The match making is atrocious

[Mr McRizzleson]

Why is it that whenever I enter a ranked game, it's a gamble as to whether or not I will be paired up with 5 other competent players? And don't get me started on the rank reset. It's clear as day that this match making system is egregious and should honestly be fixed. Every game i play tank, I get duelists who can't aim when I play support, I get tanks who over extend and don't grasp the concept of playing as a team, and when I play duelist, I get paired with a cloak and dagger - who mind you has an auto-aim feature - completely misses me when I'm stood right next to them.

Don't worry, you will get incompetent players sometimes, but they will trash talk you and all act like they are doing the right things and carrying our peasant asses. They will be on defense and stand in the choke and get melted and flanked, then blame you for whatever you picked.

Every time you try to do something smart, it will be seen as dumb when it inevitably doesn't work because everyone else was on defense standing in the choke instead of taking good angles on the defensive side of it or they'll be playing defensive offense and never even trying to engage the enemy. It actually is dumb, because smart things in games like this most often hinge on having a team that can capitalize on those actions.

I mean, trying to do smart things in a dumb lobby can be good if you can communicate it and they are receptive, but most often you just have to find a way to save them from themselves. That's an uphill battle and will far more often fail, but if communication fails it's the only way. If multiple people immediately start off with their superiority complex trash talk while I witness them positioning like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and not putting out any pressure, it's a lost cause.

In a game with 80% of the people below the skill level of what someone would imagine a true Bronze III rank should be, 80% of the people in any given match are going to be clueless unless the devs acknowledge that reality and find a way to skim off 50-80% of those players and put them in their own secret queue.

just dont be toxic focus on yourself and get better, ive had players in silver/gold lobby tell me i will go back to bronze but i reach grandmaster in about 25 hours of playtime which i assume is average granted you have a decent pc with high frames

That's the solo queue experience in just about every game I've ever played. That's pretty normal since the matchmaker cannot read your mind and give you perfect compatible teammates every time, that's just not a realistic expectation if you really believe it should be how it goes lol.

Yeah, I feel you. I been getting many games where my teammates share an IQ of 20
