This is something that I have not been able to figure on my own, and was wondering if there is actually a reason why this happens.
In Bg’s there matches where I end up facing the same 3 players the entire match until I die and never end up facing the other opponents who are seem to be at the same health level as I am. I kept facing the top 3 opponents who still had armor.
This does not always happen, but just happened in the match I just finished. And I don’t understand why it rotates like this, or is it really just random?
There’s a sizeable chance the Devs don’t only match players by MMR (a hidden number that shows skill) at the total game level, but also at the individual matches level inside the same game itself.
Hence what you say can happen that way in the sense that most others are more different at hidden-MMR than the others you usually match with.
It’s just conjecture and it might be wrong, but it’s easy for the Devs to code it in the game so it wouldn’t be very surprising if it’s true.
*PS Firestone is misnaming the rating “MMR”, and I don’t mean that number but the truly-hidden MMR, though it’s not too important in this context since they are partly correlated.
