New MMR? Nice joke.

[Xel]

So the new MMR matches winners with wonderful teams that need to be carried.

Garbage mode is garbage.

It was a difficult thing to achieve in the first place. It can ONLY work in 1v1.

Me and a few others seemed to have noticed a huge difference in queue's after hitting Gold. Fine streaking and climbing through Bronze and Silver to hit a loss streak after Gold. Only hard carry jobs seem to have climbed the ladders after that. In my experience, I haven't been put in any Gold matches that I can remember with other Gold's. It's always:

-1 Gold w/ 4 Bronze/Silver vs. 1 Gold w/ 4 Bronze/Silver
- 1 Gold (me) w/ everyone else in the game being Bronze/Silver
- 1 Gold w/ 1 Unranked & 3 Bronze/Silver vs. 5 Bronze/Silver

Normally whoever gets the Unranked loses since they get bulled by the ex-Crystal's in Bronze/Silver that are sometimes 2-3 on the same team.
I don't think I've been in a single game with 1-2 other Gold's on my team yet despite queue'ing throughout the entire day.
It seems like climbing in gold isn't a question of if you're better than other people in Gold directly, but can you carry harder than you did before. The teams I've had for the last 2 days are more gapped in skill and blowouts than I experienced in Bronze and Silver.

theres no real reason to play CC when you get the crystals from other modes
unless pain is the name of your game....

i like cc i think it is fun. its not to be taken seriously though, even "ranked". this games delay is like 3 seconds. when i have resilisnce active and then get stunned or root again anyways, we have a major problem. only cheating should really be taken seriously (and banned)

You should NOT be able to constantly CC somebody like that, its so bad that i usually drop out of matches that has a bard/rdm and a whm on one team.

yes it is dumb, but i would really only complain about it if the game was ultra responsive. the tick rate in this game is its own CC.

also when i said "i think cc is fun" i was referring to the game mode not the crowd control. CC in games is never fun, i think its lazy balancing.

Indeed, it appears that if you hit Gold, that's it. RNG locks you down hard with the beautiful new MMR making any attempt to climb a joke. CC is complete and utter hot garbage with the current issues. Abandon hope all ye, who wanted new plates.

Gold? I'm in bronze and I get matched against teams with 2 gold players while my team's full bronze :^)

Last season the matchmaking was goofy sometimes, but more often than not I matched with comparable players (all bronze, all silver, all gold, etc.). This season, though? Wow. It's been strange.

I earned the season rank 25 mount reward last night, and what a journey this has been. Every single match has had players of wildly disparate ranks. For instance, I matched on a team of all golds against a team of all bronze except one silver. It was a stomp in our favour, of course. (They didn't get a single kill and we pushed the crystal to the end immediately.)

I have no idea what the developers did to the matchmaking. While the queue times appear to be faster, the actual matching is outright bizarre.
