Im mid/high masters i dont get this I get favored/slightly favored who are my lvl or above and get +2 - +4 for beating them and in case i loose i get like -25 its retarded.. i can get 10 win streak for 20 and loose once to get -20

EDIT: these whole point gains/losses seem way off .. i see some people on ladder with records like 25-1 having 300 points and guy above him is 320 points and record 27-24 this is just silly.

I don't think they reverted it, I'm around mid master and I faced diamonds and high masters when normally I'd almost exclusively face people around my level. I lost -1 for a game, and got +21 for another game, so it really seems like the range of opponents is still quite broad. Also, it's really annoying being favored in a zvz because I seem to constantly encounter all-ins and it makes ladder really frustrating sometimes...

Probably have to wait for tuesday maintenance to roll around to have this fixed. Kind of funny, I am in diamond and I play a masters player one game, then a platinum, then a diamond player the next; it makes so much sense.

It's not reverted on Europe at least and I hate that new system sooooooo much.
I don't see the point of having 1/3 of my games against awful players and 1/3 against players that definitely find me awful.

I can't believe that it's been changed back, in plat myself and my past 30 games or so have been against players ranging from silver to diamond. Including silvers who have been playing silvers, diamonds who have been playing diamonds, and just about everything in between.

In previous seasons the majority of games have felt very close, but a lot of these games are very one sided, just wish I could be playing people at my level for most games.

yeah i played a masters and a plat in consecutive matches yesterday.

I actually REALLY like the broad range of opponents as I like seeing what I do wrong when I get CRUSHED by people.
playing people right around your skill level is going to cause you to plateau significantly faster than playing people further away from your skill level
do or do not, there is no try

playing a 650+ point masters (pretty damn high 2 weeks into the season) and then a platinum player back to back. yeah, nothing suspicious about the match maker at all.


i wonder if blizzard made a legitimate mistake in failing to revert the changes, or if they actually just thought we wouldn't notice?

You are lucky, my spread is even match vs other diamond and on the top end a 600+ master leaguer :/

I wish I could play platinum from time to time

Ive been playing against people who recently got promoted to masters, I haven't played people in low masters for like 10 months, so yeah they've fucked up the matchmaking. It's definitely not reverted.

Dear lord this is annoying. I'm having such a hard time gaining any points because a single loss brings me back 10 games.

Do we have any official word about the matchmaking system being reverted on EU?
It sure doesn't feel like it from the range of players I've been playing. I personally really like it though but I do understand the frustration of the poster above.

Completely agree. This is yet another point where it would have been better to just implement the system of warcraft 3.

You will plateau as well the difference is you won't notice it as much because you will play against worse opponents more often. If your aim is to get better it's way more beneficial to have a constant stream of even opponents than having a fluctuation of skilled and unskilled opponents.

Why? The matchmaking before the changes was so much better than Warcraft 3 matchmaking. In fact the changes make the matchmaking more like the Warcraft 3 matchmaking where it was very common to play against a lot of different skill levels and ladder turned into a emotional rollercoaster because you either got stomped or stomped on someone while having an even skilled opponent wasn't the norm at all.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Half the games are much too easy, half are much too hard.
No idea how anyone could think it makes laddering more interesting.

Im just curious as to what difference it makes to your MMR? If you drop 4 or 5 games in a row to favored opponents does your MMR just get tanked? If so, that would be stupid...
