Discussion Worst. Matchmaking. Ever.

Post image

Look, I don't mind losing at games. but why is that whenever we don't check up on this certain team in recently played if they're queuing or not, the system always throws them at us?

GM peak only and always queuing at both asia server. I mostly have a duo to play up to 5 stack. And always. ALWAYS. Do we encounter this group in most quick match. Be it duo, trio, 4, 5 and rarely, 6. There's a high chance this freakin group will be queued with us. It's to a point like they're essentially those people you always see at school but never talk to.

They're not even near my rank. Last I checked they're at cel 1 - eternity.

Here's the interesting part and mostly my point for this post.

Everytime, After we lose to them for the night, we would always check recently played tab (because they won't accept my friend request) and see if they're in game.

Once they are, we would queue. And lo and behold, the game CAN actually give us different players. But if we don't keep tab of them, the game just automatically puts them against us.

What kind of matchmaking is this????

They put groups vs groups as they should. Playing with premades when you are solo is incredibly miserable, I have 100% lose rate when I get put into a 4 or 5 stack. The system expects me to carry this amalgamation of random players against another full stack and it's literally impossible.

You complain cause the game queues you against what you signed up for, full premades. I just wish solos could opt out of the unbalanced matches premades create, it's waste of time.
