MrChan 337 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) It exists, but: 1) The playerbase is too small for it to provide even matches reliably. 2) And just to make sure it has absolutely no chance, loads of people intentionally try to break matchmaking to give themselves easy wins.

yood 345 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) both sides of the match break the rules . gold plays below their level , T lv plays above its level . the system cannot create a correct command . Edited September 6, 2019 by olo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wilkesor 11 Posted September 7, 2019 too low of population for accurate matchmaking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lammashta 12 Posted September 7, 2019 Two things: 1. Trainee is not a threat level. It just means the game has not calculated their skill level yet. 2. Matchmaking does the best it can with what's available. When you have a low population and everyone close to your skill either already in a mission or not ready, you're either gonna get new players as opp or no opp at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neophobia 216 Posted September 7, 2019 i bet their sweaty stack just steamrolled them and had a laugh at how bad they were. oh well. 10 hours ago, olo said: can we close the gold in the gold district ? can be a Tlv it is necessary to close in the green area ? in this situation, the players do not fall or rise to one level . they jump through two levels . no. g1 has done this and it already severely hurt the game and population, they reverted it within months (which was quick for them ;)))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhosT 1301 Posted September 7, 2019 yes otherwise you wouldn't be able to play against anyone. when will people understand that you can't actually matchmake with player skill in mind with a population that low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bambola 379 Posted September 7, 2019 I always get more nervous when I am put up against a Trainee than a max rank. Just how many times it happened I decide to go easy on them and end up devastated. Things are not always what they seem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I removed the names and the scores since they are not relevant, except one.. Trainees are not the only players who get bad matchmaking, low level silver players do to. These are the players who are also new to the game but already obtained silver rank! The game actually started as 4 players on our team against 3 on theirs (which was i guess... decent matchmaking). But what happened next, they could call backup and so they did. WHY, where is the logic? Now on why did i leave the score of one of the player on my team visible, because that was his actual score. When i asked him why is he not playing, he answered he's not good enough to play against the opposite team, so we had to play 3 vs 4! I told him to go to bronze after the game, he didn't know how to do it (of course i explained it to him). I meet a lot of low level silvers when i play solo, and a lot of time when i tell these players to go to bronze they ask me why would they do such a thing if they are silver. I have to explain that silver play in bronze and gold play in silver district. When they ask me why is it like this.... i don't have an answer to this question.

But at the end in the last stage (capture 3 points) we had no chance. Sure gold 1 and silver 10 aren't very different, but you are clearly missing the point. New players don't know the map so well, same goes about weapons and other stuff. You can not justified that the matchmaking was ok! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
