Ranked matchmaking is broken & penalty for nothing (updated)

(Jan S.) #1

Okay, so I’m really angry right now.
Ranked matchmaking is completely broken now.
Searching takes time, OK, but 80% of matches fail before we even get to server.
I can live with that, somehow. But I just got a ban. For nothing. Once, we finally got to server, we were 4v5. After a successful Surrender vote, I wanted to play again. But I got “major” penalty. I would really like to know what for.

So, TLDR:
80% of matches fail because “somebody didn’t connect”
After long searching, game finally started, but with 4 players vs 5.
After Surrender vote passed, I got major penalty.

And yet you care about overpriced crafting.
/rant off

EDIT: So…there’s more.
After writing this, I have opened Dirty Bomb again. It said I should connect to server because of unfinished match. Well, I said yes. I got into server, it was Chapel by the way (and original match where we surrender was Terminal).
I was alone there.

After countdown, cutscene started. Another player connected - player I played previous ranked with. After cutscene game paused because of no enemy players.

After that, match ended. We “won”. On the end screen, I saw another player from previous game.
And even through we got “win”, I dropped in rank. WTF? #Fixit

Yeah the game is about to die so its ok. (How many disagrees?)

How about 1? :naughty:

I’ve had some issues too though. Yesterday my matches won and matches lost were 7:7, I didn’t remember losing that many, nor did I even remember playing that many since ranked start, but I was like, eh, okay. Whatever.

Today, I played two matches of ranked, ONLY TWO, and I played NONE yesterday, since my friends asked me to. I won them both. It said I had 9:9… WTF!? Why were those wins also losses?!
Is the losses versus wins bug still here?

now 2 at the time of this post. dunno though after setting 6v6 to 10 min I now never see 6v6 games up and no one joins, I kinda want the game to die now and for Splash to dissolve as a team THE SALT IS REAL!!!.

… You really shouldn’t want SD (OR DB) to die for making a good change. :wink: If you join them in certain areas, at the right times, they fill up surprisingly quickly. I joined one earlier yesterday (since it’s 3:23 AM rn) and it literally FILLED in a minute. I honestly appreciate the change. It makes min 10s and min 20s feel MORE like min 10s and min 20s, it better separates them from pugs. Makes it harder to get Aces and stuff since there aren’t as many enemies, and the people there are more skilled. (generally speaking…)

the flip? die? noo I would not wish death on anyone over a videogame (dissolve as in disband) the game though…yes 7v7 and 8v8 imo is that bad and should not exist. If the new matchmaking comes out all matches should be 6v6 as to not separate the player base so you can pull everyone into a singular que thus making getting into matches easier.

check this out though some people take videogames way too far, Interesting read


they even have a video on it by Ohnickle @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xbjTJT2pVNR6b94Vaei5g

I just had the exact same problem, I was in the lobby discusing with the other players, some players were in light colors like they are still connecting. Then all I can see is a message : YOU HAVE A MAJOR BAN ! I closed the game, when the game started again it asked me if I want to join the current round or leave, I didn’t know what is the right thing to do so I joined. There was only 2 players and they just finished the round so I was sent back to the game interface. I tried ranked again and : MAJOR BAN !!!
