Fair and Balanced Matchmaking | Forums

GG Ubisoft. Very cool.

And this was AFTER a reshuffle btw. The rep 122 Valkyrie was on my team in the first match while the rep 7 Shaolin was on the enemy team. So not only should the game never be putting below rep 10 newbies in with such a high rep pool but it actually chose to make things even more lopsided in the next match by deciding that one player can make up for three other players on his team while facing a team of 4 players who are equal to just that 1 guy and far exceed the three other players on his team.

This is what Matchmaking based solely on win/loss ratios in a team based game mode looks like. When individual skill is completely ignored by the system you get crap like this where players are carried upwards or plunged downwards through no active use of their own skill level. And it's not like this wasn't staring the developers in the face since the first minute after someone suggested to "make matchmaking based only on win ratio, because hey it works for 1v1s!". Team modes don't work like this. Your system needs to factor in individual performance and not just a blanket win ratio otherwise as soon as a new player wins 4 matches with no loses the system registers them as having a 100% win ratio and boom! It pushes them up to the highest levels of MMR. That is a ridiculous system.

Your system needs to calculate a combination of:
- Individual objective score per match
- Individual KDR per match
- Overall win ratio

This simple concept should not be coming as a revelation in over 2 Years of trial and error.

I have experienced exactly the same kind of matches one hour ago. In breach.
Obviously my team lost.
At the end i had more kills AND more objective than the 3 others all together...

For arround 2 weeks this is mission impossible to find a fair game.

They said they gonna revert to old system with the start of season 10. I just cant wait. This is absolutly terrible at the moment.

The game is a flaming piece of garbage at the moment because of this matchmaking. And I don't throw those kinds of terms around often or lightly.

If they had left Matchmaking as it was from Season 8 and not done anything to it, it would be better than it is now. And that's incredibly sad because matchmaking was not really good back then either but this... this is just unplayable.

I know you are not complaining for nothing usually.

But you have all rights to do so about the MM. This season have been a mess mostly because of that.

They admit themselves in the last den their changes only increased waiting time to find a game and reduce the quality them.. LOL

Previous parameters was not really good but at least it was playable.

Atm i just do my orders and not much more till they change it.

I've got dozens of pics with similar matchmaking. There was a point I'd just keep quitting in the matchup screen because I was so done with being matched up with beginners.

Sorry this set-up made for a frustrating match. The team's already working on matchmaking, but I'll let them know that players are seeing this.

It's made for a frustrating Season as this has become the norm along with extremely long wait times. I really hope the next iteration gives us some balanced matchmaking.

7 minutes in the matchmaking lobby and me a rep 1 Tiandi ends up in this lobby. It's incredibly frustrating spending that long in a lobby to spend the next 20 minutes trying to compete with this lot

I'm with you man. This is just ridiculous.

Here's another beauty. The scoreboard tells it all. That's 4 players of higher skill than 3 of my team. I was the only guy on there that could keep up with the opponents but one man does not make a team. Does the matchmaking recognise this incredibly obvious disparity in skill levels? No. All it cares about is an all-round win ratio.

GG.
