The algorithm seems slightly better, but there are still matches that are completely one sided. Part of this is because we are not putting level of entry for new people.
I don’t want to be matched against rank 6s and just steamroll them. Rank 1-20s should be in their own division.
Nice matchmaking…
jk, nothing changed. it still sucks.
Watching your rosters. So far you’re being put into reasonable matches based on your MMR.
I find it hard to believe that getting matched against really low ranks.
Well, you’re right on the curve where we stick new players.
We’ve talked about putting the default MMR to a lower number, might be something we want to do for the upcoming MMR/leaderboard reset.

Could you please check my roster too, the last hours i had a HORRIBLE gaming experience! Im Constantly in teams with two ppl beiing r20, while the opponent team has 2 ppl with r50
The r50’s just farm the 20’s and the result is something like a 3 vs 5! Thats no fun for me
I add 2 example srceenshots, one showing me loosing, one showing me winning, same problem on both screenshots. But since an hour im always on the loosing side
Help or just any kind of comment would be much appreciated!
EDIT: And I’m dropping, no im falling, in rating like a stone! I dont know why i drop in rating if i’m obviously in the team that is worse. Would be nice if you could look into this too
I don’t know what to tell you. I can’t see all your matches, but the latest ones have all been very even as far as MMR is concerned.
Please keep in mind that Rank != Skill.
so when do u will show leaderboardrank in the scoreboard? i know it was already suggested a few times.. that would stop that constant qq about low or high rank players.
Not a bad idea. I’ll bring it up with the team. It might be confusing though because there is already a “Rank” on the leaderboards.
New players should be placed in the 75% percentile or lower.
The problem with changing the default is all you end up doing is moving the center of the curve. We’ve been talking about other metrics we can use as a proxy for skill and game knowledge that we can use to then place players at starting MMR closer to their actual skill level. E.g. PvP rank, PvE level, achievement points, time played, etc..
If you take the things u mentioned into account, to assign different MMR to players that are new to tpvp, woul this not smoth out the “center of the curve”?
The goal would be to have no noticeable change in the shape of curve, but still better place new players.
To clarify: MMR is the hidden value that determines the rank on the ladder?
Correct.
And maybe this should not only be done for new players, but also for players that are playing infrequently… But i guess this is not possible with the current system?!
The more we manipulate the MMR the less it can be used as a metric for skill, so we’d want to keep things like this to an absolute minimum.
