long matchmaking times?

[DRunkCoWBoy]

It seems ever since I hit level 10 like 2 weeks ago im just waiting 4 to 5 minutes for a match, and i used to wait like 30 seconds. Am I correct in guessing that its trying to put me up against higher level players and thats why its taking forever?

i think as higher u lvl up you get blocked with waiting times by Matchmaking system. Another reason would be all this deserter guys. Which not press ready. Some of them crash , some of them used to have fun before they go off getting deserter penalty it seems. You have to play Rank mode bro there u have to wait 10mins if you lucky. But its usually more waiting time. Like 10-25 min. Totally annouying. If the game is so succesfull and so many play it like the stats say its hard for me to believe they not pushed these stats. Its maybe called Conter Productive to take actions against Cheat Sites for this reason.

Its horrible....if you have outside the Paladins World a real life its frustrating. Even when u wait about such a long time and u get a Nub Team which even dont know to play Comp and dominate Enemies instead they rush the point and quickly push the payload. 2 mins Match over 4-0. Its so annouying....just trash.

it is getting kind of annoying. I think the first guy was right, because every game you either crush the enemy or get crushed. I cant recall to many close games.

Long match making times that lead to either dominating the other team or getting dominated.
What's the point of doing that if you don't improve the quality of the matches ?

Lag spikes , i get stable 75 ping which is perfectly playable and every 3 minutes i get lag spikes of 150 ping for 5 seconds. I have reported this multiple times, no answer. Others have the same issue as well.

Tons of other bugs that ruin the game ( skye has a visible red outline when stealthed, viktor got his iron sights recoil changed without notice, grover now for some reason deals extra damage to shields , textfield buttons , temp art , ref rewards not being given , crashes etc )

#1 with the last patch OB36 hi-rez tweaked matchmaking... (now we have longer queues with even less quality)
#2 the player base is dieing because people are getting fed up with how bad the matchmaking is among other issues, hi-rez refuses to address

#1 I never had a problem with matchmaking almost all my games are 4-2 at least and the game is not trying to keep you at 50% win rate.
#2 The player base is not dying and Hi-rez is not refusing to address any issues. They work very closely with the community.

150 ping spike BAHAHAHA. Clearly its your net and that's a piss poor ping spike to complain about. Seeing Skye is called being close to her, if she was invisible right next to you it would be nbroken as ♥♥♥♥. Viktor recoil is patch updates since he take no recoil before. And Grover got buffed to damage shields a little better. Honestly it's called balancing and meta change

Iono it makes sense. Before that patch I looked at my game history and had literally won 30 games in a row. Now I win 2 and loose 2 like clockwork almost.

It's definately not my internet, a lot of other people are reporting this issue and every other online game/app i own works perfectly

And yes i obviously know you can see skye when she is near you but seeing her red aura from 20 metres away is not intentional i don't think ( she moves faster and isn't shooting so she is definately in stealth )

It was never mentioned that Viktor or Grover would be changed so....
Needless to say they were a bit extreme with theit "fix" http://imgur.com/a/Ppwsz
You basically HAVE to equip that card and at a high level if you want to fill your role

HiRez has a long history of making poor matchmaking systems in their games. Smite, to this day, continues to shift between your team stomping or the enemy team stomping you. Close matches are always a miracle to treasure.
