The only game I won, the enemy team had a quitter so it was 3v4.
I have played about 6 hours of keyboard and mouse gaming in my life. Trueskill2 is moving mad if it doesn’t let you have two different MMR rankings for the different inputs. This was the same on MCC. You would literally have to create a new account to be able to practice the opposite input. To explain how screwed my team were, I can’t pick up a flag without looking at my keyboard 50% off the time.
They basically inserted me as an Onyx level player in the matchmaking process (as that’s my controller level) so clearly my team could not win as not only was I playing like a newborn foal, the enemy team had a high level Onyx player to balance against me so the teams were always lop sided and my team were struggling because the system expected me to lift them up.
Why can we not have different hidden MMR scores based on input?
In the meantime, I would recommend getting more used to m&k in the other games before continuing in ranked. I understand it’s not the same mode, but you’ll at least get more accustomed to the input.
It’s difficult as even with many hours I’ll doubt I’ll ever be at the same mechanical skill level with a keyboard as I am with a controller. I have been controller gaming for 25 years.
Unless I use two separate accounts, the game will not let me use a keyboard fairly and match evenly with similar opponents. I would love to see that change so I can play with it on my main account.
Same thing happens in quickplay, just a tad less aggressively. I’ll probably have to exclusively practice in custom games.
For not being used to MKB and probably being matched against good players that’s not too bad so congrats anyway.
I was really hoping to have a different rating in playlists, mostly because I want to play the “open category” with some friends which are quite awful so I hoped we might get a combined gold rank instead of bronze and diamond.
I’m very curious about next games will treat you. It could be infinite still wants to boost you to your hidden rank, or it realises that you can’t keep up yet and shuts you down.
So please share the results of your next games.
Yeah I’m interested too, I’m really not sure. Technically the system would want me higher based on my knowledge of it so can I keep losing and not losing rank as long as I keep performing on controller in between (in entirely different modes)?
Bizarre system. This is why I can’t enjoy Action Sack.
I’m not gonna deny it’s based on personal score but the system is broken. I’ve gone negative (K/D only) and still ranked up for whatever reason. I’m also stuck in Diamond 1 and got ranked into Diamond 1 eventhough my performance was horrible.
Yet I had matches where I’ve gone positive and won the match as well, no ranking up (progress bar didn’t move at all).
