For some reason Matchmaking will add a Diamond player to a team with 0 Diamond players. Then Matchmaking will consider that a ‘team’ and match that team’s highest tier player with what ever Division the player is on.
Example:
Diamond + Ruby + Ruby + Ruby + Ruby
vs
Full Diamond Team (matching that 1 Diamond player above)
So.. this leads me to believe that matchmaking picks individual players to a team 1 by 1 rather than picking players in a division Pool (picked by mmr in a certain division), then dividing them up on each team based on mmr (or class stacking, which ever has higher priority).
The above 1 by 1 matchmaking “glitch” is why certain players tend to be on the exact team of people they played with the previous game… because they ended the match together and queued at the same time thereafter, essentially letting matchmakimg pick them back up 1 by 1… instead of picking them as a Pool and dividing them up thereafter.
So either the above is happening as described, or matchmaking really is dividing players up in their division “pool” and its working as intended… thoughts?

I can set the CPU to 6 and occasionally defeat even Rashid in training mode so I know I’m at least decent. There are times when I could get a perfect KO in survival mode and only lose because I don’t have a good health refill option.
Looking at the picture I can identify my mistake: I was too stingy with my V-trigger so even if I started with bad HP and where Ryu’s HP bar landed if I went into v-trigger I’d have gotten in those hard hitting combos and on stage 26 he’s quite aggressive.
Why do I mention this? Because my standard of play is higher than T2 sapphire. Then again where we land at the end is accurate not where we are now and there are so many factors to consider for accurate placement.

That doesn’t pertain to a single point this thread is trying to make… i’m talking about how matchmaking is picking pools of players on a team not… .. what ever it is your talking about.
15 pips difference unfortunately crosses divisions. So those ruby players you had might have Ruby T4/T5/T6 and opponent Diamond T1.
It’s not 15, its +/- 7 pips.
And i’m fine with either-or but i’m curious how this explains why players are constantly being matched with the people from their previous game. Which isn’t a bad thing mind you, as the team u were on previously can be good and you’d want to keep them. It’s just… it’s either matchmaking grab a pool of players and splits them on separate teams to balance mmr or it’s picking players 1 by 1, placing them on a team in a first-come first-serve basis.

I thought I was posting in another thread, sorry about that. Point was reasonably good players are stuck in lower divisions. I suppose some MMR ranges have a high end with a lower end correlation like top 1000’s stomping on the top 85-99 bracket while the top 60% bracket stomps on the lowest 20%. That’s just an example but is how seeding in tournament works. The top two won’t face each other in the opening rounds and the first seed won’t play against the 16th seed but against the 9th assuming it’s a 16 man tournament. Number 1 faces number 9, number 2 10, 3 11, 4 12, 5 13, 6 14, 7 15, and the 8th best would face the worst (16th) so maybe the matchmaking here works the same way but with percentile brackets?
