Doing rank again, I am bronze atm, there was a really good player on the other team, doing top damage top damage taken and kills with sliver 3 rank.
For 6 matches , the game matched me against them instead of put them on my team.
If the match is really fair it should be 50% they are on my team, but that is not the case.
6 matches for them to be on the other side is mathematically impossible(the odds is 1.5625%) , and I am just a bronze 3.
There is no way that is fair, this is a joke, that plus wintrading, is going to make me skip another season.
What I really hated is that the game thinks I am dumb and unable to see what is happening.

I quit ranke afte rlike 4 or 5 seasons ago. Too many higher ranks got put on enemy team. Makes it less skilled and more just coin toss. Before you say "thats match making"

The other way happens too. I've reach diamond/crystal often, but sometime I skip 2-3 seasons so I have to start bronze again after 2-3 reset that drops me.
And to be honnest, it's way harder to do bronze -> plat than plat -> crystal.
Sometime, you just get bad players in a row in your team and can't do anything because the team is simply too heavy.
A thing that would also probably help is to have a rank per job, and remove the protection that prevent from dropping before diamond. Like you can go all the way back from plat 4 to bronze if you keep losing. Because many players take advantage of not going down to try and practice jobs they are bad at. But ranked match should not be the place for that. -

I used to think the game would intelligently look at your win/loss ratio and be like "Person A has gotten the most kills/done the most damage, but they've also been on Team A 3 consecutive times, let's switch it", but I can also see how people would use that to game the system.
Some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. -

If there is another same job than yours in team A, you'll end up in team B. The smartest thing it try is to have a tank, an heal and 3 DPS (1 melee, 1 ranged, 1 caster). If a 3rd healer queue and it's not a 3rd of the same job, it will start filling whatever a team that is miss something as long as it's not an already used job.Quote:

Plat : Can be gold/plat or diamond/plat
Diamond : Can be plat/diamond or diamond/crystal
Crystal : Can be Crystal/Diamond or Crystal/Omega
It's simple like that. Nothing smart in it... -

I just need to get this off my chest - the climb is brutal. There will be days where you're on a 9-win streak, only to lose 12 times in a row after. Happened to me just now, happened to me across many seasons. I broke top 300 again, maintaining it is hard!
There's not enough in the talent pool to ensure even matches. It always becomes about who can block the strongest players while preying on the weak links. Most of all, I just wished more people actually pressed their buttons more - the current meta really favours offense, so get offensive! -
10-27-2025, 03:05 AMMercury_Greyalso depends on which team has the more broken jobs in pvp right now. RDM, BLM, PCT, WAR if they have even 2 or 3 of those jobs then just hope it ends quickQuote:
