Scummn, Ryda, and a 3rd i forgot (sorry!) absolutely rolled the lobby. This is not a humble brag for how well I played or criticizing them for playing against me. It is the fact that someone as high as this is playing against me at Plat1. This should NOT happen.
That is 3, practically 4, ranks higher than me. That is like me playing bronze 1s which would never happen. This happened this Friday afternoon and not even a low population time.

That is pretty messed up.
hmmmm would you say, you could benefit from stronger SBMM?
What skin is this?
Can you play ranked quads or is it just trios?
Dude same. In Plat right now and I’ve played countless top 250 and iri teams… I don’t understand
I can’t even matchmake with my squad, it gets stuck searching for a match. Solo queue only is not fun playing against stacked trios.
unfortunately they cant constrain those top players to their own lobbies bc it would take too long to fill a match… or so they say
Not enough players too fill lobby’s or streamers have worked out how to get easier lobbys again? Either is viable truth either way this should never ever happen and just shows that the game is in the worst state it has ever been and everyone should show them how they feel with their wallets and stop buying shit.
from patchnotes:
Launch Matchmaking: During the Resurgence Ranked Play launch period, Skill Division Matchmaking restrictions will be relaxed, allowing players who climb into higher Skill Divisions faster than the rest of the population to find matches.
The cutoff seemed to be gold 2 about 3 days ago, once you hit gold 2 you instantly stopped seeing bronze/silver and only gold2 and higher. from my recent 200 players i saw 99 plat, 71 gold, 22 diamond the last 8 crimson/iri/top250. This was when i was gold 2. Not a single person lower division than me. Not sure if the cutoff is different now but its unfun to be punching up against every single team you are playing against.
Warzone Ranked lobbies are supposed to be fairly open in terms of skill divisions, that’s the whole point of the deployment fee. You aren’t supposed to be facing drastically better lobbies as you climb divisions, you’re supposed to perform in each lobby to a point that sustains your SR. That’s why you started that game -39SR and could’ve hid in a corner until T8 and gone positive, while Scummn and co started -250 so needed to win the game and get around a dozen kills each to break even.
If a whole silver lobby starts at -10, almost every team in the lobby is going positive, but if a whole iridescent lobby starts at -110, almost every team is going negative. There’s 17 teams in a match, it’s not going to find a lobby of all equal players at all hours in every region, that’s why the SR system is the way that it is, to make it harder to gain SR as you climb by way of deployment fee rather than skill of the lobby.
Literal skill issue here lol
Sorry, nothing shocks me in this game anymore.
If they added Crossplay with CoD mobile and added a Wallhack for mobile players I’d be like “guess that makes sense”.
They take away aim assist on PC but 5 years in a row they do nothing for people who take advantage vpn…then they look like God’s by the time it’s edited and hits YouTube and they get paid for it…it’s honestly sad how money hungry all these companies have gotten….
Yeah, it’s sick running into top 250s when you’re not close to the shit. Somebody sent me a clip of unrational bitching about Aydan being online at the same time as him. It’s a flawed fucked up system, and it won’t get fixed anytime soon.
That’s how warzone ranked works. There needs to be worst teams so higher rank teams have a chance to gain SR. They can’t matchmake around rank or it wouldn’t work. It’s a dumb system where they can’t matchmake around rank alone or no one in high ranks would gain SR so they need to add a couple of good teams against average teams.
I’m gold 3 and my friend is plat 3 and we played against T250. Ranked is chaulked
3 words “ping is king”
Cause no one plays the game anymore
