Update Showdown match making.
What the hell is going on with this? I was 250ish in the Ledegends in the first season. I was frequently matched with somebody were the games would be great back and fourth. And winning and loosing would come down to the wire. But now I started the 3 free matches and one extra, and am getting hammered.
Its ridiculous, what did they change? Everybody I'm playing against takes off so fast I have no chance.
And one player is my friend, I compared our leaderboards and he is in the top 40-500 on each track. While I'm between 6,000 and 15,000. Incredibly unfair, out of 12 tracks i own 1, for now.
I was reading somewhere else to wait a few days for the rank 14s to do there own thing, but the seasons only 20 days long, so then I'll loose out and season prizes. As to the 60 days + what almost another 20 days added? I can in to the season later after being away for some time and just made it to legends in the last 5 days.
What's going on ubi/redlynx? Its kind of a bummer.

I'm not sure they changed anything. I was usually anywhere from legend rank 13-36 during season 1, and I was constantly matched up with pretty much anyone. I would get legends near my rank and better, legends in the 100-600 range, and even people ranked non-legend 1-5. I didn't notice any pattern. You might have just gotten unlucky man, it is still Day 1 (assuming you are on Android).

match making is indeed different, I believe they match a lot closer now, possibly only two rankings apart

1. The problem of matchmaking might be in availability. It should choose from those who are willing to start a showdown at the same time, so you would not wait for 1 hour or more for best match.
2. As more as you play showdowns, everything should even out - you'll end up at position related to your skill level

Can't really have it both ways though. You can't expect the matchmaking to match you with whoever is available at the start of the season, then sunddey start matching by rank beyond a certain point. I think the matchmaking is as good as it's going to get. Perhaps every once in a while you get people who will hammer you, but on average it's people I have a fair challenge from. If this isn't the case for you then wait a few more days to let the higher skilled people rise up and the people that are more your skill level catch up to you.

I think they definitely changed something. Waited for my matches to end, claimed results, waited 40ish minutes. Started new(normally at 11am Est, so now almost noon when I started new) same deal, getting hammered with 0 chance. And not to mention they paired me with the same person on my friends list. Its stupid.

Thats because all the legends were rank 14 and as rank 10,you will get matched with legends only and that too between 8 to 12, i am sure that they narrowed matchmaking ranks,i didnt get any guy below rank 16 as rank 14 myself,season is too short i don't expect it too make it to this time :3
