Battlegrounds Matchmaking

I keep getting matched with people with much stronger rosters than mine lately. I have 4 7* r3s, but I get matched with people with 10 to 15 r3s often. So it's really hard to make it to GC because I either have to forfeit so I'm not wasting time, or try to win but lose because they're roster is too strong and waste that time. Anyone else seeing the same?

I don’t have a singular r3 and I get matched with people with rows of them and legends titles. Happens every season. You’ll live

You are competing with everyone for the same rewards, so you will be matched with anyone else that is in the same bracket that you are currently in. That's how it's been for quite a while now.

That means it's working.

Wait a week and many of the larger accounts will have advanced.

You get matched with anyone in your tier. If you're in diamond 1, anyone that's trying to find a match, you can match with. Deck size does not matter in terms of matchmaking. It's a competition. It's supposed to be difficult to make it to GC. Imagine what you'll face when you get there.

Its the first week, thats always hard. D1 and 12-3 in my favor atm, 12 R3s and the rest 200 sig 6R5As.

The season is going significantly better than expected, not a fan of this meta. On the other hand, it's not just me who misses interceptions, a lot of weird results and it might be wise not to give up no matter what happens.

This is mostly about the fact that it is early in the season.

Think of climbing to GC as a race. The stronger players tend to climb faster. So there are more stronger players the higher you climb. As you climb you face stronger and stronger players, because of course.

The flip side is that as the season progresses, for any one rung on the VT ladder the competition tends to get weaker. Why? Because the stronger players tend to promote higher, so they leave that rung behind, which means whoever is left tends to be weaker on average.

So the faster you climb and the earlier you climb, the stronger your opponents will be. Conversely, the later in the season, the weaker your opponents will be. The combination of the two determines the average opponent you face.

Because match making is random, in the sense that you face whoever is there, if you're consistently facing opponents much stronger, that means very few players like you have made it that far yet. That means you are among the stronger, or at least faster, players who have rosters that look like yours. So of course you will tend to match against stronger players: you are one. You aren't going to match against players with the same roster as you, because most of them haven't gotten as far as you yet. Until they catch up to you, you won't see many of them.
