Players dropping resonance to get better MMR

General Discussion

Hi team, I think the BG matchmaking calcs should also account secondary gems and stats as well. We are currently having issues where whales with HUGE secondary stats and having really high resonance are dropping resonance to gain favourable match making.

At the moment, As I am not dropping my resonance I am the biggest player on the server, I am getting three (around 7-8K resonance with 5-6K armor pen, armor, resistance, potency) in my team vs teams that have 5K Reso players. So yes I am getting the favourable match making and I am not enjoying it (crazy i know.)

This makes the bg games not fun for anyone except for the MMR fixers who are smurfing resonance. Hoping you guys can review this so that the teams are also balanced on secondary stats so that it can be enjoyable for everyone! This is really starting to affect the region we play on. Hoping to get this looked at ASAP.

Is it? According to my clan mate, they did that because it is easier and quicker to find a match with lower reso due to the huge population of low-reso players compared to the big spenders population which is pretty much a minority, thus take longer to find a match.

I know people do the same to climb more easly in ladder. The time to wait for game with high reso is not higher than with low reso because usually you have a mix between whales and middle to low reso players.

In almost every game out there, people have, and always will show the darker sides of human morality and exploit whatever the game allows them to.

This shouldn’t being an issue anymore since Legend rank now outright ignore resonance at one point, so those who are in Legend trying to exploit this will simply getting the short stick here.
