I'm a cavelier with handful of rank 2 6* and bunch of rank 3/4 5* AND I'm facing PARAGON players in Battleground. I'm pretty sure many many players facing same issue as me. So my question to KABAM is "how this matchmaking works?". ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Thank you.

    In a word, yes. If you're around the Plat 2 area, Matches will become random within the Tier from then on.

    It doesn't even makes any sense! Matchmaking should be based on equal base hero rating or something like that. Shouldn't it??

    Eventually you will come up against stronger competitors. The majority of people on here wanted it that way from the start, and a number of Players discussed having some sort of even start so Players could become engaged with it and be motivated to play. In short, this is the compromise. The alternative is getting Matches like that in Bronze 3, and that doesn't help anyone want to play.

    Being Cav with a handful of 6r2s makes sense to you?

    With nerfed story maps it's makes so much sense to me. 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

    Nowadays anybody can become atleast cavelier with r4 5* and r2 6*.

    And I agree with @Masdo

    I'm not saying that "oh, kabam please give me proven or uncollected level player". All I'm saying is just give equal level so it remains exciting for both party. Do you think when a cavelier player gets paragon then he's can't keep his excitement!!! Give me a break pal. 🙄

    Matchmaking should based on title/progress. Cavs should only fight another cavs, even in GC so that we can have #1 ranking who is in fact a cavalier. World record.

    LOL.

    Uh, no, not if you are competing for the same rewards as Paragon players.
  • MockingbirdMockingbird Member Posts: 12
    There should be different levels of rewards as there different levels of events. This is the main problem. They mix it up.

    What happens if Kabam switches it to how you want it and you lose to someone at a equal level? What, if in that scenario, you have a bad streak and lose several in a row... then what?
  • MockingbirdMockingbird Member Posts: 12
    Then it's up to me. Atleast I'll not blame kabam for it.

    Losing in a fair fight is much better than facing elephant with being an ant.

    If you want progression tiered competition, you should also get progression tiered rewards also. You probably shouldn't be getting the same rewards as paragon players if u can't play at that level they play at.

    How you felt typing that

    It's just straight up frustrating. So in conclusion kabam DON'T HAVE ANY SOLUTION FOR IT. Good to know (BIG thumbs up).

    So you're saying that someone who is at your same progression level has no chance of having a substantially larger and/or stronger roster? You don't need to complete Act 7 to have lots of 7* (rank 1 or 2) or many 6* ranks 3-5. Anyone could build a roster and wait forever to fight the Grandmaster to be come TB.

    How would your proposed system account for these accounts? I know many MCOCers hate the sports metaphors and analogies but teams that have single digit wins don't only play other teams with single digit wins. To get ahead (and yes more times than not they're blown out) they have to face the undefeated teams.

    @Mockingbird I understand. Losing sucks. I get you. I've been there. When you take a step forward and then three back it feels hopeless. But the system isn't rigged against you. You're in the same boat as everyone else battling in you BG bracket. There's 22 days left in the 10 wins objective (assuming this is the crux of your frustration). That's a win every 2 days. You don't need 10 in two hours or 8 hours or 24 hours. You don't need to go 10-0 to get the objective. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. If you're stringing together a few losses, don't let it burry you. Do other content, regroup, and come back. It ain't gonna be easy and ain't always gonna be pretty but it's not an impossibility.

    P.S. I languished in Bronze this season and have only worked my way up to Gold3 so I'm not preaching from the GC. I lost to bigger accounts than mine every level, but I'm 40% of the way to 10 wins for the objective. Less than a win every 3 days.

    Theres no "solution" for matchmaking because there's nothing about it to have a solution for. We all compete for the same prizes, no one should get an easier ride for them. It's a competition, no participation trophies to be had.

    I'm convinced anyone who complains about matchmaking has never seen another PvP type game mode from any other game to ever exist in the history of ever or have never heard of sports.

    Why stop at Cav? We need to know who the #1 proven summoner is. And they should get the same #1 ranked rewards as the #1 paragon summoner!

    This is the best solution for BGs in my opinion.

    Same. This mode doesn't reflect any competitive pvp ranked system. It comes close in the GC but still faulty.
