The ranking system for solo queue is heavily flawed

[76561199166981046]

It's pretty clear since the move to Epic that matchmaking and ranking has been hit in a round about way.

1. Solo queue games are seeing you paired with a significantly increased amount of clueless teammates
2. Solo queue games are seeing you pair with people in ranked games that aren't even ranked yet
3. Solo queue games are seeing you pair with pretty much every type of player that you don't want on your team (the AFK, the own-goals, the people that shouldn't be in competitive modes)

I'm 100% confident that if you're playing on PC from Steam, your matchmaking lobbies are getting shafted.

The game went F2P so they want new profiles created through Epic and they want Steam players to move off.

It's also why the moderators here on Steam have become pessimistic and quick to implement bans

I started to notice this a bit too. I'm D3-C1 on this account, and C3 on my Epic account. And oddly, the D2-3 games on steam are actually tougher and I just can't get out of C1. But solo'd GC title on epic? idk enough to pass judgement, just sharing my thoughts.

It doesn't change at diamond to champ. The ranks are polluted with boosted players with low skills.

dude im literally seeing ppl not even be able to hit the ball in the air on a constant basis, then they'll just keep chasing after it regardless if someone else already is in position. Its ridiculous

Just had a similar match in Champ. People that are gold are being boosted up the ranks by their buddies. Then when a new season starts it keeps them there. That is why we need a hard reset every season. This last season I was on the verge of uninstalling and still am. But because I am reaching that point, I had let my rank slip. I fell down to D1D1. When I placed I was at D3D4. I lost probably half of my placement matches. The ranking system is now designed for the casuals, keep them playing and sell those goods.

Hard reset every season n you’ll be crying that your getting your ass handed to you by last seasons ssl while you get a last season silver on your team. The ranks would be manic if that happened every season. They just need to stop players with more then say 50 mmr difference teaming up in ranked

^ this. In competitive 2v2 and 3v3 need this feature, at least 100-150 mmr max or 1 league difference
GCs can party with C or SSL for example but C and SSL not
Casual is no need and extra modes is debatable

But i think this wont stop creating more accounts cuz game is free, one of the disadvantages of F2P model... Shame that we dont have an alternative game with this gameplay

They had hard reset at first. I was fine with it.

in addition we need "party mmr" so instead of everyone having countless alt acounts for every buddy with different rank the devs could introduce "party mmr". so if you play more often with a certain teammate you make it an official party and get a shared mmr that is kept track of whenever you team up with this one mate. with this you dont interrupt the competetive invironment by teaming up with a lower ranked mate.

This game is literally only queuing me into spanish speaking lobbies today. This isn't a coincidence. Not only is it shafting solo queue with all the randoms, it's also relegating Steam solo queue to groups that they can't even communicate with.

This is just silly.

I gotta say, I miss Solo Standard. Most underrated game mode ever.

I only solo queue 3v3 teams and at higher ranks I do not have this issue. I am in the US and on the west coast. I am always on a west coast server. Check your settings for match maker. You may find a resolution in there. I've had some people who were talking in another language before, but they were slightly bilingual and they were from Brazil. They had a high ping. So they were probably in queue for a while before MM put them into the US servers.

+1.
They say they got rid of it because it always had low numbers, then a little while later made the game f2p and every modes numbers jumped up like crazy so it would of been just fine. Snow day n hoops had just as low if not lower numbers but they kept them crappy modes

Just played my first tournament.

It queues up 2v3 (i'm on the team with 2). We didnt' have 3v3 and then someone quit. It started 2v3.

I go 2 scores, to take the lead 2-1.

My teammate then own goals us to lose 2-3.

This game screws solo queue players gaming from Steam.
