RANKED - There is a sure way to solve the 'Is Marvel Rivals Rigged?' question

[AAAkaneAAA]

I want to open up the discussion of what constitues hard evidence for or against rigging, as, being a former Overwatch (and World of Tanks) player, this inevitably becomes a hot topic which players get heated about, and rightly so. If a game is competitive, competition means nothing without a fair matchmaking which treats players equally. I want to propose 2 methods which would get some meaningful clarity on whether you matchmaking experience is a rigged one.

1. Do you win your first game on a new day? This is the weaker method but has solid reasoning behind it. If you win the vast majority of your first games over a large sample and also other people can show this, the likelihood is that the matchmaker deliberately skewers the matches without telling you. This doesn,t of course, tell you if it is doing it for the rest of your games, however it DOES tell you that rigging is part of the algorithm. Furhtermore it tells you that Netease is not open or communicates its rigging to players, which then calls into question the integrity of the company and the ranked experience.

2. This is the more robust method: multiple accounts. In a rigged matchmaking, if you play the same characters in the same way naturally on 2 or more different accounts, and you are getting hard stuck in very different ranks over a large sample size, that essentially is proof enough that the system is rigged. For reference to overwatch and similar mechanics, this video below showed someone do this method to prove that the matchmaker integrity was entirely a lie:

Obviously if someone can be hard stuck in different ranks, then the rank difference between people, using the same system, is meaningless, and hence the whole experience is a lie.

Just wanted to put this out there and also ask, does anyone have any other known methods for working out whether they are artificially being manipulated in a ranked experience?

For the good of the player base, and for the protection of the gamer.
