That this games matchmaker is either absolutely trash or that it straightout doesn’t work.
I haven’t played a long time and I’m utter crap. I can’t kill people if they strafe, I’m bad at chaining headshots. My aim is shit in general.
I cannot get a lot of points. 10K in OBJ is a rare occasion. in SW I may get 15K, but that’s also rare.
I played CMM and Ranked and I’ve only won a few matches.
From playing like utter shit for like 10 days I expect the game to queue me with same bad people.
But this game keeps queueing me against people who get double my score and kills in almost every match.
In ranked I get people who have double the score of our team after maybe 5 minutes and constantly keep it and stomp us.
Is that how a matchmaker supposed to work? Throw bad people against good people in a match?
What I learned from playing a lot of matches with CMM/new ranked season.
you try match making 2000 people, of which half are doing sw, and of which a quarter are not in your region. Balanced matches are lucky.
It is so damn fair to play against a gold with a team of unranked/low silvers.
“Oh look he isn’t that good” Yeah right, that#s why he is the best in this match.
This game is good, but is going down by a stupid matchmaking system.

Yes. I dare to believe into SD once after they tinkered over a year on a matchmaking system that as a low ranked player their glorious system will queue me against people of similar rank and not throw me against a wall of golds or people at peak-performance.
I didn’t expect anything, and I still got disappointed.
If I should not play ranked because I’m not very good, SD should have introduced a proper Elo for CMM and only allow people to play ranked if the surpass a certain CMm rank imo.
But if newbies can play ranked at level 7, then I assumed the games a proper way to balance it out for them.
It’s the rather low player count in ranked causing troubles for the matchmaking system.
In the screenshot above the system was not able to find a suitable opponent for the gold player so after some time it decided to place him and his mate in your match. Due to the imbalance that that caused it also put a bronze player in the gold player’s team in hope that would somewhat compensate the difference in rank. Now that’s a good idea per se however because of the potential large skill discrepancy between players it might not always work out.
The same goes for Casual Matchmaking though the outcomes are generally superior as there are more players available to choose from.
It’s also worth nothing that the actual gameplay is important as well. A match which seems balanced on paper can end up as a stomp due to the decisions people took. These can range from a variety of things and once the snowball starts rolling it only gets bigger.
CMM was obviously gonna be a failure from the start. Something of that nature belongs in Ranked, but of course a larger playerbase is still needed. Just sucks they essentially took the Ranked system, removed all Obj servers from the browser, and intertwined them with the Ranked system (but without any rewards). CMM just isn’t casual and Ranked isn’t populated enough. It does feel like it just doesn’t work sometimes though. This might be because of parties. I’ve been in matches where, after waiting 10 minutes to find a match so it’s searching at the highest skill levels, I’ll face off against a couple Cobalts/Golds whereas my team is stuck with low silvers. Sure enough, the opposing team is partied up.
