@Kearvahn HiRez gave up on e-sport for Paladins. I am not sure what's up with the matchmaker. Maybe it takes into account, how many reports you got or how much money you've spend. It became very weird lately.

If you look here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g05xgJnAR0JQXzreEOqG-xV5cd0izx67ZvOTXMZe_Zg/edit#gid=1046469928

You can see that single players win 48% of their matches while groups win 50-51%. So grouping up can improve your winrates, also because the Match-Maker can't target you anymore, if you are in a group.

@M3RC3N4RI0 this isn't true, the exact same thing happens to me, the only matches i see are from 4-5 stacks of high daimonds and GMs that group together just to have better chances of winning, i have played in these groups plenty of times, we won almost every match. I stop joining them because it's too easy, then even after going from a 65-70% winrate to a 40% i still almost exclusively get stacks like them on any server i go on.

@U1342403721 not just the bug queue when you successfully made a match it you will have high ping

@Carlolrac555 said in Ranked matchmaking is broken:

when you have 4 people in your party, things get easier,

Not necessarily. The larger your group is, the better are the opponents the matchmaker picks against you.
