The Feast

[Februs]

When I saw that gold/plat/diamond would get matches together this season I was happy to actually see competitive matches, but out of the 100+ games I've played I've maybe seen 1 game where I had 2~3 gold+ on my team and the other. The algorithm that they're using must be broken or not actually what is advertised.

This could also have a lot to do with the fact that there are currently no diamond ranked players, a couple platinum players per data centre, and a mere handful of golds, at the moment. On Primal there's somewhere around 20 or 30 gold ranked players. On Aether there's maybe 30 or 40. That seems like a lot, but when you compare that to the VAST majority of players who are still unranked-silver rank, then it's not hard to see why gold players are being teamed up with lower ranks than themselves. Consider the fact that not all of those gold players are on at the same time, and it's even easier to understand. I'm really not sure what people are expecting to see here, especially this early in the season. The fact is that there's really not enough players, especially at gold or higher, for the algorithm to be working any differently than it is right now.
