Please keep the QQ to a minimum if you do not like this update. We are happy to hear your reasoning for not liking a ranked system, but no "OMG VOLVO WHY" posts. | ||

I'm not talking about being good or bad, I'm not bragging. I just know there is a big difference between my two accounts, and I just want to be ranked accordingly with my skill. If you're right and I can make up for the dozens of loss I got in normal bracket with few wins alone well that's nice. Anyway I will see, I'm not really whining, I'm just afraid I have to play hundred of matches before I can be ranked on my smurf. | ||

I think he's full of shit. The only thing that happened is that they removed the "don't match me with parties when solo." Which they probably did because if you had unranked parties/solo, ranked parties/solo and all the different gamemodes, you would either have 15+ minutes queue times or terribly mismatched games, there's no way around it. That being said, one of Valve's points in the blog post about matchmaking was: "Each team contains about the same number of parties. For example, the matchmaker tries to avoid matching a party of 5 against against 5 individual players." So it's probably safe to assume that 5 solo players against a 5 stack will never happen. Unless you queue for portugal language, on an african server with only least played mode, or something. | ||

Im fortunate enough to get 3-0 but im sure i will soon be on the less lucky side  . Really dont feel like good games, at least not as fun as my usual pubs matches.It should be expected that ranked matchmaking, less than a day in with players still playing calibration matches, won't provide the same quality of match as the regular matchmaking does which has been running for a couple years now. | ||

All the players i got matched with are, at very least, could perform around semi pro level in the game. However the problem comes from the nature of not being an actually team which results uncoordinated action while everyone were under the expectation of having a high level match. This leads to the game becomes 1 sided despite similar skill level that the matchmaking guaranteed. I guess I will have to play more to see if things change. TLDR: the mm is correct but the games arent fun | ||

Whatever, I don't give a shit, people were nicer than in usual games and the skill level was the same. As soon as I can see Meepo or any other unusual heroes from times to times in ranked games, I'm fine with it. It sux there are so few modes in ranked or that we can't queue for ranked and not ranked at the same time. I'm so tired of BH and NP at the moment, they're in 90% of my games and they all play the exact same way except for the very rare skilled NP who actually help his team. | ||
