Do you know where you were on the leaderboards before the update?

Without more information, I can’t verify that matchmaking isn’t working as intended.

It’s possible that MMR was artificially high because a player was being carried and its slowly lowering them to where they should be. If that is the case, losing would be expected.

It’s also possible MMR is lower than it should be for some other reason, and you get stuck playing with people below your skill level.

Either way, MMR is being reset on the 26th and you will likely see a change then.

I’m not sure where I was on the leaderboard. Can’t imagine very high since I’d only played some 70 games.

I’ll keep an eye on your matches and look for potential problems.

I’ve mentioned in previous threads that I plan on including additional information like profession, play style, etc., when forming matches. When I get further along with what I’m currently working on we will put out a blog post and start a discussion about the details of matchmaking.

There are also several threads talking about how to handle the 4v5 problem. Personally, I like the idea of both filling empty positions from the queue, and not recording the game as a loss if your team had fewer players for a significant amount of time. I don’t know yet if we want to include this topic in the matchmaking discussion or if it would be better as it’s own thread.

We are also discussing ideas on how to better introduce new players to solo and team arena that won’t ruin the experience for other players.
