So the regular ranking system is broken but it’ll get fixed. My issue is with True Skill, not the system (which is evidently working find) but it’s appearance in everything!
Even in ranked, the game doesn’t seem to search by rank, rather it searches by true skill. This sucks. The whole point of bringing back the ranking system was because it worked better at matching players than true skill ever did. I’m a level 3 now playing games as hard as they’re going to be at level 40…that’s just messed up.
I hate true skill in this game. I want to be able to play casually but every game I get into the average K/D is well over 1.5, normally 2, and it’s just too intense sometimes. Normally I love it, especially in ranked, but in social I want to be able to just take it easy and not die every three seconds unless giving it my full concentration.
Don’t get me wrong, True Skill is working fine, but it’s the lack of ability to get away from competitive matches that irks me here. Besides, the original ranking system did a good enough job of making matches fair, True Skill shouldn’t be layered over the top of it, it just gets in the way.
Finally, I am sure this is going on; odds of it not, after seeing the stats of the players I’m up against, are phenomenally low now. Anyone who’s fairly decent will have probably noticed the difficulty of their matches going up and up in the last few days. I certainly doubt I’ll see a hues again in the next 50 matches, but I was seeing loads at the start.
