I cannot believe the matchmaking algorithm allowed this match to start. It was a complete joke of a game. This is a case where I am hating playing Dirty Bomb when the players are NO WHERE CLOSE in skill level.
Balanced ranked matches?

Same here.
Not as drastic, and it was off-peak, but there was an option to have balanced teams with those people, and the matchmaker ignored that possibility.

New Season, but the same problems as last season. There literally is no excuse for matches like that. I repeat NO EXCUSE. You can’t even begin to tell me that “oh it’s a playbase problem” or anything else, that should just NEVER happen.

The fact is it is a playerbase problem first and foremost. If there were more players, those 4 people in a clan could be paired with more people in the clan’s skill range. (although I’m not sure why it tried to put a gold player in with the clan of all silvers, when the other team was mostly bronze).
There simply aren’t enough people playing ranked for the current system to work, and it needs to be drastically changed to fit the lower population.
Ranked is broken, and the devs pretending it’s not doesn’t help anything. The game needs to be built around it’s current population, not what it could have. This season was rushed, it had no significant changes in such a short period for a community that was already bored of ranked, besides a couple more grindy RNG cards that still haven’t been made better even after tonnes of community feedback.
It really is a shame. This season could have been amazing if they had just waited a bit longer and implemented more features, notably a rework of how your rank is calculated, because clearly it doesn’t work.

Guys.
Seriously.
WTF are you doing in ranked servers at 3 AM?
You want to find your new asian girlfriend on the internet?

I think the only reason that they decided to end season 2 and to start season 3 is because of unlimited party size…beyond that I don’t think there is another reason. Shitty balance as usual. Although I am not so sure how is unlimited party size is going to solve this. Not to mention the failure of pre-season. Is SD trying to attracting people back by “ranking with many friends as you want without having more than 5 people” and the new skin? I am wondering what would happen to the next season.
Yes, rank is still a joke just like before. Even back to the pre-season style? I mean, the only reason why we still can find a match without 50 mins of waiting is because of the new loadout skin and cool rank trinkets.

Another irritating thing is that people refuse to surrender in situations like this and waste everyone’s time.
I could show you plenty of these.

Yeah… you just get teams that cannot win. And there seems to be a strange belief that voting surrender causes a bigger ‘ranked percentage’ loss.
Honestly, the loss is about -27% as the highest scoring guy on my team and as the lowest, win is about +17% as the highest scoring guy on my team and as the lowest, and the rare draw is about -3 as the highest scoring guy on my team and as the lowest. Voting surrender has shown no difference at all. But myths persists. Rolls eyes.
