It feels like playing with my friends poisons my solo MMR.

News & Discussion

Now I'm definitely not an amazing player, but I do believe I'm a bit better than the average player, as all of the friends I play with are silver to plat.

Playing with friends or solo, Like everyone, I win some, I lose some, and matches tend to be pretty close a lot of the time. But when I DO play with my friends, I almost always have a very inflated K/D (compared to the rest of the lobby) no matter who I'm playing .

And a 5-7 games of having insane K/D, no matter if we win or not, almost always leads to me having gigantic streaks of solo play where I'm matched with XIM quickplay demons that are like level 200+ on their given DPS or tank. Its not just me getting obliterated, my entire team is too. I'm coming off the biggest 15+ one-sided loss streak.

I do feel kinda scummy getting these giant K/Ds in lobbies generally below where I should be, but jeez this matchmaking has been hellish and makes me want to stop playing with my friends and even all together.😞

Does anyone else feel this way or experience this?
