Matching in bgs is absolutely ridiculous

I've been stuck in vibranium forever now. Because no matter what I always face big whales. I'm almost at 3 mil power but I consistently face against people 2 million over me. I thought it was supposed to be "fair match making, but I guess not!

There’s no matchmaking in plat 2 or higher, you match against anyone else searched for a match at the same time. I have a 1.3m account and I regularly have to deal with 4.5m+ accounts. That’s just how the system works.

Then why don't I face against smaller accounts I've never faced up against people who are near your size 🤯

We have a lot of time left for BGs to end, so you posted this kinda early, wait a week more

Nemesis_17

Because most smaller accounts are lower in the ranks, I’m more so in the minority. I haven’t matched anyone remotely close to myself either.

Nemesis_17

I was waiting for you to show up with this ss lmao

Someone has to do it, i just happened to be on here about to write a post when i saw this thread lol

It is what it is

I’m at 1.5 mil in vibranium and have been getting about 40-50% win rate, even against whales. Because guess what, if somebody has a 3-5 mil account and is still in vibranium, there’s a reason for that (they suck at the game)

Yes, they are tanking matches to farm points, basically you are a tomato.

Maat1985

not true.
i am 4.5mil still in vibranium cus i don't play more than 2 matches per day.

BlackTuran

Tanking matches when they only have 1 medal at the time?

BringPopcorn

Stop for 1 min and think about it.
What is more plausible? That you are the ultimate 50% big account killer, or that they are staying on a tier just to farm?
1 toke or not sometimes they do it to get the play 3 match objective.

BlackTuran

I’m not saying you’re wrong, you might be right. I just think this is too much effort to go through to tank. I could have very very easily lost with one single mistake. And this is how almost all of these wins are: close. Don’t get me wrong, I do get people legitimately tanking sometimes, dying with barely any damage done to my defenders but most of the wins I get aren’t like that

BlackTuran

This isn’t an ego thing, I’m not claiming to be a master of the game or something, I just think with draft luck, knowing how to draft and use matchups etc, you can punch up in power sometimes

i'm in the circuit and i don't know what facing an account is like without multiple duped 7* R2's, 6* R5's .. ascended etc etc. You just have to be diligent and keep plugging away .. you'll win some, lose some but you'll learn along the way what works best against stacked accounts far above your own.

what i find the most frustrating is horrible drafts and even more horrible AI. the most recent is Overseer whiffing on his SP1 stun punish. fire it off and go in to punish while they're stunned and he totally whiffs the medium and slap to my face afterwards.

You couldn't have added this to the other 75 matchmaking threads?

The very least, look at those threads and realize your complaint is invalid.

Greekhit

This is not absolutely true.
Many good players with strong accounts, don't rush to get to GC and play only for daily objectives.
Not all players play BGs at the same pace 😉

BlackTuran

Ok yeah you’re right I forgot about the people who take their time going through the VT, my bad

Nemesis_17

I actually do believe this because I have the same story. And yes plenty of people don’t take bgs seriously, it’s not necessarily a skill issue. If I hadn’t played so much from grinding milestones I’d probably be in mid diamond instead.

BlackTuran

Yeah sucks at the game was a bit harsh, not good at battlegrounds mode specifically I’d probably more apt.

Nemesis_17

True it just depends, for example someone like Swedeah is one of the best at the game mechanically, but he doesn’t push gc because he doesn’t like the game mode. And yea no worries lol.

I suggest you wait till the second or third week. BG is always a rat race in the 1st week. My acc is 2.6 mil and never matched with anyone with less than 3.5 mil rating. Most of the time, they are 4 or 5 mil, let alone the fact that I constantly have to place my defenders first, which is too hard for me to understand the system.

I'm currently in vibranium 3. My prestige is only 17k and facing off accounts ranging from 13k - 20k. No complaining. Win some lose some, this is the name of the game. Keep battling and keep getting your account stronger. Thats all.

Chuck_Finley

Literally can’t remember the last time I didn’t place my defender 1st.

But it’s all RNG. 🙄
