Well that’s going to be fun if people had friends.

bad excuse for competitive play
Olympic games: hey i’m in high league but let my friend join to me too, who is my friend? well, he is okay, i think… no? why he cannot join? wow toxic

ow community in a nutshell, then everyone surprised about SR manipulators and smurfs there and here

Are you comparing a big sports event of which people compete mostly solo against a competitive game that houses 6v6 matches?

Note that a Masters/GM (Which would technically count as olympic tier skill) cannot queue with Diamond and lower, which already shows that according to your comparison, their system works fine.

That’s a bad comparison.

Just because you don’t have any friends doesn’t make it a reason to make it harder to queue up with friends and increase queue times…

Thats a fine comparison, your friends should not ruin everyone’s experience. The only reason people can play below masters with 1000sr diff accounts are the players, who joined the comp to “have fun” instead of “have good competition”. I do not want to be in same team with a couple of friends where one guy playing at his rank and his another friend sitting in the same lobby with him, trying to adjust his potato gameplay to the level he simply cannot play, because he is 800-1000sr lower than him. Why the team should suffer ? Excuse “just rank up higher to not play with 1000sr diff players” wont work here, it should not happen since the beginning. Insects should play with insects. It also partially fixes sr abuse everyone talked about for ages

From Bronze to Platinum(Borderline Diamond), a 500 SR difference won’t mean much.

I’m assuming that on average there is a difference of 750 SR between some players, which wouldn’t be that bad since the system compensates for that.

Even with just 1000, some ranks overlap into each other (e.c mid Silver and mid Gold can compete with each other to some degree)

It’s not that they’ll slap 4 Silver + 2 Gold together with 3 Plats and 3 Golds.

If someone is grouping up with someone with a higher rank, then it’ll either average out their SR (e.c 2500 + 3000 becomes 2750 SR) or it’ll just put them in the queue based on their highest SR (meaning that if a Gold + Dia groups, it’ll be a Diamond game rather than Platinum)

So it’s not like the game will be unbalanced, same goes with queue’ing with lower ranked players.
Meaning this system prevents boosting, though might make it harder for some teams to win (But again, this is compensated on the enemy team)

Note that a system like this isn’t 100% perfect, this is universal for any game.

“I do not want”
You don’t want it?
Then group up beforehand, you queue’ing into a game with random teammates should not be the fault of the system.

It’s your choice to go into a game with random players, if you suffer from that, then that’s on you.

It isn’t really happening, again the system tries to compensate for it.

If it isn’t possible then either your region isn’t populated or you aren’t playing on hours where there are many players online.

Otherwise this is just the best the system can do, you can’t blame automated systems… you can only do so much with so much data.

And again, it will not easily fix SR abuse because lower ranked players that group up with higher ranks end up in higher ranked games… making it harder to win it.
