Unfair matchmaking

#14

If that’s how you feel, do your quests to make sure you earn gold. Get orbs to improve your deck(s). Look at the wiki, there’s even an offer for 5 free Mythron orbs. That gave me a pretty good boost.

If you feel it’s your deck that’s lacking and not your skills, play gauntlet, their deck choices will be just as random as yours then. I myself suck at gauntlet, so I’m pretty sure it’s something I’m not doing right and not getting. However, I’ve saved and acquired cards. and I can play with decks that are still pumping out cards I’ve never seen before. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Complaining won’t get you anywhere though, not in Duelyst, and certainly not in the real world.

Duelyst is quite skill intensive. A budget deck can get you to the top with proper declbuilding and piloting. If you ask for help we’d be more than happy to give it.

Duelyst is not an easy game but we help you with all you need to have success.

First of all I recommend getting a good budget deck for your favorite faction.

Then read the positioning guides.

Both of them you can find here: https://duelyst.gamepedia.com/New_Player_Guides (it also shows you how to get some free orbs)

Then if you want more help, just add me as a friend ingame and I will do a video replay analysis for you to help you with positioning.

Believe me positioning is way more important than deck strength especially in Silver because everybody is misplaying. To quote ImprobableBlob: “The trick is to do less misplays than your opponent.” True words :slight_smile:

I think you guys are right. I should see some guides and do my best in the game. Sorry about all the drama.

But in reality I was recently matched by S-6 being silver 12. It seems we have less players than ever.

This is true. We don’t know exactly how many players are left of course, but considering that in the past silver players were not matched with s-1 and queues in diamond never took over 5 minutes we can conclude that there are much less players left :slightly_frowning_face:

At least that happened in the past too.
Can’t talk about the diamond queues though because I never had times like that. Numbers in higher divisions are not growing though I think.

I was not aware that in the past silver players were matched against s-1.
But I can confirm for sure that queue times in the upper ladder are much longer then they used to be.

I’ve matched against Scientist when he was S1 and I was still in gold.

And this was back in 2016

That “this didn’t used to happen” is rubbish.

I recall hearing of you and other players in gold fighting s-1 in the past, what I don’t recall is any silver players claiming to have the same happen to them.

I’m not quite sure what the fixation on first seed is given that S rankers have absolutely queued into silver ranked players multiple times over, especially when S rank population is fairly sparse this time of the month.

I have played vs S as silver.

Recently or in the past (1 year+ ago)?
