@HeartQueen Forgot to reply on your answer, not just noticed. Sorry.

Personally i would like to follow you on the topic of "they would do things to make game enjoy able again"
because you going with "game being fun = more new players = more player base = better match making"
But i rather focus on how to fix the exiting one.
it's a stale mate, doesn't matter how fun you want the game to be people will be going away experiencing unfair matches all the time.
The player base won't grow in one go like "game is fun? insta 40k new players!"
no, it's new players playing a bit and liking the game to tell other people to play and so goes on slowly gaining more and in more noticed numbers in statistics of the player base within a bunch of months.

What we suggest? current situation solutions that can be improved the bigger player base gets.
You can have all fun and cool modes you want, but if little jimmy installs this game to face 3 GMs using meta combo in casuals he won't tell his brother to join and play with him.

But looking at the latest video in regard to AOC meeting, it seems hi rez or evil moji thinks the match making is just FINE.

@Shadowpuppy i never said i was good, and I'm not blaming my team, like i said my matches and quite a lot of my friends as well as plenty of forum OPs and streamers matches are usually extremely lopsided. Like I said before, just saying deal with it and get better just does not work. Just because Hi-Rez/EvilMojo decide to completely ignore it does not mean we shouldn't complain or talk about it. Because that's how multiplayer games lose players, if people want Paladins to grow then we can't just deal with whatever they toss out, we need communication and problems need to be recognized. They proved that they can crack down on bugs and glitches so there is no reason to believe that they can't/won't do something with matchmaking.

@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.
