The matchmaker has the tendency to create a "veteran team" and a "potato team". You don't believe it...?
Then just have a look at this: https://mwomercs.com...aker-is-unfair/

I hope that pgi will realize that the matchmaker has sometimes a strange behavior and they can fix this problem.

Because you cannot in any way reliably track individual performance no matter how your algoritm. It is virtually impossible and no one has even gotten close to it. Every attempt ever made turns into what we also have today: people statpadding instead og playing to win and that ruins teamwork.

That was a great video, and I agreed with a lot of it, but it missed a very huge point that's been slamming nearly every player of this game in the face. The video focused on Tier advancement and rewards, whereas in THIS game the greatest reward a player can feel is actually being put on a team of similar skill to their own. That's it. That's the biggest thing ANYONE wants dropping in a quick play. And that's the single thing that PGI refuses to offer players because ANYONE, of ANY Tier, can be found playing in ANY match at any given time. PGI decided for the player what a reasonable wait time should be, and if that time limit is reached, the floodgates open for a free-for-all involving player tiers and skill.

Seriously, fug that noise. That is my single largest complaint about this game. Solaris was supposed to address this but it failed MISERABLY. And yes, that deserved all caps. Last Sunday during NA late evening I dropped into the Tier 5 queue to have a match and... I was the only person awaiting a match in that tier for 12 minutes. I have other things to do with my time but I left at that point. Literally, a match could NOT start because there was NO one else around. So I guess what I'm saying is that PGI did this to themselves in that players that want a more even play experience are simply heading to other games to get it, and the volume of players continues to shrink. GG.

Well my opinion on the matter is that... [Redacted]

...and that's what I think.

The solo queue game is like chess if every piece on the board was an individual player and each player only cared about their own performance.
