I am absolutely sure that matchmaking needs to be fixed Why? It’s very simple, I’m diamond 1, and if I’m diamond 1, why am I matched with people who are gold 2 or platinum 1? Because if getting a rank doesn’t really matter and they will only match me with n00bs who don’t know how to play to get objectives, then there is no point in playing the rankeds.
Proposal for improvement:
- The matchmaking should be maximum 3 divisions above and below the user What does this mean? That if I am Diamond 1, I should be matched with Platinum 4, 5, 6 and with diamonds 2, 3 and 4. This would solve the matchmaking and make it fair, it is preferable a 5 minutes queue to a streak of defeats thanks to people who don’t know how to play.
- That not only the KDA matters:
For example, if I get matched in a team with n00bs who only kill in fortresses, but never capture points why should the one who loses points be the one who captures the most, but I get the worst KDA for example? Because it has happened to me.
I mean, if a player held the ball for a long time, captured flags or made many captures in fortresses, that effort should be rewarded, and now the game only rewards killing, it doesn’t reward finding objectives. - N00bs should NEVER be matched with hardcore players:
I have run into in practically all my ranked games, newbie players in high elos, I ask myself does anyone get a platinum or diamond? In games like Valorant or CS:GO for example, getting to these elos is an incredible effort, and what I see here is that being a diamond means NOTHING. Honestly, I can’t believe that a n00b who has 50 games, who never captures fortresses, has at most 300 points and the rest have +800 and the first one is around 2000, is in diamond rankeds. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
This makes the multiplayer and especially the ranks, lose seriousness because it is very easy to climb and the worst, you get stuck with people on your team who are terrifyingly bad, however, in the enemy team, everyone works like a Swiss watch.
If we want this game to really succeed, the rankeds should be hard, but fair, as in the rest of FPS Multiplayer games, for example, that the percentage of players in platinum is only 10%, in diamond 5% or less and Onyx that is less than 1%.
However, what I see is that 80% are platinum. The ranks in the end do not mean anything, and they don’t represent how you play, they just represent that you got lucky and got matched up with a decent team, it’s sad, but I see that’s the way it is.
