Matchmaking Broken

[JohnShepard]

This is the worst matchmaking system I’ve ever experienced. It’s so obvious how it works, and it’s incredibly frustrating because success often feels out of your control. As a healer, I frequently end up with teams that have no effective DPS, and it shows—my teammates often have negative scores, even in my rank.

In my opinion, the ranked system is completely broken. My longest losing streak is 16 games, dropping me from Diamond 3 to Platinum 3. It’s ridiculous how much of a gamble this system feels like.

I'm constantly being matched against people's smurf accounts with 85%+ win rates, meanwhile thanks to that and the teammates I get on average, my own win rate is less than 40%. I was in Silver for a day and now I'm on my way back to the very bottom of Bronze 3 at the rate I'm going. I'm losing motivation to play the game anymore and I certainly don't intend to give them a cent of my money if I can't even reach Gold 3 and get the damn skin for the season AGAIN.

Unfortunately most mp games have rigged EOMM. I had the same annoyance in Rocket League, LOL and so on... You can't win too much, game has to keep you around 50% win rate, often making streaks like playing on slot machine...

What's even worse is adding bots... It's very noticable... Bots don't do anything useful and match is ending at 1st stage, cause they act weird... There're so many players and adding bots it's the perfect way to kill your own game... Splitgate was killed that way as people were annoyed by being forced to play with bots...

The matchmaking for the most part is not as broken as people think. The issue the game has is the insane amount of cheats plaguing it that are going undetected bc people dont pay attention. I logged on today to 8 more notifications of cheaters being banned. That brings my personal total up to 19 in the month that I have played. If I have seen that many and got them banned as 1 person you can be sure the cheating problem is way bigger than people understand.

Every 2-3 game i lose im matched with bots.. im geting realy flrustrated.. in this matches i always get normal team.. Who pick atleast 2 healers.. Then i match vs players.. and Here we goo.. im solo healing 5 dps and they cry why we lose.. XD Funny.. but then again "normal game with bots" cause of lose.. wtf is this.

Those saying "play as a team" are wrong, it's not an argument. It's not a crime not to want to. It should be a crime to force someone to.
If say you are a strategist and you get top heal and/or top assists the way this SHOULD be done is you should be prized with other top players that say have top damage other top heal, top damage absorbed etc.
The game should reward you for doing your job, not the other way around.
This could at least be mitigated if say you are SVP or top whatever you get a defense to not losing ranked points, cause YOU didn't lose.
This seems like a welfare system "oh I am going to put this horrendous player with the good player".

Can we ask why a five stack isn't allowed in competitive? Kind of retarded to limit people who may have been used to 5v5 (not uncommon) matchmaking because a five member squad trying to queue together is scary to you.

It is because of EOMM. Team or no team you will often have the same result unless you're smurfing in a lower rank than you should be in.

...except the leaderboard's replete with examples of people having win rates over 67% across a sample size greater than 200 games played?

If "EOMM" worked the way you think it does, that would be impossible. Would it not?

its still possible if youre extremely good and can carry your teams, but that is not majority of players. There is no denying EOMM is in this game at this point. It is out in the open.

Those are most likely premade players. If someone is playing in a team, winrate is much higher, as game has limited options to manipulate matches.

I think I just found the perfect video that goes over and will probably answer most, if not all of these topics directly as to why they're having issues in games, ranked specifically:

I've gotten this exprience from just about every single matchmaking system in games since Halo 2 on the original XBox. It's never been good in the first place.

This is why I party up with friends, instead of randoms being tossed on my team I pick friends instead who I've played with and know their reliable. It completely fixes this problem and the more friends you have the better chances for better matches going forward.

I queue with a group of 6 and its worse we either get a hacker or outclassed by a ridiculous amount at the same rank (smurfed) its RNG what teammates you get any less either everyone wants to be the main character with an ego or healers trying to DPS or no tanks it feels against the playerbase a SBMM system could solve this but SMURFS exist and people de ranking to play with friends been playing for 30 days and have yet to reach gold bronze is a joke and silver is full of hackers smurfs or genuinely bad players its worse than bronze
