Have you ever wondered why the matchmaking seems odd?
Well it's because it's a potentially rigged "EOMM" system, not a true skill based matchmaking system.
Win too much, perhaps then you'll be placed in lobbies with a crap team and bots so you may lose. Perhaps they'll also put you against better players with the "P2W" or "fancy skins" in order to try to convince you to purchase something.
Lose too much, perhaps then you'll be put in lobbies with crap players and dumb bots so you may defeat them.
EOMM relies on churn rate and money spent, more so than your actual skill. The idea is that if you win too much, you will quit because of boredom... but if you lose you'll quit out of frustration.
Either way, quitting players make the company less money. The goal is to retain and milk players for as much money as they possibly can.
The ideal matchmaking systems takes into account skill, level, and location.
Nobody wants to be continuously destroyed by sweaty veterans, especially veterans with better weapons.
Most honest players don't want to just pawn noobs all day, they want a fair challenge.
And nobody wants to be lagging around because of bad ping.
Now the rant...
*Lootboxes anyone?*
Notice how many players on YouTube have to spend upwards of $100+ to get a rare skin or exclusive weapon? Or maybe you yourself suffered paying out a lot just to get that prestigious ICR, Locus, or Razerback...
This is not really a good deal, if you think about it. $100+ is enough to pay for many more things of value.
Like for example $100 can buy you a weeks worth of groceries pretty easy in many states in the US.
It can buy you a used flagship phone, and it doesn't have to suck either.
It can buy you quite a few t-shirts, or a nice dress.
Compounded onto this is if the player doesn't like the performance of the said weapons, yet having paid a lot for it.
You can't just buff them and make them better either, as F2P people won't appreciate the P2W, and it might just make them quit. B...
