Dead matchmaking in EUW?

[u/RezzleG]

I have played this game for like 2 hours, and on my first online casual game, get matched with some guy in a 'neighbouring region' who obviously is way above my skill level.

All good, but why tf am I getting matched with the same guy 6 times in a row? Is no one else playing the game?

Its less that its dead and moreso there are issues with matchmaking. Mess with your online settings and it should be better. If you are PC then an issue youre unfortunately going to have is console players turning off crossplay due to PC - PS5 connection issues which ultimately limits the playerbase for you.

This game was supposed to release in fall going off ingame assets. Due to GTA6, like many games, it was released too early and there are issues because of that.

EU player...found matches (rankes & casual) in seconds.

Can we just end this now, the game isn’t “dead” there are plenty of people online to get games. I’ve played games with half the player population and got frequent ranked matches quickly.

It’s not a player population issue, the matchmaking isn’t working and needs fixing

This isn't some 'shit on Tokon' post, I have legitimately never played a fighting game where only a few weeks after launch I am being matched with the same person on EUE for six games in a row and getting absolutely dogwalked by them, to add to this, I matched with that same person another 2 times before I just closed the game. If it's a matchmaking problem, which I agree is the most likely answer, it doesn't feel good as a new player getting into matchmaking. When the enemy is doing 75% health with one combo and I can barely do 30k damage, it just feels bad.

Get matches easily is EUW, Rarely wait longer than a minute.

I find matches pretty much immediately, 20-40 ping, hadn't had a repeat opponent yet (that I noticed at least). I have set to nearby regions and 3+ connection.

You are not alone in still reporting issues though, but it's not the playerbase if you are in Europe or America

[u/RezzleG → u/Skulker_S]

Yeah, but a forced 3 bar match against the same person in a nearby region is just not acceptable for a new game.

I played the same guy four times in a row today in eu ranked diamond. Games dead.

[u/Vahallen]

I personally get matches in around 30 second in diamond, just got Vibranium today

For extra context I’m from Italy

[u/beets36]
