is it just me or am i paired against much better players?

[TexasToast]

ive played little over two hours, and yet i keep finding all these people with paid legends and all this crazy ♥♥♥♥ in standard matches. i havnt even bought my own yet. im not saying i get my ass kicked, because i usually either come in second, third, or i tie and end up losing in the tie breaker. i just feel like the people ive played with are already so much more experienced than i am in repsects of how if im not staying tied with them, they dominate the match. it might just be me, but idk.

You are supposed to derank a little.
People around 1200 Elo are either smurfs or are stuck there for quite a while.
Means they may not rank up, but have more experience for simply being there for longer than you.

Yep. Matchmaking is a bit loose, and it allows for people to be matched outside of their rank given enough time.

I take it you are playing the 4 player FFA matches. Those have little if any matchmaking.

I've done a little in both, and it seems about the same outcome

Even in ranked, which has the strictest matchmaking in the game, you'll have to do several matches before the game can somewhat accurately gauge your skill level. I am not sure whether there is any kind of skill based matchmaking in FFA.

Well once Pro people reach their desired ELO and are afraid of loosing it, they play match making games, and either pwn noobs, or find a gud fite, each one is better than worrying about win or less elo...
so if you wanna play peeps with similar skill do ranked, its the best 'git gud' out there

[Karinanima]

As said, play as much Ranked 1vs1 as you can, do not give a fuck if you lose or not.
If you win, you deserve it, if you lose, you still deserve it.
The matchmaking doesn't know you, present yourself, and start from wherever you end up.

it's still rather loose.
~I got two years of experience backing that up.

I tend to have a pretty good experience in experiementals though. Mostly plats with the odd newb.

It depends on how many players are in the queue with you and whether they are near your elo. There is nothing the matchmaking can do to increase that number, it has to work with what is there.
And that is backed up by 1.5 years of experience. I have never been matched with someone more than 200 elo away and even that was extemely rare.

We are not talking about experimental, though. Experimental doesn't have rankings.

I think the highest difference for me was around 400elo.

But...even if its 200 there should be a hardcap in ranked.
Without it elo gets inflated.

Ive rarely seen a consistant skill in ranked. I feel like I randomnly face people of various skill levels regardless of their elo.

This indicates there is a problem. I think its rooted in the matchmaking, but its easy to see how flawed the elo system is in brawlhalla.
