Yes, but you shouldn't get matched against people with high MMR more often than low MMR, unless you are in low bronze. It can happen by chance of course, but not on average.

Why not? If I am as good as a high master player, why shouldnt it let me play against high master players?

Because the system doesn't know you are as good as a high master player. Your MMR is what the system thinks your skill level is at. Why should the system give you more opponents above your MMR than below?

I guess everyone was quite unhappy about it. Many rants about fighting people ranked higher and losing.

It was a really good change. Seeing how you can match up against much better players is good experience. Also it gives you a reason to try harder against everyone cause you know they might be way better than you.

This was the reason that this was an awesome change!
I am not saying it wasnt bad for forever Bronze players and IdrA's, because it was.
But for everyone else this was the best thing to happen, you'll get a better sense of the game if that Terran 10min tank push comes at 8 when you have better players playing you and you get steam rolled. You'll be like "Woah I normally own that, better accommodate this new timing" and BOOM your working at a much faster pace than if another player came with a 9:30 and you barely survive.

I still think they should just work around the top/ bottom end of MMR not the rest of us

I liked it :/ The main complaints i could find about it were from bronzies and team gamers. Making it optional and only for 1v1 would be perfect but that might be hard to have the matchmaking system working with everyone preferring something different.

I didn`t mind Blizzard trying it and I give them props for taking it back fast, after realising this isn`t helpful at all.

Sure, it would only work in cases where the weak and strong are looking for each other, but things like that make the service better.


This would require an interface change, which simply cannot be done.

They tried something, gathered data, and found it didn't work so they stopped doing it.

Sounds perfectly logical and worth a shot

Good work ^^

I actually thought it was brilliant and i was happy that it was implemented.

I've been playing way better then against my mmr opponents, just because i know i can do better but slack alot when i play my mmr opponents. From all the favored people i still have a 58% winrate over them, and against only my own mmr opponents it's only 59% :S

Lol it was fun playing really weak players one moment, and then playing that one random masters player. I just wish it would have told me when i was playing someone in a lower league.

Are you sure they changed it back yet? Yesterday (when it was announced) I did play several players that were VERY noticeably better than what I had played before.

Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

This doesn't have anything to do with the match making system; but has anyone noticed the increase in zerg players? It looks like there are more this season... anyways, back on topic. It was a good idea tho, maybe if the players went against people in their own league but at higher levels? Like it would be possible for a low silver to go against a high silver, just not often.
