Does the matchmaking system consider player skill? It seems like my winrate has been very low for quite some time now. Shouldn't I be playing against worse enemies at some point, or does the matchmaking system not consider player skill/winrate?
The matchmaker only looks at the ELO number, which is hidden for us unfortunately. But if you are rank 1 on Wehr 1v1 ladder for example, it means you have the highest ELO number out of all wehr 1v1 players.
The "search radius" or how you wanna call it, gets bigger and bigger the longer your search.
So if I am rank 1 for example:
In the first minute, the system looks for mates and enemies within the top 10 approximately.
In the second minute within top 50 approx., in the third within top 100 etc etc.
If no match was found within 8 minutes, you get dumped into a complete random match where it's possible that your teammates are rank 10.000 and the enemies top 200 & vice versa.
