Hearthstone has better matchmaking than Smite. 7 out of 10 games I get decent players in HS. In smit its 6 out of 10. :/

Match making = Makes matches

When you ask for better match making technically Hi-Rez doesn't have to put better team mates on your team because match making just... makes matches.

It's funny because really matchmaking is fine.

A poor matchmaking system would be a system that doesn't... well, make matches LOL

Really matchmaking is just an excuse for getting a ****ty team, or playing against a really good team.

Best "matchmaking" is in Conquest League, because it's based on ELO/"skill level".

Guys, you do know that matchmaking decides which players you're gonna play with right?

I put down Smite for while because of the matchmaking. I know you should be playing for fun but I'm tired of getting paired with the "my first time with ___ so gl", "gonna pick new character because new always better", all squishies and zero awareness players; while the other team is consistently properly built. It would be fine if that rarely happened but it shouldn't be 7 out of 10 times.

Yes. But basically when people complain about matchmaking they complain about always getting bad people and the other team always getting good people.

Since clearly that's not the case, like I said, matchmaking is usually just an excuse for losing.

It COULD be the case, but when YOU suck, how do you know your fellow teammates aren't going "omg matchmaking put me up with this SCRUBCAT"

You don't want **** players? Play premades.

I've had games going 17-3, 11-2 ect and lost because the rest of my entire team was 1-8 / 2-7 / 1-7 ect. This usually happens in siege. It's frustrating, so I now only play hyper-carries like Freya/Art in that game mode so I can try to carry the entire team.

It would be nice if they'd just disallow pre-mades in normal que, and set-up a specific que for pre-mades to duke it out with each other instead. As it stands even with curse it's a massive disadvantage to go against a co-ordinated team with prior experience when all you have is a bunch of randoms.

If I'm 100% honest I would have to admit that I probably lose just as often because I screwed up as I lose because of having bad teammates.

IMO matchmaking is fine :p

But when you have someone going 0-10-0 with 3k damage in 40 min. I get that ppl want to blame it on bad MM :P

But then it's your job to carry, even casual games are matched by elo (hidden elo). So when you have someone bad on your team the enemy team has someone bad as well (the combined team elo is at least about the same) :)

wait so the normal conquest queue is made in combination with the pre-made conquest queue.

Have you ever played the pre-made queue once? I haven't seen bans in normal conquest queue but in pre-made I always see bans etc. so what your saying here is just BS because they are both other game modes.

it can be the hidden elo thingy but IMO matc making is just ****ed. I myself have been put in games with lvl 30 from lvl 20 and onwards on all the gamemodes I played. lvl 30 should only be put with lvl 30 (because there are enough if you ask me).

Also Do I call it ****ed because of the above part I literately got put on matches where there was a total level difference of 15+. This is IMO way to high for a total lvl difference IMO 5 lvl is the limit. Also on these matches (starting from somwhere between 5-10 lvl difference) I always see the lower total lvl team lose. This doesn't depend on me because I have been on both teams the higher and the lower.

unless you can explain this I will keep standing about matchmaking is ****ed
