It's about approach. Newer Players are clearly struggling with the drop-off. They have a right to have a hard time with it. We don't need to belittle them.
There is a matchmaking algorithm. This works at lower levels and protects accounts like yours from matching up against top end accounts even if they are in the same tier.
Since that protection is there, the rewards you have access to are also lower.
You are not going to have access to Paragon store rewards while avoiding those accounts.
There is a school of thought where you wouldn't have access to those rewards even if you were facing all those accounts. That's a different discussion.
You can't paint every Player who brings up the issue of Matchmaking with the same paint brush.
I have seen players get the same answers and say "oh yeah makes sense... I will get my account better".. I have given harsh responses as well as polite ones depending on the tone (probably quite childish on my side as well)..
I just don't understand how some players refuse to accept where they are in the game... 1 6*... In Plat asking why he can't climb...
I guess I'll just stay away from this type of posts
I also didn’t say I had on 6*. I said I pulled my first 6* 3 months ago. For such a critic you sure don’t read very critically @Coppin. Is berating new members in the forum where you find the most joy in the Mcoc experience?
Second, as has been explained many times, your ranking is INFLATED. Kabam was nice enough to implement a handicap system so that low accounts could dodge stronger ones up until a certain point. Anyone who has a developed roster has had to fight stiffer competition the whole time for the SAME rewards that you’ve been getting while fighting easier ones. Now that you've coasted with this handicap up to plat you’re in the same pool as everyone else. If you weren't given this handicap you never could have made it to plat, plain and simple. You would’ve been relegated to some lower rank where people with less developed rosters would be stuck if you had to play everyone in equal rates right from the start.
Be grateful you were allowed to progress this far by artificially dodging strong players. If you want to go further, get a better roster
This game is progression based. In the past lower accounts like yours had an easy time reaching GC. Which was unfair for bigger accounts. I know where you're coming from, fair matchups etc. This game is not like a MOBA for example, where you face opponents in the same skill bracket with access to all the same champs. Rosters matter in this game. So in a competitive game mode you have to face competition. Either be it skilled or roster based.
Kabam kept the old "unfair" algorithm from bronze to platinum so people can still have a sense of progress. After platinum you're competing with everyone.
I think the main thing people have to accept is that this game and this game mode specifically is competitive in 2 ways: roster and skill. Which usually differs from other games where you have access to the same roster and only skill matters
By your sage logic, shouldn’t I be running into at least ONE player with a similar roster as mine who has downhill skiied his/her way to platinum ii as well? 🙄
You ran into all of them… on your way to platinum. You were artificially given an easier path, now you're on the same track as everyone else. There isn’t a way to know for sure what the percentage make up of “good accounts” at plat is, but my guess is that more players with developed rosters are more dedicated to playing every game mode, including battlegrounds, so you’ll see a much higher saturation of players with good accounts at every higher rank even with the artificial skew dropping of people in your situation higher than they would otherwise be. If you play long enough, you’ll probably find someone at your level, but there’s going to be many more dedicated players with good accounts at higher ranks even if they never allowed low accounts to match high ones. I WAS surprised that you made a post complaining about a system that is already giving you an easier time than other players though
The way the system is set up now is at Platinum, the Matches are random within your Tier. This is a compromise. It allows even the earliest Players to gain some success and Rewards, and at the same time still maintains the spirit of the competition. So far, they've implemented a new Token system (2 for a Win, one for a Loss), until Diamond. That's been a success so far in my opinion. There are some changes in the works for a streamline whereby Players will start the Season somewhere in the vicinity of where they ended. Whether that's one or more below, I have no idea.
I'm afraid you've had a string of Players that are stronger. There is a range at Plat and up. The only suggestion I have is keep trying. You'll get weaker Matches eventually.
