HeatRacer Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Since BW will not do anything to prevent inappropriately-geared players from queuing for ranked, I think the least they can do is make it fair for both sides. To make things fair, when solo ranked matchmaking puts teams together, if it puts a PVE-geared/sub-1900 Expertise player on one team, it should put a similarly geared player on the opposing team. That's the only way to make it fair for both PVEers to be able to participate, while also making it a fair handicap to the opposing team. To prevent people from trying to con the matchmaking by wearing PVE gear and then switching to PVP gear in the match, the queue should lock people from swapping gear while they are in queue/match, similar to how they cannot respec. (Note: this only applies to Solo Ranked since Team Ranked people have a choice of how their members are geared). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ld-Siris Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This doesn't eliminate people in conq/part gear. I see that way more than ppl in pve gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatRacer Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) tbh if u have an ungeared player or someone leaves the match you shouldnt lose more than 3 rating The problem is, that would get abused, as people will intentionally leave a match as soon as they're up against a superior team so that they don't 'lose'. People who quit and hang their teammates out to dry should lose twice as many rating points! Then again, the scrubs who leave matches like that probably have crappy ratings anyways and don't care about it, or screwing other people's ratings over. But supposedly, people already lose less rating when they are stuck in a 3v4. Edited May 7, 2014 by HeatRacer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scylence Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It is a pain, and the whole daily and weekly missions they added while have make the que pop a little more frequently they have completely destroyed any reasonable matchup system. The only way a daily/weekly should have ever been implemented is if : Bolster was removed from ranked and a 2018 exp req was in place even to simply que for ranked, and your gear+components were locked in as soon as u qued. The matchups also need to be more balanced as to not place multiple of the same class on a team unless they are of a different role As of now, rating is meaningless. It is less then 1% sign of skill. When you go 13 matches while getting matchups like 3 sents on your team and a merc, and the enemy is composed of a really nice mixup sometimes even 2-3 snipers..... or like this thread is about... a PVE player..... there is no skill involved. There are certain comps that are just easy mode, some matchups that are an auto loss/auto win. Until that is remedied, rating is pointless, so ofc you are going to find pple who would rather drop out even if its after the first round... and get back in que quicker hoping for a better match. This is not even counting the win traders and que syncers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCaliban Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It doesn't need to. Sure, conq/part. isn't ideal, but it's still better than PVE gear. Isn't there a stickied thread that says PvE gear is better than Conqueror? And Brutilizer depending on the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
