Can Someone Give Us Exact Info on BG Matchmaking Rules?!

BeroMan · May 4

Hello, can you tell us exactly how matchmaking works in BG? For example, what are the point ranges per minute in matchmaking? Also, what are the maximum and minimum points lost/gained? I thought it was 25/5, but I got 2 and 3 several times today.

Notably, I matched with this person after 3 minutes and another after 2 minutes. I thought this kind of matchmaking would happen only after 5 minutes. It seems that if you lose one of these kinds of matches, you need 10 wins to get the points back, which seems a bit harsh. This is especially concerning, considering that this season there are more modders at a lower level.

Wouldn't it be better if you kept it at the 25/5 range?! Also, I think it would be better if this kind of matchmaking only happened after the 5-minute mark and within 5 minutes kept a 200-point range as it was before.

Thank you!

I would like to see why some people would disagree. Not to open up an bad arguments but to see how others think too so we can have good results for all.

My initial guess is the disagree people who just disagree, and then the people who don't like Beroman.

This is the post in question: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/393626/battlegrounds-season-28

I think one of two things are happening: the first bullet point that says “Expanded tuning within the 5 minute duration to improve matching for all GC Summoners.” is implementing point 2 in some way OR and I doubt this is the case, the people who you matched with were waiting 5+ minutes so they matched with you. Granted, that doesn’t make sense, but it would seem that matchmaking has expanded for all people and it prioritizes who’s available at that time.

No they wont give you that info. You will just manipulate it as much as possible like everything.

What is this even a reference to? Sounds like some people are just salty they can’t push as high in BGs…

This is defo a problem tho I’ve had a couple matches where I’ve come up against people with nearly a 300 point difference like, of course they’re gonna beat me, but they only get like 1 point so what’s the purpose?

While I can't speak for BeroMan, there are people in higher tiers of Bg , even celestial 1-5, who have involved in foul play by manipulating matchmaking and match fixing. Even BeroMan has posted about it.

So no, it's not someone being salty.

Friendly reminder to be kind and respectful everyone. No need to be rude to each other.

Mostly talking to the person whose comment got removed from here

Why even ask for specific bg matchmaking criteria like that unless you plan to somehow work around it? Just play the game.

Except some players don't even play battlegrounds and still comment
