Issue w/ unbalanced MMR in game pairings (Team Builder)

Gato Muerto·Nov 16, 2014·2 votes·1,059 views

Just played a game w/ friends in Team Builder. We are all in the gold/silver range (at best). Was checking my opponents, and was rather surprised that we had been paired vs three diamond and two platinum players. We held on rather doggedly, but the game was pretty self-evident.

This was NOT a case of being in queue for a long time, our game fired in about 15-20 seconds.

Man me too. I'm silver 2, and was joining teambuilder alone. I kept getting paired against diamonds and plats. Some games were as bad as: my team 3 gold, 2 silver and enemy team 4 plat 1 diamond. It didn't make any sense.

matchmaking is pretty garbage but this will most likely be ignored sadly.

Still better than 30 minute Q times.

I'd rather wait 30 minutes for a fair and fun game than a game where the team with the lower MMR gets stomped and everyone ends up bitching at and blaming each other.
