@AcidicSoda44031 I don't think premade matchmaking has changed anywhere. They still use the skill rating of the highest rated player in the party to find a lobby for you. So if that gap is big, you are either way out of your league or expected to hard carry. I usually feel both as I'm out of my league AND unable to carry anybody. I'm probably right on the line between 2 of their skill buckets. Neither feel good most of the time, TBH.

I just played my first regular BR match since the update.  Duo queued in trios.  We got demolished off drop in an unpopular spot by a three stack all with 4K 20 bomb and highest tier teamwork badges. Can't say that felt balanced, fair, or fun to me.

 

I'm not given to tin foil hat thinking, like some in this game, but I sure did feel like I was there as cannon fodder.

@pandareno1999 As well you should because that is EOMM. You'll get 8 - 10 matches similar to that and then get a game where everything works for the W. Give the crack addict just enough to keep them hooked.

Played a few rnds of ranked last night and the MM balance is way better than it has ever been so far from that 5-6 game experience last night. 

 

I also played a couple of rounds of hardcore mode last night and it is great.

 

Ran Vantage and she is just spot on in the mode with the built in two shot knock sniper and then push with your to short ranged weapons to finish teams.

I literally destroyed a whole team and a half with snipers mark and an ult-excellarant.

Then don't be.

 

Not bragging just stating the obvious advantage Vantage brings to the mode.

@Asmodeus566cant confirm the MM working better than before, pretty much like it was. ok i had some good matches back2back (with good i mean not wins, but actually teammates that at least tried to make it, not dropping in suicide spots and having pretty similar dmg output) and i thought : oh yea, is the new system already in place ? but pretty fast changed to the same crap we are complaining about since months/years , with me pulling 1K+ and the wraith not more than 50 (in 16minutes of playtime ...) the next match! Sorry thats not what i expect from the new MM, dealing me a 50dmg wraith ...

Either its not active yet, or ... it still is a rigged system ...

@HappyHourSumwur yeah Max was way higher than me. I did not manage to kill anything in the first several games. You know what's funny? I finally got my first kill with Valk after I turned AA off, and downed another with a Wingman of all things. It was funny lol.

@hayhor You see man, this is the issue with sbmm - people expect that we all should be the same regardless of skill. Why tho? Do you, or anyone actually have the mental strength to constantly play your exact equal? I don't. Imagine a daily fist fight against yourself, regardless of how much you train to excel and your opponent always catching up to you regardless. Do you realize how hard that is? People think this makes things easier, but in reality it does not, in the long run. I do not think it fair for a product to plan your experience based on past experience. Why be harder if you are better, or easer if you are worse? Why not just "be" and leave it up to the players, like in custom lobbies? Those are the most fun, if you've ever played in one. With your narrative, no one would ever earn the 20k badge...think about that. New players you say?....well, play more to get better imo, it comes with time. That is how things work in pretty much every aspect of life - more = more, why interfere with that via a video game to gain playtime / money from it's players? New players should win less. School of hard knox situation I guess Standard smile Balanced is only good for Ranked imo, that is literally why it exists.

And also, sorry if I came across as hostile in previous posts. I don't mean to, honestly, just trying to get a point across but with the wrong wording.
