Guild Wars 2

I have to say that S3 Matchmaking is the worse than S2. You guys toss in higher division players into the game just for someone having a 2 man group. In what world does this even make sense? Same division players should be playing in their same division. Not against a bunch of people a division above them.

There are so many things I’d say if I wouldn’t get banned. I’ll just leave it at this though.

I will say this again DIVISIONS DO NOT DICTATE SKILL, THEY ARE NOT CORRELATED

The leagues made it so.

Imo, you guys shouldve won because you had a duo on your team while the other team did not.

And the Matchmaker didn’t put in Higher Division because of the duo queue there is a +/- 15 pop range that expands the longer he queue is that is why there were Legendaries on the other team.

agree, this matchmaking just sucks. I have done playing pvp until they not create something original. I was always playing with randoms and never complained about it, but now randoms have to fight teamed up players…seriously?

Just dailies at pvp, season is dead.

The person who thought that matching the bottom 5 MMR players vs the top 5 MMR players is a good design choice is a genius and right!

Looking at the result of the match in the screenshot, it appears to have been fairly balanced to me. It’s not like you lost 500-0. You’re not going to win all of your games.

The Legendary players are likely at the very start of the Legendary division and you’re likely getting towards the end of Diamond. It makes sense to me that you’re up against players in the early stages of the division above.

There are many things that could be said about matchmaking, but the screenshot presented isn’t particularly remarkable in any sense, imo.

Wrong. I’m in T3 of Diamond and I keep going against D6 players. This is just a bad matchmaking. Players shouldn’t be playing others outside their division.

Again it’s based on a base +/-15 pip range that expands over time, if you didn’t play outside your division near the end tiers what would say you deserve to be in the higher division? Also as stated division doesn’t reflect Skill, I had a team of 2 sapphire 1 Amber 1 emerald and myself a diamond beat a full team of diamonds 500-323.

It shouldn’t expand over time. That’s the point I’m trying to make. Its stupid.

It’s their way to shorten queue times for players in less populated divisions, and again division doesn’t mean skill. You can grind to legendary pretty easily and be trash at the game.

Again people acting blindly to this fact. Typical forums

I’ll just leave this two images here.

ICL is pretty bad i mean they were free pipz when I was climbing up to legend on my main and again on my alt.

Sure they were premade but it’s like nothing special, just 4 randoms playing together.

Not sure what your screenshot implies

The matchmaking is horrible but honestly the SS you posted is a far more balanced game than what a lot of people here are experiencing. A lot of us are regularly seeing 500 – 100 games or worse, so in retrospect 500 – 380 is actually pretty good for what we have experienced

so unfair guys they stack higher division on the other team. MM choose the winners by doing that? huhuhu i need to L2P…

611 – 18 is all that should need to be said for that SS

Like others have pointed out, the divisions are meaningless. But your SS is, ironically, a perfect example of what is wrong with the matchmaking in this season. Look at how kittening stacked that game was!!! Blue team managed to kill the Red lord and keep the Red team from getting even 20 points. Red team didn’t get more than 3 kills combined that entire match, assuming they even got a kill at all. The lack of balance in teaming up players is atrocious. Random matchmaking provides more even matches than this just due to statistics. Matches like this should not be happening, and they most definitely should not be happening nearly as often as they are happening this season. Regardless of which side of the blowout you are on, its just not fun to play such a lopsided game. Yet the matchmaking system seems to give players 4 or 5 such lopsided game for every sorta not lopsided game.
