WTF is matchmaking right now

Well and I think such thing shouldn’t be implicated in matches, like having people play due to them having a similar MMR especially that the players don’t know exactly their own MMR. Just keep match making dependent on the rank that we all see and climb on

I agree. I think the devs are TRYING to match tanks and dps so they have even skill, the question is how are they doing it? The answer is by MMR which is a number that is calculated by evaluating the players individual skill (kills, dmg per second, deaths etc)) and those algorithms are terrible, TERRIBLE at evaluating skill. This is why there is such a huge discrepancy between players like you described.

The algorithms are broken and have never worked and it never will work because you can’t evaluate a players impact in a game by looking at their stats, there’s a million different variables that go in to making a player effective.

It wouldnt really change much since both change based on the same metric: wins and losses.
Youd have the exact same games anyway.
It’s just a player perception issue.

Anyways since s9 your rank and mmr are always tied together and you shouldnt worry about it.

that’s why i play mostly qp now( when i play because i don’t play that much now) , i’m done with all the effort you put for winning in comp and the game take it away because LOL and the worst with that is my alt account is placed waaay above my main , so what blizzard , i’m gold/plat/diamond at the same time???

But this season it’s so bad , first season i struggle this much to stay on a positive ratio , there is even a game i wasn’t able to leave the spawn because i was instant killed by a widow if i put a foot outside the spwan

I just had a match which was bronze 3 to plat 5…and I guess I had the bronze players on my team because we got stomped.

So public service announcement. MMR ensures that you have a 50% chance of winning a match. This is why you are experiencing streaks where you win three games then lose three games (as an example), the MMR ensures that mathematically you have a 50% win rate and 50% loss rate. You’ll find that often, if you are winning more games, that your experience for wins is decreased… hence it keeps you at the SR that matches your MMR ensuring a greater chance of a 50% win rate.

My issue is just the matchmaking itself. Right now, I have a negative win rate, and the game is refusing to let it go. Right now, the difference is 13 games, if I even remotely make any win progress closing the gap, I go on an immediate loss streak of unwinnable games putting me right back at a 13-game gap. When I’ve gotten the gap down to just a 6 game gap I go on a 6-9 game loss streak that puts me back at the 13 game gap or slightly over. perfect example would be right now

loss loss loss loss loss loss win loss win loss win win loss win loss loss
11 losses 5 wins like its actually insane to me how rigged this game feels. Like the losses arent even like awe we just got outplayed oh well, no they’re u step one foot on point ur dead instantly type losses and usually end with my team averaging 8 kills total and the enemy averaging like 56

The match maker isn’t responsible for your win rate.

I enjoy the cultists replies. They never have anything to back up their theories.

There is no transparency over the competitive.

The fact that they made profiles private by default, and then proceed to hide everyone’s ranks in the loading screen is already a bad sign, there is no evidence that the players on the match are near my rank, I just need to “believe”.

Also, every time they mess with the algorithm it’s get worse, it seems that they test something to just to find out it was a mistake, and then proceed to make changes over the mistake.

Marvel Rivals needs to come fast… OW needs some competition pressure…

Marvel Rivals is just a different game. It’s not direct competition. But will be competing like every game out there for the same thing.

Time.

But I don’t think OW will worry much about it, as they have their core audience. So will probably only see short term fluctuations.

As someone on twitch pointed out. If it wasn’t for the Marvel name… rivals would just be another Concord. Nothing more than ok, and no real reason to get involved.

Arrge was streaming yesterday and losing in plat. Hes like so this is a Gm5 lobby yet everyone has the plat visual icon. Games busted

That sounds like match making working. If everyone’s gm5 but showing plat.

If it’s found 10 people all in the same situation, then it has done its job.

This comment from you right here encompasses your entire world of misunderstanding. It’s at the center of every bad idea you have.

What happens if 10 GMs are in plat and matchmaker keeps finding 10 other people of GM skill to pit them against? They will never rank up and they will be GM players STUCK in plat. This is what is happening to millions of players, they are diamonds stuck in gold because the game can find other diamonds to place them against, or diamonds stuck in plat, or golds stuck in bronze etc.

You cannot grasp this concept and that is why you will struggle, forever, ironically stuck in your own version of ELO hell but in this case it’s IQ hell.

Given that match making doesn’t use ranks. This feels like you’re trying to fish for a problem where there isn’t one.

These players, will gain more if they win games than they lose on ranked progression, so they’ll be climbing.

Annoying? Maybe for said players.
Actually a problem? No.

Yet here we are with millions saying it’s the worst matchmaking in the history of mankind.

Probably just ole’ HiddenReply, at it again.

Wont do ya no harm, critter’s jest passin on through
