Feast Party Win Trading / Primal

[DWARF_INTENSIFIES]

think i might have queued into some people trying to trade, had a few queues pop today that were rejected by the entire enemy team.

So, this thread was originally created back in Season 2, back when custom matches did not exist. Yet here we are in Season 3 and 'in-house' games are still happening (even on the same server, same player as last time) where 8 players are getting together on the same server, organizing teams, and queueing up for ranked LP (instead of custom matches). Just yesterday someone rose +300 points from a days worth of farming. In fact, said player even streamed it and it seems as though they just got 7 other people who had never played Feast before and continuously steam rolled over whichever 4 weren't on their team for several hours.

Does SE have any plan to combat this blatant manipulation of the leaderboard? I realize at the end of the day there's only so much you can do but the least they could try is not allowing two teams on the same server to be matched together.

They care about as much as giving earrings to the top 10... :-\

I suggest you avoid using the F Word in your comments as that is a bannable offense. No need to get hostile.

If there's enough people that want to Throw together an in house so they don't waste hours of there life sitting.. waiting for a Queue to never pop.. then LET THEM expletive PLAY lol

Uh, that's what Custom matches are for? You know the new thing they specifically added in 3.4 so that you can play multiple times w/o any sort of queue timer and you can actually even insta-rematch after each game? Where there's no ranking attached and you can even queue in with whatever job set-ups you want? It was one thing last season where I was willing to give you guys the benefit of the doubt but that excuse doesn't hold anymore. Not to mention the same player organizing, or at the very least benefiting from these matches, was also using 3rd party tools on stream in solo queue to basically cheat.

The ONLY issue that can be Raised here would be if one of the teams was purposely throwing matches to let the other team win..

You have 1-2 'experienced' players that win just about every game no matter what team they're on because your opponents have no idea what they're doing. He literally streamed the games and it was really obvious. It's apparent you're just recruiting people who have never PvP'd or at the very least never played Feast to queue against so you can farm them with the excuse that "we're just playing to have fun". The players organizing the matches are purposely organizing them in such a way that it's just about impossible for them to lose. Only difference between this and win-trading is you've duped the enemy team into thinking that them losing 20 times in a row is "for fun".

Hmm How come?

Hmm How come?

The current rank #1 player on Aether Light Party leaderboard actively dodged any real competition to get a huge lead in rating. In doing so, said player maximized point gain by playing with many different (unranked/bronze) players.
