Vainglory Forums

If it continues tp take 5 bad games to get to 1 actual decent match this game is doomed. I'd much rather wait twice as long for a better match, than be stuck in a 15 minute horrible game waiting to surrender - that makes me want to stop playing.

Recently in solo queue I have been matched against ridiculously high ELO players. As pretty I have been matched against players Simply Anazing to Pinnacle of Awesome. They can literally finish a match in 12 mins against players in Pretty Good. Worse is when it's a party that you have found in solo. I strongly disagree with being matched with parties who can discuss strategies and things. I totally forgot not understand the matchmaking. I thought the skill tiers were there so you can only be matched against people if same skill tier. But apparently not after I found out by contacting the support. They said you can be matched with higher players (And visa versa, when you are the higher ELO player) to make games'Competitive'. I laughed so hard. So basically any player can be matched with any other??? How is it competitive for the person who is high ELO facing the lower person. It's not even competitive for the person with lower skill tier because as u said they can literally finish the game in 12mins. I mean, it's ok if you are so good at this game,but an you at least go off into your own land of high ELO players (Which I thought skill tiers/matchmaker was for- but apparently not).

The way I see it, being matched with higher elo players is a good thing. First of all, being stomped by a full team of them can be used to gain experience, observe the match, their playstyles, adapt and improve. Also, if you were to win against them, you'll get a bigger elo increase while they will lose a ton. In other words, a win-win situation as when you lose against them, you only lose a tiny amount of elo, but gain lots of exp! In the end, become good, get your own teammates/guild and rise up there along with the rest. And honestly, when I was in the pretty good tier, I rarely encountered simply amazing+, it only start happening when you reach the hotness and even then, it's not that bad imo.

I don't think teams should be paired with solo ques. More and more I keep getting paired with afkers or people that have no idea how to play this game.

The current raining system is just bad. If that's how matchmaking is even done? I am pretty good I think and I can eve carry some battles. But when I'm being matched with someone that stacks boots in every slot. I can't do much in the end.

So please fix it!??

Thank you,

You alone can fix it. How ? Play every game until the end, don't AFK, until you reach Karma level 20 and The Hotness skill tier. Another advice, do not go past 2:57 in queue time, after 2:57 your opponents might be... Very strong... Or very bad, it's just luck after 2:57
Before the 2:57 mark, the system will create 2 teams with nearly the same skill tiers and karma. For exemple : both teams have a Pretty Good player, and 2 The Hotness players. After that, the system can not guess if the player is actually good or not, if he will stacks boots not. He can only see his skill tier and his karma level.
Low skill tier are mostly randomly obtained, that's why I say you have to reach at least The Hotness in order to have good teammates (and good ennemies) for sure, because only the real players can reach this skill tier.
To tell you everything, Vainglory was my first MOBA experience. I never ever played one before.
I slowly discovered how turrets kill you when you get close to them (yes, dying five times trying to kill the enemy laners due to the turret learned me a lot), why you do not want to build 2 boots, 3 armors, etc... I learned the damn hard way because when I started the game's tutorials weren't there as they are now. But I gave it time, and now I reached the Skill tier "Simply Amazing" with solo queue only. Every game I play is hard as F. The tension is always high as both my ennemies and my teammates are experienced.
If even I, who started as feeder was able to reach Simply Amazing, you can do it too, or at least The Hotness. Just give it some time
