I totally understand why they are doing this. But that’s the worst solution they could possibly find to solve those issues. More than improving the mm, they are burying it in the sand. Literally. Most of vets spending time on mm have spent it by going premade.
And as long as there are not rental servers, scrim scene is utter crap in this game.
So we’ll end up having on one hand private matches with no server admin possible, thus making proper scrim conditions impossible to reach. On the other hand, a ranked mm which is limited for solo and duo queues.
You know what, I clearly don’t have a clue on how this is going to improve both attendance and balance on ranked mm. I was not the only to go on mm only if I had a full premade team. Most people who were doing this will certainly drop mm. So you can erase the 10% top tier players who were playing mm actively. How paradoxical ?
And the balance, how is it going to change anything ? The algorithm will try to create teams based on an average skill in both teams. First, it already does not work in current public games. But if two top level get mixed with 3 low dudes against 5 medium level dudes, the first team will still win, considering how the game works right now. So the three low bobs will get carried, the 5 medium will have an horrible time and get outclassed by 3 donkeys.
In my opinion, the best thing they had to do was to force everyone into joining full premade rooms instead of splitting everyone. I’m sorry but I really can’t associate “DB”, “Ranked” and “Soloqueue” in the same sentence. It has no sense at all, especially in dirty bomb.
What makes mad about is that they are lowering the standards once again. And everyone will benefit the same gaming conditions than someone who is too socially retarded to join a teamspeak. Toxic players definitely won that :(…
They can try it, but it won’t certainly grab more players than it currently does. There’s no reason why it would. The balance will be just as bad. And you’ll also have to fight your team mates that refuse to cooperate. This does not sound competitive at all.
More importantly, you can’t just expect the mm to improve on its own by just reformulating it. That’s a grand but totally ineffective gesture if there’s no proper content improvements coming with it.[/quote]
Pretty much this !
