not a single one of these games has been fun, YES, EVEN THE WINS… minus maybe 1… (see screenshot below) sorry to anyone ending up reading all the shit i wrote below… just take my word for it if you’re one of those eternus ascendant or whatever else that go “lol just play better noob” in all the replies of these types of posts and have never experienced this yourself.
here’s why :
1 - win too much? get put up against stupidly strong opponents (this is fine, im not complaining, im good enough for that and i think this is fair, if youre on a win streak, you should be put against harder teams, i get it.)
2 - get suddenly unlucky and lose once or twice? DOWN 2 WHOLE RANK BRACKETS… WHY??? all i get are feeders or stupidly long games… its so frustrating… they play like shit and im punished for it… it doesnt make sense. To clarify, My rank did not go down 2 rank brackets (rank brackets to me being initiate, seeker, alch, arcanist, rit, etc.) but the matchmaking did. you work your ass off for a rank and then you just… nope go get matched with 2 rank brackets lower… where people dont do urn, dont try to gank, run it down mid and die the entire time… why? how is that helping me win more? or is it just there so i can suffer… as a punishment for having bad rng?
3 - second loss of the loss streak here (match id : 83263894) worse game of my damn life… why can they get 4 characters that i would consider carries??? (and yes… my team was dumb and did not buy disarming hex… i tried pivoting but by that point it was already too late and 1 single disarming hex would not have saved this… so i just didnt) wtf is this… and to top it all off, im the one playing frontliner, so i just cant do anything… get shit stats, go down in ranks even more.
4 - the amount of toxicity has been increasingly bad recently, people feeding just because you tell them “hey dude, back off a little, youre tanking minions”, people insulting each other for no reason, calling people out for doing the right thing while saying they werent… its been awful and was definitely not this way a few weeks ago. the reason behind it? matchmaking and the ranking system. people get frustrated and do not know how else to take it out other than being a b*tch. when you see someone so much worse than you get placed in emissary… you’re gonna be frustrated for sure… when you only get people feeding and being bad at the game every single match? same thing. when you get put in matches of rank brackets WAY below your own? SAME THING.
5 - because of all of this, the game has felt barely playable to me recently. something needs to be done. a game like this, where you have such a huge difference in player skill between someone who’s played 10h and someone who played 1000h cant have this high of a placement range and cant have this kind of bullshit system. its never gonna work, all the people who are gonna keep playing are gonna be the ones in the top 4 rank brackets, where you cant get placed in as a new player and where people have a better understanding of the game.
FIX THE MATCHMAKING and FIX THE RANKING SYSTEM. it doesnt make sense that people can get placed in emissary with only 10-20h of game time when they’re no better than an initiate 2 player. so why does it keep happening? lower the range please… it should not go past alchemist 1 AT MOST. additionally, fix the possible team comps… i know a lot of heroes are meant to be able to do multiple roles, but we all know fucking haze isnt gonna do anything other than be a carry, we all know seven is only a carry, we all know mcginnis is only gonna be a carry (dont lie to me, support mcginnis doesnt exist… her 2 is for vanity and nothing more. if they wanted to make her a support, theyd buff her 2 and nerf her gun damage.) we all know drifter is gonna be nothing other than a carry late game, he’s a roamer early to mid game ofc… we all know wraith is ONLY a carry, literally wtf else does she do. so why allow more than 2 on the same team?
