That's your limit then. Why would they help you get to gc when others grind their asses off for the same thing? It wouldn't be fair for others. Also, you're diamond 3 and he's diamond 3, I don't see why it's not fair to match someone the same tier. At the end of the day it's a competition and all of us are competing for the same stuff. Of course this is gonna happen

If you only matched against opponents with equal rosters, then everyone who spent money or time trying to better their rosters gets forced to only play the toughest of opponents, no matter their rank. Is it fair to them to have a more difficult time even though they put more effort into their account?

Edit: I also wouldn’t worry about getting 7* nc. If diamond 3 is difficult, vibranium is gonna be much worse. (I speak from personal experience) It looks like he wants the dupe anyway, so don’t stress if you miss out on him.

What exactly would be fair then? Everyone getting a 7* regardless of roster or progression?

There are still a good amount of 5* as your higher rated champs. It's definitely possible for you to still get there, but I'm not sure that your roster is ready

How is that my limit if i keep getting placed with people with higher ranked champs how does that even make sense to you?, i could keep trying again and again and still keep losing, and i am not asking kabam for help i am just saying matchmaking needs to balanced, people like you keep meat riding kabam

It’s your limit if you can no longer progress further. Your best bet is to make a final push at the end of the season when there are less stacked rosters still in vt

The problem is that equal matchmaking and "fair" matchmaking aren't necessarily the same thing, nor should the expectation of getting into the GC each season being a given.

The point of BG is a competition amongst the entire player base to see who has what it takes to be the best. To give everyone a chance to at least somewhat progress, matchmaking looks more at roster strength before Plat II. This makes it easier for smaller accounts, but harder for big accounts.

Starting in Platinum II, anyone is fair game. As the stronger accounts move up, more and more smaller accounts phase out as they just can't keep up. That's how it's designed to be.

With smaller accounts, there's much more variability. In past seasons, more experienced players proved in equal roster matchmaking, their alt accounts glided through while their stacked main accounts were struggling. That is part of why matchmaking was changed.

What you're suggesting is actually not only not fair to the bigger accounts, but also goes against the very purpose of BG

English isn’t my first language so i meant fair instead of equal and last season i reached vibranium tier and almost into GC how would you explain that?

Part of it could be the number of smaller accounts could have decreased since last season. Additionally, the difficulty normally comes in waves. Larger accounts eventually move out of a tier, but new larger accounts come in as well. Navigating the relative difficulty throughout the season will greatly help.

I know it can be frustrating, but even these larger accounts face challenges too. I constantly had to face stacked Valiant accounts with the latest defenders. I actually became better because of that as I had to learn how to outskill people with larger accounts

So you can't get passed these bigger roster, people who have done more in the game than you have to be where they are

But you think you should get rewards that they cannot as of now (they are in D3 also, so no GC yet).

I just don't know how you think this should work.

Should the NIT participants get into the Final 4 because they feel entitled to?

You asked how you have hit your limit and then answered your own question saying you couldn't beat the roster here.

And you aren't a special snowflake. Every other roster like yours is facing the same competition.

mbgibson

the problem is matchmaking it’s that simple

Matchmaking isn't the problem, your roster size is. Honestly the three rosters you have shown aren't even that stacked. No ascended JJ, Onslaught, Bullseye, Photon, Serpent, ETC. If I had to guess I'd say you'll be running into similar account sizes the rest of the climb...

I get what everyone here is saying and I agree a little bit on both sides of the thing but I think the match making needs to be done based on what rank of champions both players have in the same league and not just anyone. If there's a couple of r2 7*s and 6 r5 6*s for 2 players, they should be matched and not someone with no 7*'s and lower 6*'s being matched with a gigantic roster of multiple 7*'s. It's just not fair.

How would that work without reopening the door to sandbagging and other deck manipulations?

I’m in vibranium and trust me I see the same thing. All accounts double my size and usually valiant. A lot of top players aren’t rushing to get out of victory track, which blocks off smaller rosters from progressing since they can’t get past this wall of big accounts.
