Matchmaking is absolutely horrible currently

ELO sucks
we need leagues (gold/bronse)

It won’t change a lot. They just need to be more restrictive even if it takes time. I would rather wait 15 minutes for a balanced match than 6 minutes to stomp my opponent or getting stomped.

It will… I mean bronze cant play against gold etc. I think the idea quite clear.
I (1900+) play with 400ELO. My team can win, and can lose BUT 400ELO will do NOTHING.

PS I often wait 15-30 minutes cause some vegetables dodge games. And leave after the start.

This game has the worst matchmaking system I have ever seen. Why do games like this even exist? Every 3rd or so game is imbalanced af. and why are the 2 noobs not separated? This is honestly a joke and makes my gaming experience turn into a pile of trash. So ■■■■■■■ frustrated. Sit in queue 10 minutes only to play this imbalanced ******* game. Devs this is on you and only you.

PS: I hate chat filter. Im not 5 years old and I’m certain 99% of people who play this are 20+ so please remove this dumbass feature in a game that involves slaughtering civilizations. I’m ******* heated right now.

Agree with both.
I am more noob player with 1000 ELO and sometimes I get opponent with higher ELO about 300 rank points and then the game is not fun for both of us as it is certain dominance.

Chat filter is the worst feature ever implemented in gaming. Specific in AoE where almost each message is filtered so you cannot communicate with your teammates. Why they just not remove it if it is bugged ?

Stop mixing 2200 and 1200 elo players in same game. It only results in absolute inbalanced s**t games that just waste time and nobody is having fun.

Drop everything you are doing and do something for the team game match making madness

Issue:

Matchmaking regularly sets up teams of 13/1400 players against 2000+ player teams. It seems there is a bug where the developers forgot to provide an option for players to restrict who they play against. I’m sure they weren’t so absent minded as to forget that forcing low ranked players to only play against high ranked players would kill multiplayer over time. Surely they understand that players would rather wait longer for a good match than lose 90% of matches due to bad matchmaking.

Therefore it must be a bug.

Reproduction Steps:

Here’s how to reproduce the problem:

  1. Form team of low ranked players.
  2. Try to find a ranked match.
  3. Watch as a team of 2000+ players do what skilled players do to low ranked players who should never be matched against them in a non-buggy game.

It is because there isnt enough players, so if your matchmaking goes for long time like 7+ mins. You will que up with almost anyone if You want to avoid this reset que at 5 min or so.

Its especially issue in TG since they arent played that much and you need more players at same elo.
