is there a complete mmr reset that happens with each season’s release? just like last season, ive gone from playing with that bubble of the same 40+ players to being matched with a lot of players that are either new or just not very good. as repetitive as it may get, id 1000% rather the former.

im all for new players, but this isnt the type of game where pairing new and experienced players is a good thing.

one thing i realized a while ago with this is that theres a real issue with the skill disparity in this game. a bad player’s “impact” is felt FARRRR more than a good player’s. that bad player will lose you the game quicker than a good one can win it

quickmatch having a leavers penalty doesnt help. im sorry im not staying in a game where my teammates clearly just bought the game yesterday. playing chaperone and trying to clean up every single mistake gets irritating very fast.

bit of a rant, sorry but this is the worst its been. i was excited for the patch but can only stand to play one game

Why doesn't the ranking system match us with equally matched opponents? Let's say everyone is new to the game. Everyone has a fixed 1000 points, and this score increases with each win. When I reach 1500 points, I don't want to be matched with someone who only has 1000 points, because it's not fair. I get free points when I beat them, and they wonder why they were matched with someone who plays well. It's important not to spoil anyone's enjoyment of the game. Let's say I reach elite level and earn 1000 points there, meaning I started with 1000 points and now I have 2000. I also want to be matched with people who have 2000 points.

League of Legends (LoL) had an ELO system; normal and ranked matches had different ELO ratings. Back then, we used bots to check our own ELO. For example, if my normal match ELO rating was 2000, my ranked match ELO rating would be 3000, and in normal matches we would be matched with players with ELO ratings between 1500-2500. The same applied in ranked matches, where we would be matched with players with ELO ratings between 2500-3500.

tripling down on this because its fucking terrible atp. no point in playing if you dont have a squad. im just complaining now but tbh idc this shit is annoying. no one wants to play a game where youre extremely reliant on your teammates if the teammates in question cant even run in a straight line without sliding for no reason.

please get rid of the leave penalty in quickmatch too. that should only be a "ranked" thing
