TrueSkill2 is plain awful for social

Ever since this new TrueSkill2, the social went down the drain even more.

Here is an example of pretty much every game in Triple Teams I’ve been playing a lot lately.

  • one top guy on each of the team. These get like 20+ KD

  • the rest get rekd by these top guys, with KD anywhere between -6 to -20. Hardly can get any kill at all, get totally destroyed by those top guys.

  • and yet, it’s claimed “each team had 50% chance of winning”, and “noobs get to win more often than before”.

Now let me ask you this: do poor noobs who go down 1:20 actually care that their team won (because there was that top guy who was 36:5)?? Do you think the noobs now enjoy these social games more when they die a lot every time but “their team wins more often”?

I personally don’t care for the win in social, but I do want games where I don’t go down 1:20 every time, which seems to happen now a lot, but was much less so before TrueSkill2.

As for Triple Teams: it’s basically now the battle between top guys in each team, with the rest being cannon fodder and filler.
And I haven’t seen any difference TS2 made in Ranked. I still play against exactly same people in SWAT as I played against last half a year.

Disappointing.
