Kabam,
You're obviously aware that Season 5 matchmaking has been a hot button issue, cause some of the mods have commented on the numerous threads that have dominated the forums for the past month.
Why then, with your recent post regarding Season 6, 7, and 8 (thank you by the way...the forward look is a nice touch), did you completely ignore the matchmaking topic?
Even if it's to say you aren't changing the algorithm for Season 6, I think it would be beneficial to know, cause much like people want to know about seasons in advance to base rank up decisions, some of us want to know about matchmaking for a similar reason....cause we aren't going to invest in the champs if there's no change to the matchmaking.
Appreciate anything you're willing to share on the topic.

Still no changes at VT, whether that is matchmaking, or (even better) victory tokens points or the whole structure of it.
Disappointing, considering how many people dislike the current state of the mode 🙁
Also implementing some of the ideas that were proposed doesn't require an overhaul.
A "we are working on changes soon" would help.
This situation is already going for 1.5 season.
But i guess it will take around 3 seasons for changes, like happened at AW.
They don't care, and if you point out the fact that they don't care they'll delete whatever you posted and give you a warning, there's no point in even complaining about issues in these forums anymore.
On top of that they haven't said anything about zero point bug compensation for last season or fixing it before next season starts. I feel they should acknowledge how this makes majority of the player base feel about participating in BGs.
A few days later they received their official rankings. And found there was zero change from just before the season end and the final rankings. That’s not conjecture, as far as I can tell—that’s actual data that indicates no changes to the top several thousand rankings once the season ended.
You can make of that what you will. But it’s way more than suggestive of little to no disciplinary action post BG season 5.

There were literally screenshots of these donkeys doing sig 200 Dominos with Kingpin at max health and they still aren't banned why are you always defending Kabam? Takes 5 minutes to watch one of these videos which contain a lot of proof to see they didn't do their job properly this season.

A. Claimed they’ve banned modders after the season but lied about it (based on no one’s position improving post season)
Or
B. Banned modders but not given honest players their rightful rewards.
I’m at a loss how you can defend their position. And back to the main point of this post - matchmaking.
I know you’re aware how big a discussion this is for the player base, based on the sheer volume of comments you’ve made on various threads.
For them to not even provide a single comment on this in their latest post is shambolic.
There was a rank order prior to season end. That rank order remained the same in final rankings. If people who ranked in the top few thousand were penalized for violating ToS after season end, it is a perfectly legitimate question to ask why final rankings remained the same.
Perhaps there’s a different type of penalty rationale (although I can’t think of one) that would allow players to retain their rank but lose rewards and/or face a ban. If so, the team should come forth and fill in the gaps.

I do hope kabam changes their algorithm for matchmaking in VT because that was a mess for many to deal with last season on top of the bugs many experienced.
