I am not happy to hear that, but unless they do something visible such as deliberate teamkilling or team treason, there is nothing you could do with it.

Yup. That's the biggest problem. Very much making me not want to continue playing... Again...

There are also some stomps due to previously T1 players deliberately tanking their matches just to lower their tiers... I had 3 matches filled with them just this morning. They want to drop in tier, and they don't care who they drag down with them. (they literally said so)

If their reasoning is that match quality sucks and they're tired of being stuck vs toxic groups and players; then I don't blame them. I'd do that myself if I didn't think it unethical; not enjoying the new system one bit.

But being in T2 means that they will meet mostly the same players and groups as when they were in T1? No big change here?

you mean the 1337 players have zero interest in competitive matches and just wanna club seals? Well color me shocked, that's the exact same reason they whined and moaned until pgi deleted the solo queue & forced all solos puggers to be cannon fodder for the premades. It's also why group queue and factioon wars died, and why the rest of the game is now in a death spiral.
Maybe pgi will start selling your choice of tier placement in exchange for MC, kinda like they do for name changes.

Been playing all morning too.. Sooo many one-sided matches with my team stomping and getting stomped.. very few close matches.. I estimate about 1 in 5 are close, rest are completely one-sided..

Let's hope that the situation improves after the players separate into their Tiers.

Can't screenshot VOIP. And sadly, I didn't get a screenshot of the match either.

Well everyone wanted fast queues instead of matchquality. Deal with it.

The whole thing about asking for the PSR to be changed and reset was to drive toward quality over quantity. The threads about it nearly universally agreed that people would happily trade longer wait times for more balanced games.

A small percentage of the small percentage that use the forums is not really a representation of the popuiation. Just because some people would happily wait whatever time for a perfectly mathmatically balanced game that should end in a draw every time, doesn't mean enough people want that to actually drop 24 people into a match,

Prior to the reset it was admitted that as little as 24 people could be looking for a match, hence the MM would just throw them together. Drop just a handful from the population who don't want to wait 10 minutes for the perfect match, and what do you have then? Spoler alert- no match.
