The new game update is nice so far. But seriously?` The new character Lyra is way too OP. She is both bulky, tanky and also extremely strong in her crystal power. It's almost impossible to kill her. I have played now several matches vs Lyra-players and they were all dominating us (1vs3). I mean she even dominates other by just beeing a tank. I really think that the devs need to NERF that new character, otherwise its no fun to play anymore. No wonder that alot of people are now ONLY playing...

If you want to achieve better skilltier levels, simply play with a team or people with a certain level of know-how. Also use discord or team talk for a better communication. Overall it is not that difficult to get to Simply Amazing Gold or to Pinnacle of Awesome. Just don't solo rank too much.

Frantik why did you leave? Oh btw. I don't really care anymore. I got dropped back to pretty good bronze now because of solo ranking. But I have also played vs PoA and VG people. And yes I can compete with those high skilltier players. I think it is just the lack of communication during solo ranked matches and different experience of each players. So I still believe that it is very difficult to get to high skilltier levels by only doing solo rankings. Playing with teams though is so...

Short update: I have been dropped back Decent-Ish because of solo ranking. Highest achieved sklltier was PoA. Playing with team mates and against organized teams I mostly win. Just saying that maybe my region is not the best and ideal place to play solo ranked games. I could tell stories you won't even believe ;)

Whats your karma and skilltier? Which region do you play?

Dude. Reach once the level of VG or PoA. Then play casual or ranked solo matches. You will get matched with total goofballs. No matter what you say. It is a total different league. Like literally a total different game. I might be the only one who is at PoA and VG blaming the matching system. But if you once hit the high levels you know what I mean.

@veneticius: I was bitching so much 'back then' until my guild mates started to team up with me. I am only playing with PoA and VG people since one day and I have dropped already because these guys are really superior skilled than what I am used to be. I am not bitching around now but just want to tell you when I started this thread I was at SA and dropped to PG. As my aussie friend has already stated I was demoralized and determined to keep on going and try my best to get back my...

Maybe that's also why I wrote this 'rant' thread and got extremely pissed. I have to add that I was ill for a week and I had to take 2 days off from work. That's why I wasted a whole day doing nothing better than playing like a dumbf* 45 matches. About the 'biased' meaning in that context. I used the term in a wrong context. All I wanted was to understate that the matching system has flaws. Another reason which came up to my mind: The more I played the more I lose. And...

@Booty: It should be clear that I was obviously not making a scientific study out of this...I was just trying to give you guys an example. I am not writing a dissertation about the system :D

Again: Skilltier: SA GOLD Karma: Great Karma No. It has nothing to do with my karma. I have reached PoA already playing with mates now. Now tell me again this system does not have flaws. I would have never be able to reach PoA if I went for solo ranked matches. Kudos to my guild mates and the ones who helped me getting PoA skilltier.
