Unfair matchmaking

[boronian]

the past silver players were not matched with s-1

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.

[phoinexflame]

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.

[eurasianjay]

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.

[phoinexflame]

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

[boronian]

I often saw posts about being in silver and playing against s-rank.

Within the pat year. (maybe year +2 months)

Its worse around the first week of the season

Thanks for giving me another name for the ribbon watch

I used to be in S8 and I still lost to gold players all the time.
