Unbalanced Matchups.

Just let this get buried if it was already posted, but i need to shunt some saline solution from my blood.

I've just come from playing CS:GO, and I feel that Valve's way of handling multi-queues is very good: If you wanna play with the big boys, you get to play with the big boys. This makes for an experience where you have to step your game up, or else you'll get flamed. It's fun.

In my all time favorite game, however, matchmaking takes a different approach.

Rocket League, one of the best games I have ever played, has the most unfair system I have encountered. In minor cases it makes sense and even looks to be a charming detail: a Prospect Elite and Challenger Two get paired with two Challenger One players.

But in the extreme cases, I want to put a dent into my desktop and uninstall the game: a gosh diddly-darned All Star and a Prospect One get paired with two Challenger Twos.

You all know what happens next, all star cleans house while prospect one tries to drive on the ceiling.

If nothing changes, honestly that's fine, I just needed to seriously vent after multiple unsportsmanlike experiences with unkind imbeciles.

Thank you for your time.
