What is the point of Quick Match?

[Cracked Cup]

As far as I can tell it uses your Ranked MMR anyway so my matches are just as sweaty as they are in Ranked. It isn't even good practice because you cannot infinite rematch. You can't even do more than the Bo3 you already do in Ranked. I can understand not wanting people to infinite rematch in Ranked, but why not in Quick Match? Or how about even just allowing first to ten in Quick Match. It feels so redundant. At this point all it does is split up the queues to make both of them a little slower.

I play quick match mostly to try out new stuff I've been practicing or try out a new character entirely.

Basically a warmup before diving into ranked.

I haven't gone into ranked and only play quick match. I'm not sure to what extent Tekken power corresponds to MMR, but I get matched with people from a wide range of Tekken power, some very low and others very high (mine is still 100). I always get matches quickly.

i only play quick match. i'm afraid of ranked fights.

[Juri's_feet_tho]

I go into rank matching with new characters raw.

I haven't really tried messing around with the lobby system much yet. It just seems so tedious and awkward. The few times I did try playing there the people were clearly super new to the game so it felt like a waste of time for both of us. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

Same. Never played Quick Match once.

Warm-up and practice, with less mental pressure. It's also a bit more lenient on the rank difference. Personally I needed it to throw out some bad habbits I got from rushing through low ranks.

Practice basically

When I’m testing new combo routes or other tech I’ll go to quick play before I embarrass myself in a rank match

From my experience as a purple rank most players I encounter in a quick match are under my rank, so there is no incentive to play quick play unless I am testing stuff. It just isn’t as competitive as playing rank

Oh so rank is still tied to individual characters which is stupid in a game with 30+ characters. I wish they go back to rank being tied to your account like in Tekken Revolution.

Agreed. Ranks per character should be an offline only feature, to extend replayability.

On online it's just a free licence to smurf. Wack.

Btw nobody should be scared of playing rank

In the grand scale of what’s important in life, your rank in a video game is as insignificant as it gets

If you derank you derank, it’s not a big deal but I encourage everyone here to play rank. You get people around your level and that’s the best thing. Quick play is all over the place, you get high ranks then you get a beginner, no consistency

[Messsucher]

You can get any sort of opponents in there. In working ranked match making you should get similar what you are.

u dont lost points in ranked nothing to be afraid of . i cant speak for higher ranks but i know lower , u dont lose anything. its literally the same as unranked

[Peck]

Quick match tends to bring out people who are Ranked "Beginner" with 0 points who are either absurdly good or cheating. I rarely run into people who have more or less the same rank as the character I'm using.

Played a bit of it. It doesn't use ♥♥♥♥. You'll meet 100 Prowess, D on everything unranked smurfs or Tekken Gods with 200k+ Prowess. Quick Match is a scam. Only fun when the game is near death's door.
