Can we fix this stupid fuzzy bunny already? There's no reason to throw me in a server with one other person having difficulties finding a match for the exact opposite reason as me when there are multiple higher-MMR rooms open.

I'm surprised that's still an issue. Prior to the matchmaking fix I would constantly get stuck with the lowest of low MMRs but the system has been working correctly for me as of late.

[JeffMagnum]

It's happened to me twice today, but I agree that it used to be a lot bigger of an issue before that change. I still get it pretty frequently whenever I try to play DM at times when most NA players are asleep, though. 

[Merl61]

Yep. I get this all the time.....

i have a really hard time finding servers available to me now

[Elite_is_salty]

I still don't get why good players even use the MM. I'm not even that good and I don't use it cuz I know how fuzzy bunny of a server I'm gonna get into.

 

Just get off yo bums and use the hawken heroku app to find servers that you can have fun in.

[JeffMagnum]

I can hardly ever join servers through the browser due to MMR restrictions, so quickmatch is the only option available to me 75%+ of the time.

Yeah, I was matched against IareDave recently and felt like an ant against a dinossaur...

 

I don't mean to blame IareDave for this, he wants to play as me, and he has the right to play as I have, but I think this problem can only be solved with a bigger playerbase, which should be one of the priorities of the new company that acquired the game, IMO.

The new MM threw me (16 MMR) into a DM with jeffmagnum, too.  I only saw short glimpses of his scout chassis in my periphery as I flailed about to get a bead on him, promptly followed by the garage.  I had fun with it, tho.

REKT. U fokin wot m7?

[spinningchurro]

Is there a perfect solution to this that is yet not implemented?

 

Or is the harsh reality that S-class MMR players will have to deal with some form of this phenomena for the life of the game?

I don't see any reason why they should have to. I only queue for DM when I check hawken.herokuapp and see that there are servers that'd be at least somewhat fun, so putting me in preexisting matches instead of with one other low-MMR player also having difficulty finding a game seems like a much better solution. I'm have no idea who designed the system to do this or why they thought it was a good idea.

That's over twice my MMR, so I'm not sure why we ended up playing together. This just proves the point I was making with this thread.

No, it was a T Rex, not this raptor =D
