  • **GAME BUILD All builds, AUTOMATCH IS BROKEN!!!
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam / Microsoft Store BOTH!
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10 / Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Mac / Linux ALL!

:arrow_forward: PLAYERS CREATE NEW ACCOUNT EVERY WEEK TO GET UNFAIR MATCHES

ALSO FRIEND TEAM MATCH, PLAY 4 EXPERIENCED PLAYERS WITH 1 OR 2 NEW ACCOUNTS EVERY WEEK TO ABUSE MIDDLE EXPERIENCED PLAYERS

AUTOMATCH MUST CONSIDER WIN RATIO
100% WIN RATIO MUST BE MATCHED WITH POR PLAYERS TILL THE RATIO GET STABILIZED
THAT WAY ARE 0 CHANCES TO SMURF ABUSE

EVERY DAY
50% OF THE GAMES, HAVE SMURF ABUSE, AND FULL FRIEDN TEAM MATCH SMURF ABUSE

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

JOIN AUTOMATCH AND PLAY 10 GAMES, SOON YOU WILL BE ABUSED BY SMURFING

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. JOIN THE POOL
  2. PLAY 10 GAMES
  3. CRY
  4. UNINSTALL TILL DEVELOPERS FIX THE AUTOMATCH SMURF ABUSE!

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

GET ABUSED BY ANY TYPE OF PLAYERS THAT ABUSE SMURFING, IS IMPOSSIBLE WIN IF THE AUTOMAYCH DOSNT CONSIDER WIN RATIO

EXAMPLE 4V4

  1. 2000 5. 1300
  2. 2100 VS 6. 1500
  3. 1900 7. 1900
  4. 1000 8. 1800

ITS SO UNFAIR!!!
THIS OCCUR EVERY DAY!!!
DO YOUR WORK!

There should be a button on the left hand side of your keyboard. It’s called “caps lock.” If you press it, you won’t have to TALK LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. Part of the solution I think is to ban family share accounts from ranked, so it isn’t free. You can also play 1v1s instead if you don’t want to deal with this.

Check out the 1st of Team Game Rank. That guy just team with his friends with below 500 rank

COMPETITIVE AGE IS DIED, SOME DAY, I PLAYED WITH SLAM AND WIN, BECAUSE FULL FAIR MATCHES LET YOU LEARN FROM OTHER AND BETTER PLAYERS, THIS DAYS SOME CHEATERS 4 SMURFS FORCE ME WITH 900++ TEAM.

THIS IS DE BIGEST PROBLEM OF COMPETITIVE AGE.

Is a shame developers dosn’t listen to comunity, the most played game of AOE, is in danger, competitive scene is absolutly ruined.

Totaly agree, 70% win games must be matched with very high elo players, to discourage all smurfs, so they can’t get their goal, get a lot of unfair matches and overated other cheaters friends.

Hey guys, Are you happy that 16xx vs 3.5k games ? Rated system should be limited for -100/+100 points or -150/+150 ratings and win/lose ratio (I meant 20 wins 1 lose 18xx ratings not equal on all 18xxs’ ratings)so It’II be very fair for all plus, smurfs effort will fitule with this way, so everybody focus on game playing no fack up beginner or noob games. or If Developers love the money and this is the ‘‘main’’ point on it, so… there is a solution about that too, All team game rates are opened for lobby games like 1v1 or team death match games like voobly’s rating system or zone’s rating system like back in the days. People won’t be serious on lobby games because of no rated. So, It’s easy to match and save time plus, people can focus game ‘‘seriously’’ than this.

But then if people want to play as a team, they probably all have to create a new account, so that the elo scores are similar, so this seems more like it increasing smurfing, especially for people who aren’t smurfs already, which is a really bad outcome if you ask me.

Yes so the family share and the elo score must be fix simultaneously. And in fact it should

Please have a look at my old topic about data driven elo analysis to improve Smurf detection and new player ranking.

I’d love to get more feedback there
