Matchmaking was changed yet again for me.
I feel the change in matchmaking every so often, in the past i have felt it as often as biweekly.
I have felt the changes in anticheat in past too, with hitreg in easyanticheat always feeling off compared to denuvo...
But man, I still can't get used to this never ending "esports ready" complete randomness in matchmaking and game feel every 2 weeks.
ever since this weekend pretty much, i have felt Unranked cashout change once more. For a few months now unranked has been ranked except without visible seeds and sht. Now it's once more i get literal bots on my team again.
I just hate this A/B testing shit Embark... I'm not a fking guinea pig... I can fking tell... I actually liked more consistent slightly "stricter" SBMM of past few months when available.
I just played some unranked earlier, and deleted just about the WHOLE lobby except for 1 team, which i did wipe myself a few times even, but my bot light teammate ended up being lvl 36 vs what felt like near or at diamond level enemies in final. He kept dying first non stop and had literal 0 support for us.
I haven't had this noob teammates in unranked for literal MONTHs now, maybe since season 9. But that changed again in what felt like 48hrs ago.
Whatever... A/B testing shenanigans... Every new play session i know i should never feel bad for showing Embark's metrics that I can in fact choose not to feel guilt as i press that "Leave match" every time embark puts me in a lost cause match in pointbreak after i win the previous one. If my teammates don't deserve the win and EOMM decided i need a loss, i'd rather not participate in those theatrics... I ll just leave and eat the loss that way... thank you very much...
I haven't Vs'ed as many bot enemies as today in weeks or months. And the one unranked i faced ruby enemies first fight teammate just quit.. The match right after the one i dominated in with a noob lvl 36 teammate. And so i left as well.
Enjoy your metrics Embark... I know you swear by them... I just want you to know that i can tell your bullshit manipulation...
Thanks... I hope i earned enough reports by deleting literal newbies today by the dozens. You're welcome... I hope they all quit their playsession because of me... You're welcome...
Good matchmaking... No manipulation whatsoever... No EOMM... No A/B testing... No SBMM.
Embark would NEVAH! ,NEVAH DO SUCH A THNG!.
