Please solve the ranked matchmaking, it is very bad, I always get weak teammates and stronger enemy players.
The matches that I get are not balanced at all, this is not fun, please solve this issue.
how inclusive and welcoming
on side note, the fact that matchmaking can match gold and silver players with diamond and conqueror players should by itself be a red flag of system’s flaws as it currently is
Would you prefer less balanced matches but shorter queues, but (often much) longer queues but better matches?
(obviously it’s possible to still get bad matches after a long queue, but “faster but worse” and “longer but better” tends to be the main metrics in affecting results)
lets say it’d be fine by me to have silver be able to match with bronze or gold players, so 1 tier up and down (including all 3 in between in league tiers)
plenty of players in that range to match up
It’s not an unreasonable suggestion. But it would lengthen times. It also excessively impacts those in higher leagues, which means you need more staff to handle smurfing reports (because you know it’ll happen).
You see this when big games see their numbers shrink from “massive” to “still pretty darn big”. Queue times always go up. I saw this with freaking Overwatch. AoE IV’s numbers are good, but in the greater scheme of things r.e. worldwide matchmaking, it’s very easy to constrain matches by imposing rules.
(assuming matchmaking itself isn’t bugged and is contributing unduly to queue times or MMR calculations)
