QM Matchmaking Rolled Back?

[RavenLenore-1543]

QM has been miserable, the worst possible comps, when before with the release of call of the nexus I’d be getting a tank and healer every single game, but now I’ve been getting this awful onesided comps with 2 tanks or 2 healers, 5 assassins etc etc. What happened?

Just like you said, they rolled it back.

Not to mention the matchmaker expands at 30 seconds meaning you will get wildly awful teams and comps at the 30 second mark (Literally every queue)

Call of the Nexus

With the release of the Call of the Nexus, we have seen a significant increase in match quality (in terms of meta composition) and have ultimately achieved the goal we set out to accomplish. However, we have also seen an increase in queue times, especially in certain regions, which we really don’t consider to be an acceptable trade-off. In response, we are going to temporarily loosen how rigid our rules are when it comes to enforcing meta compositions. Our overall goal with this change is to still create as many standard compositions as possible (Tank, Healer, Ranged Assassin) while also putting the quick back in Quick Match as we continue to make improvements to the system

It abandons it’s core rules at 30 seconds (tank+support on each team, probably winrate estimate in at worst 45-55%).

It gradually lowers and expands it’s parameters over time. “Expanded search” at 31 seconds is vastly different than at 120 seconds.

If I ever have an hour to look back through a group in battle.net social I might be able to find the exact quote. But expanded search expands over time.

I think they should make it his how it is—but I was told that modified player behavior and can create more issues for matchmaking. (If you cancel and request every 30 seconds, you’re making the matchmaker work worse for everyone, btw).
