That’s exactly why I hope the devs can improve the matchmaking system to shorten the queue times for players above 2800 ELO. That way, we wouldn’t need to use a 3000+ ELO account paired with a smurf to save time (even though, in this case, our average ELO is still above 2800). We don’t want to use smurf accounts either; we’d much prefer to keep using our main accounts and increase our true rank.

But that has nothing to do with matchmaking
Thats matchmaking working as intended if anything
The system is trying to pair you up against a team of about as equal strength as possible, your problem isn’t the system but you just being at the absolute peak of matchmaking
There’s hardly any 2800+ players in the game let alone queueing at the same time
So in order to still find a somewhat fair matchup the queue takes longer to find players gradually increasing the range it searches at
To increase the chance of better players starting queue
By smurfboosting you’re intentionally finding lower rated players faster and gaining waaaay more points in the process which makes it an unfair marchup way faster
Thats just ruining the game for other people

Next patch I lowered the matchmaking ceiling slightly, which will make queues faster for 2800+ players

The solution is not just “oh you reached 2800 elo you can’t find a game stop playing”. We want people to play the game.
A couple of years ago I went 2.5 hours without finding a game. That’s not a good way to retain players. Like them I had to adapt in order to actually play the game and some changes were made. Since those changes 2 years ago I’ve barely played on my alt account.
So here we are again.
Yes they abused duo. But it got the attention of everyone and now changes are made to duo-ing and matchmaking is lowered.
I’m sure the community will continue to monitor things. If there’s something else in terms of units, masterminds, etc that are abusable. People will use those cheese strategies until they are changed.
