I think there is a bug in the matchmaking where some players will always be on your team and other players will never be on your team. Others I have spoke with seem to have the same issue. I take screen shots of every soloq game I’ve played and I can verify some players I have played 20+ games with this happening.
Just played a game against you actually. It’s definitely true, everyone knows it. It’s no fun, too. Sometimes you get stuck with people that are… not the most desirable teammates. Would love to see a better matchmaking system, as I’m sure others would as well.
This is the crap that helped contribute to my 30 or so loss streak (a win or 2 between) today.
Maybe RNG (if it exist) for matchup is broke just like how we got temple map 80% of the time.
No bug imo .You queue you get to play with a few people ,you win or lose and then you all start queueing again at the same time.And because you can clearly sync (big secret ,right?) you get to play with them for 100000000 games in a row.
What you can do to break this is waiting and not queueing immediately after match.
You can even add them to your contact list and wait till they are in a game.
It works 100% to break that and for all i know is the only way to stop getting 20 matches with the same people.
Its extremely effective against trolls that play sitting duck on node(guard) and go afk if their team goes behind by 50 pnts !! hehe :P

Or Anet could fix it. Iv’e been on both ends. Iv’e been stuck queing with a good player over and over and a crappy one over and over. Iv’e even had certain people who could be on both sides which is how it should be. Unfortunately there are still those players you are stuck with no matter what. 5+, 10+ games and you never go against them is not random. I think Anet did this on purpose to make the elitists feel good and keep them playing, as they don’t give a cent about the rest of the pvp community.
The funny thing is sometime I get teamed with the same player over and over again, and the moment I’m finally against them after like 5-6 + games, I start winning. And then I whisper -knowing perfectly that he just lost 10 games in a row- them telling them I’m sorry, I know the feeling. And the response I get is usually : “I’m used to losing, I rarely win anyway” How disturbing is that… Sometime I wonder if those players got some masochistic personality disorder

I was in love with solo queue for the first couple days until I started to notice how incredibly bad the matchmaking was. Hotjoin is more rewarding. No thanks.
This is not a bug this is how rating works; I’ve noticed after a looot of matches with the same people when you’re matched against the people on your previous team that decides who goes to the next rating bracket and who stays in the swamp of afk/rlybads.
Guys, the matchmaker is doing the best he can. You can’t just expect anet to write code and put this guy out on the streets.
Have a heart.

At around the 20% ranking mark, I seem to be consistently playing with and against the same people.
This was not the case during the 30 losses that brought me down to the 20% rating mark, during which time I can only recall ONE person being both on my team and the opposing one. The others I saw on multiple occasions were either always on my team, or always on the opposing team.

This should be your signature, Google. It’s such a cleaver analogy ^^

Except I said that there is no matchmaking system, but a matchmaker that works 24/7 while being doped up on amphetamines just so we can get matches.
