Are we ever going to see mm balance addressed? Tired of highest mmr getting paired with the teams.
No we dont need balance, we need 0min gg fast game.
That doesn’t really sound like fun.
It feels like the game is right back where it was in 2020.
Multi-accounting to boost main accounts is back, and so are the endless leavers. Great… let’s destroy the game even more.
People kept complaining about queue times, and this is what we get instead? A matchmaking system that’s falling apart again. I’m getting matched against players at 400 MMR . This is going to be interesting when people start realizing what they traded shorter queue times for.
The average player is going to pay the price because 2 high mmr players complain about their que time, instead of fair matches, we’re getting smurfs, boosted accounts, and completely unbalanced games.
I’ve already had around 8 games where someone left because they didn’t get matched into the same game as their main account that they want to feed. That ruins the match for everyone else before it even starts.
Queue times matter, but match quality matters too. If the solution to long queues is bringing back the same problems the game had years ago, then nothing has really been fixed. We’re just repeating the mistakes of the past.
The current MMR cap is way too large.
I’m getting matched against players with 5,000 MMR one game and 400 MMR the next. As a 3,000 MMR player, neither of those matchups makes any sense. How is that considered balanced matchmaking? (4v4)
This doesn’t really affect the players above 5k MMR . They get easy wins against lower-rated players, while average players have little to no chance in those games. The people who suffer are the majority of the player base.
It also doesn’t make sense that the opinions of 20 or so players above 6k MMR seem to outweigh those of the 500–1,000 average players who make up most of the community.
The MMR cap needs to be much tighter. Fair matches should always come before shorter queue times. A 3k player should not be matched against a 5k player or someone at 400 MMR. That kind of matchmaking isn’t competitive, and it isn’t fun for anyone involved. except for does that loves attention for their perfect stats than a good game
imagine they just made WC4
I mean, ther’es no way to prevent this. But if anything there is less of this than before as people can’t just generate new CD keys to use on new accounts. They have to actually buy the game (which some people do, of course, but Blizz gets money from that and it means you have to be more determined than you would have to be otherwise)
Not always, unless they can force other players to leave so they can play the whole team by themselves, which certain posters here are known to have done before.
High MMR players can get matched with low MMR trolls who ruin games, you see people complain about this all the time. Everybody loses here, not just average players.
The real issue is Blizzard doesn’t do much of anything to maintain competitive integrity in their games (except maybe overwatch, but even that is somewhat questionable ) - But no one benefits when the trash isn’t taken out.
Do you really think anyone is happy with the current matchmaking where 9 out of 10 games are played with 200-400 ping?
Most teams are basically made up of three clowns, and on top of that you can still run into a 2k MMR teamkiller. Yesterday I played 20 games, and in about 90% of them the other side was already GG within the first 10 minutes. What’s even worse is that their ping was perfectly fine.
I guess maybe only players from the USA or Asia are happy with this system, since Blizzard seems to love putting them on their own servers anyway. 
My average 2v2 experience: beginner ally who just bought the game vs asian AT team on their own server on which I have 400ms+
but hey it’s all good as long and B2W.Neo and Grubby aren’t impacted
Haha, at least for me, there are more USA AT, and fewer Asia AT, while European servers game are practically nonexistent.
This hasn’t really been my experience, so yeah, while I can complain about some other things, I have no issues related to ping.
