XYZ festival matchmaking

I'm guessing Konami has implemented an MMR system. Most likely it'll take a bit of time to settle but if it works right should ensure alternate accounts of people get matched with their skill level. That's at least how MMR is supposed to work.

I really want to hope that's the cause. This game really need some tweaking to rank system.

I don't mind much in Legend Anthology, because at least it's casual themed low power level format, but I don't think this one is okay.
My match history is more rainbow than Spectrum Supreme.

Could be due to people being like "i stay low so my event matches are easy".

Is that really a bad thing? most of the time we play these festivals for the gems anyway might as well do whatever gets u in and out of there the fastest

The entire rank system is such a mess, just because Konami doesn't want you to derank for more gems.

Don't know if it will stay this way but you are playing shortly after it opened in the middle of the night for NA players. I think by tomorrow this specific problem should be pretty much fixed. Now the shitty ban list the event has is a different problem altogether.

It's better this way, a break from the sweaty ladder once a month.

Have everyone that's at least gold in the pool. And if people start sandbagging in silver till the events start include silver as well.
Beating up on rookies and bronze is bs.

Kinda hard to smurf in sliver and below since you cant derank there. You would have to forgo all your dailies to stay there till the event

I mean, you can jsut do the dailies with self ftk in that case. People are degenerate sometimes and if enough people are degenerates Konami propably should intervene in that case.
But yeah, the average gold stayer propably isn't that degenerate.

I think it's good that the festivals don't have ranking based matchmaking. If you want that there's always ladder. Every festival is supposed to be casual apart from the Cups, not only Legend Anthology
people were literally saying "im gonna wait until after the event to rank up so i get easier wins", making a decent size of the playerbase just straight up not play for half of each month
so not having rank based matchmaking for event changes nothing for you, the honest player (people way better than you were already smurfing at your rank beforehand) AND it brings the playerbase activity back up, which is better for business
this change is an absolute positive on all fronts and people who don't see it are very near sighted
Alright then here's a counter argument. You can't Smurf rookie and silver so those players are mostly newbies with a few of them being veterans making new accounts. Its unfair that new players have to face gold, plat and diamond players. They will get absolutely murdered.
sure, we can exclude rookie through silver from the random pool
their queue times might be significantly longer tho
I don't mind much queueing into people near my rank bracket, but you can't justify rookie queueing into diamond. If that's an actual new player, it's extremely stupid and unhealthy to the game.
What would you feel if you get matched against high ranked player if you just started some other games? That's a very bad first impression.
smurfs make rank pointless anyway
