Eonzerg has reported to wait 1 hour to play matchmaking. This is ridiculous. and i dont lag vs koreans. i used to play then on tr 16 80-90% of the time | ||

This isn't Blizzard's problem unfortunately. | ||

Actually, high level players were some of the most outspoken. EDIT: Though I do agree that if people wait for an hour, it might be prudent to voice a desire for change. | ||

so TR6 games are fine for you. kkk. If you are so good why dont you organize yourself a friendslist that is at your level. Bc it seems your so good that the playerpool with similar skill and reasonable latency is not big enough. | ||

Seems pretty bad for higher MMR guys right now. Almost unplayably bad from what I hear from people like Eon. Down around 1800 I'm usually waiting between 20s and 90s depending on the day and time. It's probably even better if you're around middle of the curve which I think is 1400ish. This IS by design though. The dev team specifically posted that they altered the match criteria preferences to favor lower latency and closer MMR. In other words, it will try to match you up initially for TR 16 games very close to MMR. If there is no one there, it will then begin to compromise, either looking towards greater MMR range or worse latency within limitations. If you're waiting 5' for a game, it basically means that there is nobody playing RM that is near your MMR with respectable latency. If you want shorter wait times, your only choices are to accept lower TRs, say 10 or worse, or accept matches with large MMR disparities in order to find a game. What everyone wants is individual, but the general consensus seemed to be that playing with lower latency and at reasonably close skill level were worth waiting a bit longer for a match. Nobody really liked playing people 500 MMR higher or lower than them, or in Eon's case he was getting like -1000MMR from him. If you're not getting Korean matches, it because you lag with them. Most people don't want laggy games, hence why you don't play them often. Not much you can do here. The vast majority of the playerbase does not want to play using TRs like 6, 8, or even 10 in most cases. You can say you were often getting TR 16, but that seems unlikely given that it's not giving you many KR matches. There is no geographic matching in the algorithm as far as I know. | ||

The lag was really bad before and if it was a question of playing tr8 games or waiting, I'd be fine with waiting. But they had one patch where they basically fixed the lag, so now it's a question of tr16 low with super long waiting times or tr14 with normal waiting times. I sure as hell prefer the latter. | ||

So I started playing with a fresh one instead - which is basically the same as being matched with people 500 mmr lower anyway. I used to be able to play tr14 low or tr16 high with koreans, now if I play during slightly odd hours, I have to get lucky to get an opponent near the same skill level.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. It seems that people at 1500-1800 don’t know the issues atm since it doesnt apply to them. I was able to play 14-16 TR vs koreans and now blizzard is like “uh huh only TR16 and even above” if you want to play with good latency. It’s just fristrating. I lpng for old ladder system now because of this. I miss fish ladder.. | ||

I think custom games needed for ladder, automatic doesn't do it if you queue together with someone apparently it still won't match you instantly at all, only tested it once though, I still think this particular matchmaker is just innefficient (at least it's not good at finding a far opponent quickly.. i can normally play against many koreans or america without lag) anyway just add the custom games ladder to it, we could just have both but also fix the interfaces bugs and slowness...................................... ok i'm done for now 1.16 on "public" server with ladder would be nice wouldn't it^^ | ||
