How do i reclimb?

[Hurricane]

So u can check my match history and see i can easy win games but i cant climb.

I then get allies who are 200 elo below me who are terrible... so my latest game was 1300+ 1200 vrs 1100 + me 1300+ i only play 2v2

So obv the game is unbalanced from the get go and i lose 11 elo due to my ally quitting and playing terrible all game.

I dont type or anything in game as people just get mad even if you try help them its best to just be silent and let them do them... shocking for a 2v2 right but thats the game and playerbase.

SO anyway i lose 11 elo... but when i win vrs a 1800+ 1400 i get 14 elo. so i beat WAY better players but get 3 more elo than i do when losing with a worse team.

How is this balanced at all?

Why is there no elo reset? Basically people who play when imbalance patches make things op just climb elo and the rest of us are stuck with toxic playerbase who you cant even talk to because they rage.

The game is dying faster than ever, you left sega and havent done anything to turn the game around!

Please wake up and fix these issues... doesnt matter if the game is perfect the match making system is awful.

I do agree that there should be "Elo reset " every now and then... Like not every few weeks but im talking about months at least if not more. Just do it sometimes at least.

I know that would get me playing more.

Elo resets don't do anything except make matchmaking terrible for the bottom half of players for a few weeks.

I think it makes it terrible for everyone. I've been on both sides of it...it's boring to brutally destroy someone, and it's really frustrating to get outplayed to the point where you don't even know what you did wrong, you just find yourself short a kidney and walking funny.

Real talk, even games with giant communities will give you mismatches. I've been mismatched playing literally every single online game - that's just life. You have to come to terms with that.

The reality is, someone +200 elo higher than you has a 75% chance to win but if they lose, the points gained / lost are more extreme based on ranking. And sometimes on paper you're the stronger team but maybe you didn't take the map layout into your build order. Or your rando ally is taking a sick day from work, they're not playing at their best but they're doing it because it's still fun.

Take into account all the different variables, the overall playerbase - there's times when you'll go through some rough patches because it's hard to be at the top with such a tight community.

OP - even at your current point, you have a win rate +5% over 50 and are in the higher end player ranks to begin with. I also did some rough math - there's roughly 52 games of 2v2 happening every hour on average. You're asking matchmaking to do a lot.

If you wanna get an edge in that, grab a friend to play with and use headset communication. I bet that'll get you to gold rank.

ELO resets are bad and harm bad players, or infrequent players the most.

If you only feel like popping onto CoH3 once every few months for a couple matches with your mates, you're not going to want to accidentally come back into an ELO reset week and suddenly you and your 700 ELO mates who just want to ♥♥♥♥ around doing something silly are getting instantly curbstomped by 1400+ ELO who got reset within 7 minutes of a match start.

I too long to climb, but face similar issues...not sure what the solution is...guess I need to join a clan, but...

ELO reset might be a bad thing for some but i would 100 % start playing the game more if i could get a chance to climb higher elo, right now i just feel like i messed myself up at launch when the game was broken balance wise.

Especially 4v4 for me i think i have 1 win out of 7 or 8 matches and all except 1 was played at launch.

But back then in 4v4 especially the Anti air emplacement spam from the wehrs side was unbeatable, literally the match started you ran straight to a cap point and anti air emplacement was built already there and they felt like i would need a nuke to blow them up.

Now i play some matches every few months or half a year etc because i just can't stand it that there's not much team work in team matches....

I also feel like im EXACTLY at that ELO in 2v2/3v3 where new players with their placement matches end up on my side and they are literally clueless what to do in a match.

Anyways this reply is getting a bit too long for my taste.

All i know is ELO reset would get me playing instantly and i would see the game having a future.

Whatever the reason now i feel like when i play i have to pray for a miracle to get a decent team mate who doesn't just yolo build nothing but mortars or mgs etc.
