Whatever algorithm you are using now is as bad or worse than last season. The profession stacking and ridiculously unbalanced teams by skill is terrible so far.
Come back next week, you will have a 50% win rate.

yup me….make it easy.
all the teams are composed by players with the same mmr, then the teams are paired randomly.
so all the matches are totally unbalanced.
so if me with 950 mmr and you with 1050 mmr start a game, you get 4 1050 i get 4 950 then the match start, and soon it end
Matchmaking really bad for me too for solo playing today. Matchmaking system puts me in team with 4 peoples that somehow got to Sapphire but doing 0 damage and just low for that Division. Its as bad they can’t win a 2v1, 3v2 3v1 etc. while i geting rekt 1v2 1v3. so there are 4 peoples from my team to win and cap points against 2 or 3 and they can’t do it ! Some how enemy team get 5 players together that can play and know how to teamplay. A lot of games feels like im playing a single player game. I don’t need teammates to get rekt whole game trying alone to defend close or take something.
I am ruby and playing alts for fun, yet get stuck facing Wakky/Sonfish duo q a total of 4 times. One of those times they had Ostrich Eggs as well. My team has players that still go beast before keep. More than that the profession stack between teams make no sense. This new system is catering to the pros and letting them steamroll solo q.
Yes, it really is terrible. I haven’t gotten out of Amber yet because I can’t bother at playing more than an hour or 2 a day, but I’ve done over 10 games and the result is always the same. Stomp or get stomped 500-100.
Matchmaking today: I’ve won most matches i’ve played got to Sapphire t2 and most of the time getting people that somewhat useful, trying to do best even if not winning a fight, but not getting totally rekt in second. helpful or skilled. Btw i liked the system in that popular MOBA where you can rate players. Give them honored, friendly and they get rewarded. People that afking, give up the match or a beginner bot is even more useful can be dishonored by other players. so if dishonored player get many dishonor from players he drop division or some other penality. Lets say the dishonor vote from player are only enabled from Sapphire Division. Honored and friendly enabled in all Divisions.
I dropped a game yesterday, but aside from that winning games is generally fun.
Won’t know what real matchmaking is like for a couple of weeks. I’m guessing people that end up on the wrong side of the bell curve are having a bad time though.
I like the approach to leagues this time around. Something for next season should be some streamlining at the start – using some metric more involved than how far a player got in season 2.
Further to add; using win ratio in each tier multiplied by some exponential decay for levelling out and progression of player base over time might work…
Although you’d need to collect a lot of data for that lol!
yeah, after the diamond and legend players moved on I started winning more games. Basically you just have to either get better or wait for the more skilled players to move past you
