As if this topic needed to be hammered down anymore

This was taken while there were several 1900-2100 lobbies going on at the moment, but instead, the matchmaking placed me matches with very low mmr players who were also having difficulty meeting the criteria of joining matches closest to their MMR range. This system was just like the old one, and I know Josh reverted the matchmaking back to this after the backlash of all the forum QQ threads and/or survery results, but surely there can be a compromise and some simple fixes that will prevent the highest, or lowest of mmrs from being placed together when there are perfectly viable rooms available for both parties.

 

Maybe is time for you and other special snow flakes to go and play minecraft or something... just saying.

Let me get this straight.

 

Are you saying that if people have a high enough ranking that matcmaking becomes a problem that they should just leave?

 

Some of them have, from what I can tell, but I'm eager to hear your justification for why high level players leaving the game could possibly be good for it.

They can do whatever the hell they want, in fact they do, smurfing has become a real issue lately for keeping a match balanced. In game I can tell you with 90% accuracy which team is going win based on the player's names within the first seconds of the match. Bitching and moaning to unlock the servers wont solve the real issue here, there aren't enough players plain and simple. I'm sorry but you are not going to find more skilled players other than you and your friends.

 

And if you go smurfing the only thing you will achieve is noob pwnage, which in turn drive off potential new players and there for potential new skilled players.

Last weekend was especially scary to see so many players just leaving mid-match saying X player or X smurf ( you cant hide your smurf stench, fuzzy bunny) was cheating.

 

So?, they should just leave...?. No of course not, no one skilled or not should stop playing this game by being disappointed of it, but they wont find new skilled players that easily, sorry but it is what it is. I don't really have an answer of what should be done to solve this problem other than Reloaded needs to grow the player base ASAP.

 

I have seen some players that sucked back in the day become awfully skilled too, so given it time you can have some new names to test your mettle on, but doing fuzzy bunny like smurfing and ruining less skilled players matches will only help to the demise (again) of Hawken.

lol, oh man.  You make me laugh, my sides hurt.  I don't know how much more of this I can take.  You really think you got something there hounddog.

 

Why don't you do some simple math and figure out how far you can travel in 3 hours from where ever it is that Xacius resides.  You might be surprised at the results.  I'll even let you use the maximum speed possible on the freeway completely neglecting things such as traffic.

 

At least now you've agreed we can quit discussing CCW laws and where they are valid in the state of California should you have one, so maybe you'll quit bringing that deadhorse up.  Now if I could only get you to understand the simple formula of distance = rate times time.  And the fact that anyone in the United States of America are free to travel to any other state UNRESTRICTED.  

 

Also, I don't remember using the term "house" in my original post, I faintly remember using the term "state", maybe I used a poor choice of words in my altered state.  I honestly don't remember what I wrote that night, thats how unbothered I am by it.  I'm sure you'll respond by posting my whole post again, which I look forward to for more than one reason, but mostly because I'd like to read it again honestly, and see what really got all your jimmies rustled.

 

Others have explained the simple issue with your stance Nept, and you refuse to acknowledge it.  You should of listened to them.

 

No, no.  

 

See, the issue is that you made two statements out of the blue:

 

1. You brought up, seemingly out of no where, that your concealed carry permit was valid in the state of California, and that you were only a 3 hour drive away from me.  

 

2. You even mentioned (jokingly or not) that you'd be entertained by using me as a form of target practice.  

 

Don't try to fuzzy bunnyng weasel your way out of this fuzzy bunny.

My not very thought out solution.

 

3v3 ranked TDM 

 

Map pool excludes bazaar, front line and last eco because of size

 

10 placement matches for a seperate MMR that is only for 3v3 ranked.

 

matches don't start until 6 people are in the game.

 

leaving mid match results in strike. Players with strikes are matched together. Strikes go away as you complete games.

 

Leaderboard for 3v3 ranked

 

Run the 3v3 ranked MM in seasons so every few months it gets reset and everyone can jump in again to see who is the best.

 

LETS GO SKRUBS

 

 

 

 

My reasoning.

 

Give the high mmr players (and everyone else) something new to do that is inherently more competitive than the game modes we have now. It would have its own mmr seperate from standard 6v6 so we can re sort everyone and give that rush of progression to veterans gain.

 

3v3 so more likely to fill the lobby.

 

Seperate MMR from 6v6

 

 

 

IareDave has started a thread about smurfing that deserves a well mannered discussion in the replies. Stop derailing the thread please.

*Edit* SS: Wow.  Are you actually trying to pretend that you weren't threatening Xacius, jokingly or no?  At least pretending that you were joking was half-believable.  Pretending that you were having a conversation about concealed carry laws isn't.

 

Pretending, no.  There is no reason to pretend, this is the internet... remember.

 

No, no.

Lets see, you know where all this started Xacius, you are smart enough to deduce how all this snowballed.  You brought up seemingly OUT OF NOWHERE, statements about my political affiliation and firearms trying to paint a false image of me I violently disapproved of in the post I reacted to.  Remember?  So it wasn't really out of the blue now was it?  I was just explaining to you some things you might not of been fully aware of.

 

Don't act like your original post that I replied to wasn't intended to harass, defame, ridicule, and get a reaction from me like many of your other posts.  Do I need to provide some of your examples?  Remember, think about the reason you posted what you did, I think you wanted to get a reaction from me, did you not get what you wanted?  Do not lie and overact that you are an unwarranted random victim in all of this.  Both sides were talking trash and exchanging unpleasantries.

 

There is no reason for me to weasel my way out of anything, thats why I've been trying to move onward about this.  Some of you aren't willing to accept that, and want vengeance and severe punishment, and won't be satisfied until you get it.  The way I see it you and your friends are overreacting trying to make your position seem stronger.  I'm sure many others can see right through that charade.  Its the reason Nept made his "on warning points" callout thread, attempting to force peoples hands.

 

Thanks for finally showing up though,  While I personally think its futile, maybe we can work this out and put this to rest, just you and me, since Nept has no power of attorney.  What are your demands?  You want an apology or something?  Will that somehow erase history and make everything vanish like a fart in the wind?  I certainly don't think so, but whatever I'm willing to entertain the thoughts for a moment, I guess.

 

Good to see you finally.

Why are some gun people so vocal about it when nobody around them cares?  It's like a normal interest you can have, only with potential murder implements, so maybe don't throw that fuzzy bunny around so casually.
