Matchmaking scripts are a joke

General Discussion

I am tired of this excuse of a game. Every time you have 5 wins the next 10-15 games you receive dead weight for teammates. I would love to help people learn or get underperformers sometimes, but it’s a literate joke.

Forced MMR and matchmaking scripts are too obvious now. I know I will get flame by deniers and Activision nut suckers, but this thing ruins the game. Now in Season 4 I am out for good, I want to play for fun, not to carry a bunch of sad clowns that have no clue how to play in Platinum.

Actual skill diff.

I wonder why most of the MMR complainers are all Low ranked?

Oh, that explains alot.

It’s insane for me right now. I have played every day this week and have 4 wins. Two of them were via drop-in. I went sixteen matches before I saw a full match win. I haven’t been better than 2-10 on my replay board since last weekend. Just get stomped every match.

I maintain a 4 rating in 100% solo play, so I’m not directly throwing or that would vanish. I’m not good, but it’s not unreasonable to expect the lobbies to contain other players around my skill level.

I feel like I just exist to get dunked on by the GM Windowmaker every session…

What counts as ‘dead weight’ to you?

I kid you not. I had a 3-4 winning streak TODAY and it seems whenever you are winning a lot, the matchmaker just throws you into ‘games in progress’ which, usually, are losing games. Mess is mad annoying.

I literally had one where I didn’t even get to see the character select screen before seeing DEFEAT. I’m like, wtf, you are ruining my kiriko’s win rate with this BS.

Just because I rarely leave games and about to reach endorsement level 4 doesn’t mean I want to join losing games. If anything, higher endorsement levels should be deprioritized for joining matches in progress

Tbh,

I’m mid-diamond. My friend is unranked iirc on most roles, gold on tank.

We were getting GM’s/M/t500’s on the enemy team a lot last night… well, at least by title, they might not currently actually be in those ranks.

I personally don’t mind, neither does he really, we prefer it.

Can’t say the same for the other 3 people on our team who apparently love tunnel visioning on the enemy tank.

Op is talking about rigged match making.

Actual match making is pretty bad. Im not denying that. Most people who play the game sees there are some quality issues.

But it’s like 9 steps away from reason when people are claiming rigged MM or force wins/losses or losers/winner Q.

I think it’s part of it though.

I think the MMR just swings too hard on wins and losses, and that the MM in general is patchy on top of that. I don’t like using the word rigged, it insinuates Blizzard knows what they’re doing.

Scripts - nothing more, nothing less

Activision got sued for forced matchmaking in CoD which got buried under the rug due to extensive lobing and people still throw fits it’s not rigged and it’s a skill issue. A skill issue is to not be able to throw a basketball in real life. In online environment everything is scripts.
