Issues with Matchmaking?

Dakiras:   Firstly, don't get me wrong. I'm not having a dig at you or anything, I just quoted your posted because I wanted to highlight a few things that a lot of people raise which your post kind of resonates. It's never 100% impossible to win, just maybe rather unlikely sometimes.   Skilled MM argument: If what you say about getting onto a win streak is true, and if someone empirically tests this and find it to be true (with actual numbers) then should it be considered that a 'soft' skilled-based MM already exists? Are you getting matched up against better people when your WR goes up, or is this just a perceived change in the game?   If not, then what you're noticing is called "Apophenia" which is mostly psychological, and the tl;dr is a condition of noticing patterns in otherwise meaningless data. I've caught myself on the same train of thought as you before with other games that have match-making, but there was no conclusive data so I attributed it to apophenia.   MM is two-side. This one is actually aimed at everyone posting and commenting. Think about it for a second, if you're getting bad MM, then what about the 15 others on the opposite team? Are they somehow blessed? Nah, because those same people in the next game might go into a "hopeless game" or however they want to call it.   Streaks occur, and I've just come out of a really bad streak of losses (or what felt like it.) ...Maybe I just got a bit better at the game, and slowly my ketchupy-ness is drying and hardening into something a little less squishy (likely 'cause I'm still super noob).  

Dakiras:   It's always a bad thing for us to lose players, but to be honest if you're feeling much better and happier for it then that was the right decision for you. We don't want to force people to play just for the sake of playing. Play the game to enjoy it, or to get better; whatever you motivation, just make sure you are happy with it. If not then have a think why you're playing the game (or doing anything) and review whether it's worthy of your time.   Sorry to derail. Life advice is often subjective, but don't do something you don't enjoy. It's a bad way to play games. :)   I was going to say more, but in writing this post I've actually forgotten some of the points. If it pops back into my head at any point I'll post again. :P   Edit: Oh yea, I remember. STAHP FITES!   Seriously, everyone can have a point of view, and do things their own way. Let's not derail this thread into arguments and bickering over things you disagree with. If you disagree with anyone, cool. Debates are good. Just remember there are ways of conveying your point without being abhorrent towards other people.
