Marvel Rivals has RUINED the MATCHMAKING

Are we gonna make a video on people talking about nerfing tanks lets defend tank mains

Again I think the issue isn't matchmaking or the community every game has issue players the problem in this game is every role is relied upon heavily in this season. In previous seasons I could win games with 1 person on each role playing well. We were able to make a difference and win games off those 3 players. It now feels like even if one healer lapses for a second someone instantly gets deleted. Expecting every player to play well will always end with a game in a bad state. NOT ALL PEOPLE WILL OR CAN PLAY WELL.

But not even that you can clearly get target banned even in quick play it’s fucking ridiculous

I'm tired of getting SVP literally almost every match that I've had, I keep losing from throwers and griefers- and I could pretty much chalk it up to being school kids who are out on summer break. Sometimes it's even adults who lack competence or maturity

Do y'all know how demoralizing it is to constantly get svp? Telling your teammates who are clearly underperforming to switch and they just don't— I've had multiple matches where they have a namor and I tell my flyers to switch, so to my surprise they do switch..... But to another flyer character, season 9 dropped when summer break is at its peak

Ngl my homie hasn’t gotten banned from comp for an hour

Im in celestral 3 rank and so far i been on a winning streak i guess im just a lucky few idk

I don't know how I found this channel, but thank you for voicing grievances with the game in a respectful but real way (that I relate with). Certain other games have a similar lack of handling toxic behavior and it shows more than ever in this day and age. I'd like to see the shadow ban idea or something similar tried.

PSA: It's not the community. It's the newer generations and the culture they have fostered for themselves.

The Internet issues usually come down to either firmware updates or a packet loop. You can fix both by tweaking your router’s settings or adjusting your Ethernet switch to stop the loop from overloading and resetting your port. That aside, I’ve also believed the real problem is mindset, not buffs or nerfs, you can adapt to those changes. A weak mindset mixed with selfishness is what’s hurting the game, and the devs are enabling it. I don’t understand giving up in games; it’s a challenge, never meant to be easy. The fun comes from going all out and pushing yourself and your team to the finish line despite obstacles. Back in our era, games didn’t have devs holding our hands, sometimes there were no save points until u beat the lvl, and if you gave up (ggs). I think they should remove the surrender option and gray out the leave match options in comp, just a crazy idea that might fix the weak mindset.

I’m usually hovering around 48% with a couple 50-55% winrate half seasons bc I suck, but the season where everyone is having bad matchmaking I have my best winrate going into the half season with 65% and I’m in my normal rank too

The only issue i have is when I get to gm lobbies I thought that people are willing to swap or swap roles and that wasnt the case... there were a few times people swapped.

i had a multiple games while doing my placement matches where enemy players were dropping 40+ kills on a brand new account. no previous season history or anything. hero playtime on bucky was 60 minutes with a 100% win rate. slam dunk smurf alt acc.

Bro I swear the last few days on both my accounts no matter how well I play I just get people that can’t get the job done or hold their own weight. That’s not to say I play perfect but I understand the game to a certain extent to be able to climb and win if I have competent enough teammates. There will be times I pick off both supports and my team still loses fights. It’s genuinely confusing, I know I didn’t somehow wake up worse in one day lol. So there probably is so form of matchmaking cheese going on here. But I won’t solely blame that as a reason for people not being able to rank up.

they legit made a video saying that if ur a better player, u will be put on a team with worse players than u to see if u deserve to climb. how is that fair to the better players?? the reason the streamers are starting to say stuff now is that it's FINALLY reached their ranks. we've been having to put up w this bs since launch.

im going to have to disagree with adding more penalties to leaving. When OW did it toxicity increased like crazy and those guys that sit in spawn and try griefing became more common. It's a video game, people dont sit there and reflect on when theyre misbehaving; they do it either because theyre mentally ill or just like being a pos.

I have known for a fact that the game pairs you with throwers on purpose. When I play with a 6 stack of friends my win rate goes from 50 to about 90. And you may be saying this is obviously because we're communicating, of course you're going to win more. What you need to understand is that my friends are genuine troglodytes. They are morons. Medical abnormalities. Communication does not help. But the fact they are able to face the correct direction and stand on the objective with me makes them 100x better than the random Marvel Rivals selects for me. My friends at least actually want to win.

The console slander is ridiculous 😂

I thought it was just me. Every game I play I end up think, "Man, how are we all the same rank?"

I either experience people WAY better than me or WAY worse than me.

Every season is getting worst and worst. Either my team is lit ass or I'm with standard human beings with some neurons. I'm GM1 and I swear only 10% of my games feel "competitive".

Hey Dark. I joined your discord community early on in the games life. You have built an awesome community. Anytime the ranked grind has gotten too much I like to hop in your custom games just to bring back my moral and it's always a great breath of fresh air.

I dont understand why you even wanna punish people for leaving because if they cant leaving they are just going to throw or afk. I personally would rather someone leave and get replaced than be down 1 the whole game

Plat is pure chaos right now 😂

The reason why the matchmaking is bad and feels like it's getting worse is because of the player count. There was a huge player pool early in the game's life, so there was a very large spread of varying levels of talent. As the seasons progressed and the player count shrunk, which is expected of the lifetime of any game, so did the talent pool. Because the developers are prioritizing fast queues over match quality, it is very common for people of vastly differing skill levels to end up in the same matches as each other. The pools get even smaller when you account for region, time of day, day of the week, etc. out of all of my friends who have dropped the game, they always cited the same cause; the matches felt terrible to play. One side always runs over the other, with extremely rare exceptions.

The devs are fighting a losing battle, and it shows.

What yall got against us console players Lmao😭😭

That’s why no human being should play rivals

Player pool is contracting. The ability to generate good, competitive matches is receding with the player count on the ladder (and the way matchmaking in qp is only loosely that). I thought this was a PC issue, but it turns out the console players are saying the same thing. It speaks to a bigger problem that Netease is having with retaining player interest and the failure of qp->ladder pipelining in Rivals.

I know that a lot of people are freaking out because their "natural" rank is now functionally out of reach for them due to the declining playerbase. I'm not worried about it.

I've been experiencing this bs as well and I just got into the game more than 2 weeks ago. Got into comp recently when I was past level requirement and got enough practice with certian characters, and found ones that were my best. Then got thrown into matches with bad teams and against sweat teams. All I've seen was ALL duelists and three stacked strategists with very low effort healing. I got 2 wins and 8 loses on the competitive rank set thanks to these teams. Quick play feels the same way too.

They should create a system of social score or approval rating where your teammates giving you a thumbs up increases your approval, players with high approval more likely to get matched together within their rank. Instead of the current system where they penalize us by putting us with 4 consecutive insta lock one trick spideys after a streak of good games. It’s honestly BS! I’m so tired of one game of good teammates the next game it’s toxic or selfish triple DPS comps.

I swear im getti e botted

Tell me out here in these woods, Is that unforgivable?

I saw Jay3 lose like 17 out of 20, and he was getting SVP the whole time....I felt truly bad for bro ass. But yea, I'm so tired, like, I get motivated to play, then some bs always happens in my ranked games. I just let all my accounts fall to silver 3, idc no more. And yea there are games where somebody makes a mistake and we lose, which is whatever. Most of the time it's truly a thrower or somebody just unwilling to help the team. Last night, me on Strange and a Cyclops were ROLLING the other team; next round our teammates decided to switch roles, and we HAD to switch to cover and lost.

Been a while my guy, hope all is well

Just tell dude to be healer to get outta bronze… easy

I love how he said u cant fk round on window n throw nomo cus you’ll be mvp 😂😂 n i gotten mvp few times even rn as I’m playin 20 and 5 😂😂 I barely started playin her too
NOMO ZAZA PICK 😂😂😂

I really can't play on my main with the very few friends left that are playing. I always warm them when doing qp if my win rate is over 50% because we'll get beat back down. None of the MM feels good. You may get one of of 20 or so that are well matched games, which to me are the most fun to play. I love it when every play matters and both teams are fighting in OT with 99%. You actually feel like you earned something. What it usually feels like is a teeter totter where it's either your turn to go up or down, absolutely no impact on the what the algorithm has decided will happen. My amount of games played reflects this as well as I used to play over 100 a season and I might play 20-40 at most now. Comp and QP just feel like a chore and all but 2 of my RL friends have quit citing MM and throwers as the reason. I've been dropped back to bronze hell just from not playing comp and I'm really not sure if I'll even attempt to get it higher. I have to play on the server sometime, been on there forever but never played. I'm thinking it might actually make the game fun again.

Yesterday I had multiple teammates in multiple QP matches complain and rant that I was intentionally throwing. It got to the point where I gaslit myself into thinking I was. Turns out (seen in reviewing my matches later), I was the only bronze in a lobby full of gold ranked players on both teams. Multiple matches like this. It was not fun. (If you're curious, we did not lose every match but I cannot take credit for those wins.)

Celestial player here. For quick play, I'm either smashing gold players or going against Eternity/OAA stacks. There seems to be no middle ground. I'm either pub stomping or going against full stacks. Isn't too fun

I'm doing an experiment right now. I have two different accounts, both started at the same rank, Gold III. My one account is STILL at Gold III and my other account is Diamond I. I play 4 games on each account per day, in no particular order. My old smurf, the one that is now Diamond I, I have been getting winning team after winning team after winning team. They switch when it isn't working, they communicate, etc. On my main account as soon as I log in I either see 4 instalock DPS or an Adam Warlock / Jubilee / Ultron instalock combo. They never communicate, and my supports are constantly getting half of the other teams heals, and our tank is ALWAYS negative. ALWAYS. So it's not me, it's based on my specific account. That doesn't seem fair or how matchmaking should operate and it's been really interesting.

My roomie and I have been complaining about this. We run duo and keep having to practically carry our teams because they don’t know their asses from their elbows. Meanwhile the enemy team damn neat steamrolls.

I'm an Emma main who is still waiting on a classic Emma skin

Guys just google “EnMatch”

After almost 750 hours, I'm done. Uninstalled the game today. Screw the devs, and the community who loves to throw matches can burn in the pits.

Finally uninstalled yesterday, game has it's moments but on average the experience is just so miserable and exhausting.

Can we stop with the, “fantastic is good on console; there is no hit scan players; magik is a demigod!” Yo who is telling yall that 😂 I’m eternity/ celes since like season 2 all i see is guns with uncanny aim. It just confuses me like we are just playing a different game. If u pick scarlet fantastic etc u will get washed up I promise u

At this point if I have two losses or I’m clearly getting a bad experience I just go play something else at this point I’m sure net ease knows what they are doing with the matchmaking it’s been bad since season 0 they know why it’s bad they won’t do anything about it.

I’m a heart stuck diamond and that’s OK with me. But the fact that even in diamond people intentionally throw, it’s just frustrating.
