It can be moments where you quickly kill someone on the truck, and sometimes when it feels like you hit them 50 times and it still didn't add up to cover their 250 life. (So each shot at point blank did about 5 damage each to paper).
