Player matching is an absolute JOKE!

[Grey-Beard]

I am fairly new to these type of games, and all I can say is that player matching is ridiculous.
As a new player, I find myself constantly matched against master players and absolute champions of the game and it has completly ruined this game for me.
I would of been more than hapy to spend money but it's pointless when all that happens is defeat after defeat after defeat after another f****** DEFEAT!
Can you guys balane the player matching so that I am actually playing aginst other new players instead of people who have pro-league status and level IX god mastery.

Honestly, I have never played a game that is so unfairly matched and team stacking is honsetly, words cannot describe, every game I get into, I am on a team with new people (fair because I am new) the other team will have, 2 maybe 3 pro leagues and a few players with multiple god masteries ranging from III right through to IX

Game is awesome besides the fact if you're new, don't even worry about this game, all you will do is get frustrated

The matchaking is totally broken, it usually matches random players vs premaded teams... at last this was my experience this whole week ( i started 1 week ago)

i have experience from other mobas, but the people they put on my team usually thinks they can tank 3 players at the same time

The best is to try to find friends to play it, or you get trolled by matchmaking

well early game premades have a hard time findng other premades of the low level, once you put like 20 hours in the only time you see premades is if youre in one yourself or if youre on a huge winning streak

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tell me about it mate .... 90% of time , im the best one in my team. The game ALWAYS puts me in a team with braindead-people. I always give try my best, I usually have most kills , most damage , and not many deaths. I try to communicate , I try to work out tactics , I try to help these players and give them hints about how they should play... but nothing. Nothing works. They feed , they dont speak english , they understand NOTHING... 9 matches in the last 2 days , and I have won 1. ! 1 game out of 9 ! How is that matchmaking ? How is that fair ? This game is so much freakin fun, but the matchmaking completely destroys everything. Im getting sick of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. 1 out of 9 matches where im always the best in my team is NOT matchmaking. Please , for the love of god , please tell me that im not the only who experiences this ? Anyone else ?

I doubt it, MOBA is the current big thing and I suspect it will be here for awhile. The matchmaking is crap but as much as we can pretend otherwise, most matchmaking in games is crap. Only one I can think of as being somewhat decent was Guild Wars, that had some immense PVP.

MOBA only popular for kids, real men play RTS

You disgust me.

Unlike what someone said in another topic ("it's only gonna get better"), it's actually getting worse the more I play.

4 wins and 15 losses and in most games that weren't complete stomp fests, my kda was above 2 (i.e. 14 out of 19 games) if not higher.

I mean I'm still starting out with smite so it's understandable that I'd be losing the first games but, the differences in teams have been overwhelming.

E.g. during my last game, first time playing arena against people.
The enemy team went to finish off jungle creeps in unison while my team stood around the spawn only to engage in a slow 1 by 1 feeding strategy.
While the enemy team just kited most of my team to oblivion my team did what every newbie would do, over extend and die or go against greater odds alone (actual newcomers against 'experienced' players).

Mostly I've played conquest or siege and similar things happen there.
My team does newbie things while the enemy team seems to be fully aware of what's going on.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying I'm even close the photon that bounced off of the glorious sheen of an average player but, I just don't understand how and why the enemy teams are constantly significantly more experienced than mine.

IF the matchmaking was random then I would have around 50% win rate at the least yet it's around ~20% now so it's more like the mm is fully conscious and conspiring against me.

Btw, the winrate, the number, isn't important to me but, what the number represents.

Btw2, do suggest wth I should do. Pick only from the "op" god pool? Never buy boots? Buy more wards? Feed to get balanced games? I really don't know what I'm supposed to do.

If you need someone to help you get some victories or at least make you play with people more experienced, and with some knowledge. Feel free to add me if you want. Anyway, it will get better after you hit level 30

Do Joust. Do Joust till you find a hero you like. This is what i have done.

Now i main Aphrodite, Bellona, Sol, and Cabakrakan. It's good to continually play a hero you enjoy, once you feel you have 'mastered' it, and you can then go onto Siege.

DONT EVER GO INTO CONQUEST AND TAKE THOSE INSULTS FROM THOSE MOTHERF*CKERS. THEY ARE BUNCH OF POS AND HALF OF THEM DONT FOLLOW SIMPLE PRODURES AND AUTOLOCK CAUSE THEY ARE A BUNCH OF ...

Seriously. Don't think Conquest is for the 'elite' You know what elite? Losing a Joust and coming back after 50min of back and forth (Same for Siege). Conquest is a cess pool. I only started doing Ranked Conquest because now im good, and know what my heros role is, or my role they want me to play (because f*ck you autolocker).

What is your "level"?

I personally would only swap between Siege and Joust - not only are the way more fun than a 45min "YOU SUCK QUIT LIFE ♥♥♥♥♥♥" fight with some idiot on Conquest. Siege and Joust IMO have the healthy playerbase of Smite.

Also, it does not hurt at all to add someone who was kind to you, or even did really well. Always ask for help if you don't know what buiuld to do, what lane, who to play etc. Most people will want to help oyu.

But like i said, ignore the idiots of Smite. They are the minority, and they speak the loudest.

Matchmaking can be painful at times, and it can be frustrating when you are trying to collect exp and worshippers. Game is half way broken lol

Well my thought on poor matchmaking....it is a business practice...people will spend more time on Smite servers, which is a benefit in multiple ways. The more time you spend playing, the more likely you will invest in certain items, not including how much they rack on player-on-server time. There are ways to improve matchmaking dramatically, yet those steps are ignored for obvious reasons to few.

Still not a horrible game, fun sometimes.

Its funny the other moba I play I have around a 50 percent win rate on average if you add up all maps in casual match making. It varies from 44 to 58 percent but it averages out to around 50 percent of the games. Maybe its too much to ask for with the player base here but how is it that that game gets it as close to even and this game will literally hand you mismatches for days.

Its honestly not about if I get the W or not and more about what kind of game it is. Stomps are common in smite especially in conquest. Like others have said avoid conquest play joust or siege the lower number teams make what you do matter more which helps a bit.

Dude, i can absolutely feel and agree to your pain!

First of all my ign is "Yodenko" and i'm playing this game for almost 3 years now. I'm in Plat V in league and i think i'm a pretty decent player. But matchmaking is so terrible atm. I mostly queue with a friend who plays support (i'm adc). We usually win our lane. But recently it changed in the was that we get pushed out in our lane frequently. It just feels like playing against a whole different skill lvl. And yes, we manage to defend if we rly want to. But if our mid laner died 5 times in 3 minutes, thats just rly depressing. I dont want to blame anyone i just think that players are unfairly matched. And what u are describing is exactly that what i'm witnessing. I/we almost get rather unexperienced players in team with not a single league match played, while there are diamond players in the other team. And this over and over again. So my honest advice ist not to queue Conquest atm or even queue at all and wait for season 3. It seems like hirez is done with this season. Over all they are doing a great job but i just dont like to play smite atm. Sure there are lucky guys out there who are queued in the "winner" team. Sure they write stuff like "your just bad" and this even gets u more depressed.

I went on a 9 loss streak last week myself. Every single game was a stomp. Kept getting pitted against full clans no matter what mode i seemed to pick or people with Diamonds. Ive got a few hundered hours in myself so im not new but each of these games were against people clearly well out of my play level. I always have at least one friend in party with me but its getting to the point now where i dont even want to play. Im tired of playing games where its curbstomping your teeth out or its pathetically easy. Just spent an entire game in the death screen since my Cabrakan kept getting locked down and our Guan Yu didnt have a clue what he was doing. A whole team focusing a Ra for an entire game is far from fun. I want to keep playing but its getting to the point where the only reason im playing is because i spent some money in it.

Last night was a 6 loss streak before i said f*** this and quit playing for the night. I dont even play conquest anymore because im tired of playing with the autolocks, the flamers, the trolls, the people who dont communicate at all, the kids who just drool on the screen instead of playing and the MLG PRO scrub who goes 1-16 but wants to tell you how bad you are at the game and how its your fault he died and fed the other team a win. I love Smite i do. Ive had a blast with this game but lately its getting harder and harder to want to play it with it this constant influx of crap and being forced to play people far out of my skill level. Hope your experience changes man.

[goblin]

I agree that matchmaking is bad.

[Dogo]

I started playing 3 days ago. Since my very first game, I get matched with golds and platinums. Does the game actually think that I can win? I'm from Argentina, I don't know if it's my region's matchmaking that is broken or what is it. But this is real, I started playing with 3 friends of mine because we love the gameplay and it's a really cool looking game. When you are new to a game and you play it with your friends, that's the most enjoyable part of it, learning all together and getting better. But no, this game is not that case, because we keep getting matched with people that already know the game and we can't even try. I really want to get better, but i just can't. It looks impossible for us to win.

You want to win? Play coop vs bots. You want to learn? Losing is a good start.
