/rant I am genuinely done with it, I have no idea how it works in detail, I remember the early days with ELO but it clearly doesnt work now! Massive runs of huge wins or massive runs of huge losses. Three days now and I've played a lot of games and had less than 5 wins, many of them 12-0 losses. The other side of the coin is I'll go a few days with many wins and many of them heavily one sided. Rinse and repeat. No wonder players arent staying. Winning or losing in close fought matches are the best, but they are so few and far between because the teams are generally massively imbalanced.

There has to be a better way of balancing teams, clearly 5 tiers isnt working, it needs more granularity. It currently takes the top tier players a much longer time to get a match, but surely if the pool was larger but balanced better then you would get many more fun matches and quicker ones rather than skilled players waiting for ever and fun matches being the exception to the rule.

I still fondly remember the early days of MWO with brawling and much closer matches. I only came back 4 months ago now and whilst I have rosetinted glasses and there were many problems back then. This current iteration of balancing teams just doesnt work
