Silver tier woes

[Commander_Justitia]

The matchmaking favors "speed of queue" vs. "fair matchmaking". You can get people with your rank +/- 2 ranktiers in your team. Everybody gets bronze at some point, because they never lose points until they reach bronze. This means everyone in gold will still get silver and bronze guys, aswell as platinum and diamond people. What you get in the end depends only on the people who are queueing at that moment. You could get decent matches with experienced players or only bronze matches. Again, the system favors short queues, it doesnt care about matchmaking aslong as it is somewhat fair with some variation it will pop. Now there are way more people playing feast, they could make matchmaking more strict again so that people will have a higher chance playing with players of the same ranks. Instead they throw every player in 1 big pot until they reach platinum, so atm you get matches with players who did get 10 wins and 100+ wins all together, which completely fails the original purpose of rank tiers.

So instead of 6 tiers we actually only have 3 to begin with. And here we are, one day after another people complain about their teams and demand changes e.g. healer too strong, dps too bad, too much 10stacks.... maybe fix matchmaking first, then fix what is not balanced. I believe people would want to wait longer if they know they are less likely to get total meme match.

i dunno man if i queue for ranked feast and I see wait time is something like more than 20 min I go queue for something else instead.

Everybody and their mom que for ranged, if you want fast pops play another role tbh

For gold quals my 2 losses 1: our samurai took the wolf-heart and 10 stacks.

2: Healer spammed cure II and ran out of mp immediately. Never seen anything like it, so I right clicked view profile.......






It happens to all of us....

Really surprised I even got to gold with these players

its okay , I lost platinum with them and gotta work back up, so i'd say it evens out once you hit platinum, then you'll only have a good healer 20% of the time as opposed to 50% of the time, my last match our healer dc'd at the start.

I lost two qualifiers now because the healers couldn't manage to cast anything until it was 3+ seconds too late. Seeing a tank die with a healer at full mp not being hassled is pretty aggravating.

[Giglamesh]

I think the frustration comes more from the qualifiers then actually climbing the ranks. I can make progress with a 50% win rate. The qualifiers have been a disaster.

[DrWho2010]

ok before silver most ppl go after the ranged first but now i've been seeing more people wanting to go after melee dps first. is this the norm?

[Giglamesh]

It usually depends on who has the attack buff
