Does matchmaking seem a little off to anyone else lately?

Vesarixx··2 votes·629 views

It seems like there is more skill disparity between players since dynamic queue was released, when people do well they do really well and when the do bad they do really bad, there are hardly any close games.

This is from a game I was in today, the enemy team had a double ADC comp and my damage was more than both of theirs combined, http://i.imgur.com/8GhsJcW.png

has anyone else noticed this?

MMR drops maybe or they got boosted and had their MMR spike.

Or they weren't positioning right and were having an off game where they didn't play right?

You don't immediately assume someone got boosted because they played bad

I was just giving my opinion on why there might be a "skill desparity" as op puts it. I never stated it as a definitive fact. That's why i put in that maybe there...

I doubt boosting has anything to do with it, this was in a silver game and it's a pretty common thing, I also noticed it when watching people stream at other elos, if anything I'm thinking it might have to do with dynamic queue itself throwing off the matchmaking algorithms, since people who queue together aren't necessarily the same skill level.

As i said i never put a definitive on anything...i said maybe...it's a viable posibility as much as what you said...why do you insist on trying to explain it to me...just cause i didn't put it it in there doesn't mean i don't get it and should be schooled...i said maybe- and then put in 2 possible scenarios...

Wasn't really going for a correction, just trying to have a discussion here, why so defensive?

I presumed you read the previous comments in the discussion where i stated the same thing i told you... I put "maybe" and got schooled cause i didn't put more options...Thought you were trying to do the same thing...

not personally but I have a jungler friend whose games vary like this. His last five games score:

8/3/15 0/10/4 11/9/11 9/5/9 5/0/15

he definitely loses hard when he loses.

There are multiple reasons

  1. Leveling experience requirement was reduced to half, making it easier to level up to lv30
  2. Dynamic boosting
  3. Placement is broken(I had a Bronze V friend who made a smurf and got placed silver 3 i guess the placement system is broken)
  4. Tutorial is trash
  5. Match making is broken

That's more a problem with game balance with regards to snowballing, rather than matchmaking. If snowballing gets toned down anytime soon it will take more effort to get a lead, and so skill differences will be more noticeable than they are now.

You mean so that people (can) complain games are too long again?

Honestly if they fixed snowballing without touching anything else games would be lasting even longer than they are now. Snowballing mainly decides when games are all but one for one team or another, so reducing snowballing would move that point of the match later than it currently is.

People can complain about whatever they want, though. Doesn't stop anyone around here really.
