So I'm a silver 1 player and as you would expected, I am not really that great at the game but I still really enjoy it until ep 5 is relased. The matchmaking this season is so unfair that I can't even bring myself to play the game anymore. Normally you would expect that a silver 1 player looby would have people around the same skill level but no. The game keep pairing me up with plat and diamond players for no reason, but things keep getting worse and worse. For the last few game I've been paired up with even ascendant players now and my team is all bronze, silver and gold. The unfair matchmaking has been an issues for me ever since the start of the new ep. Now I can't even enjoy a simple unrated game but instead have have to bust my butt off to help my teammates which are normally bronze to fight against plat/diamond players. Right now there are absolutely no sign that Riot game will fix this problem in the near future. Also this doesn't just occurs to me when I'm solo queuing, cuz it's also the same even when I queue up with my friends that are around the same rank.

That is true. But they don't want to make any changes. They think that the game is IDEAL. But to be honest - they just need the ingame purchases)))) Let's ignore such "game devs"!

I don't think it's possible for Silver 1 players to pair with Bronze or Diamond players, either you lied about your rank or the people your playing with have lied about their rank

It is %100 possible. I'm bronze 2 and constantly get ascendants in my games. Im thinking about quitting unrated. Whats the point in playing unrated if its going to throw 2 diamonds and an ascendant in my lobbys. Team had to surrender 4x in a row to even get a descent match up. Riot basically doesn't care anymore. They pretty much only care about the pro scene and store purchases. The lack of any development on the game compared to others like league says a lot about their priority's.

Statikal75 Happens all the time, do you even play comp?

Fazzelen Yes I do, what servers are you on? It is possible for silvers to end up with bronzes but not silvers and diamonds unless there is a 5 stack

Hey Guys, Here is the latest on the VALORANT competition. Please click the links and watch a little. Enjoy🙂 https://oke.io/HitBviB https://oke.io/M7yJk https://oke.io/1wSlT

Same here in bronze. I'm bad at the game but I know it can be fun if I'm matched with other bronze players. It nearly never happens. I always get matched with silvers, even silver 2 and 3. I have never been silver, maximum was a short peak in Bronze 3, I am last of my team 90% of the time, get insulted for being bronze, get insulted for "throwing" when I'm just trying my best. I can't get out of bronze because once I'm about to reach bronze 1/iron 3 they add a smurf Reyna in my game who carries me until I'm again in bronze 2 with silvers / former golds in enemy team. It's a rant because I know for sure they dont give a fuck. They have a prerecorded answer when you confront them, they say "your MMR is the same" while they can clearly see the enemy is 30/8/0 and you are 2/12/0

I played in EP4-5, Matchmaking was fair. I came back now, it is horrendous. Garbage devs dont fix matchmaking, i am silver1, and get paired up with diamond plat players. Fu** the valo devs, i would love to see this franchise fail. F888n moron mfs.

Valorant have the worst matchmaking I've ever seen.: Page 2

Valorant have the worst matchmaking I've ever seen.

AboyNascar

I 100% agree. Valorant’s matchmaking system is so fucking ass, the devs only care about making money from bundles instead of fixing their game. Im gold and I get diamonds and ascendants on the enemy team while genuinely brain dead players in my team. To make it worse, most of the time these teammates instalock duelist and throw the game. The devs really need to fix their fuckin game instead of doing jackshit

Player

so true, the better u r the worse your teammates are and the better your enemies are.
playing better doesnt increase ur rank, just increase ur enemies level and decrease ur teammates level.
but rank stays the same.
it works also backwords, so if u throw, u get better teammates.
so just throw. rank means shit. u can have bronz player playing like plat and bronz player playing like iron.
my advice - when it happens, do a few games with zero kills, see how ur teammates suddenly gets better.
also the more u play the worse teams u get.
i think riot wants u to play, not to be fair. so if u dont play for a long time u get really good teams. if u play all day, u will get worst teams.

MoonMan

Im bronze 1 peak bronze 2. Ive been put in games with ascendant peak immortal players. Its not fun when you just get one tapped so often. Im clearly not at their level so why am i being put in their lobbies.

JankdaTank

MoonMan They seem to prioritise matchmaking times over anything else outside of ranked. It's really crappy that they don't even have soft SBMM for any mode whatsoever.

JaysonSjoblom

Statikal75 no, I am s1 right now too. And in unrated I will be going against platt diamond and ascendant on the other team. I have seen as high as immortal 2 in the same lobby as me a silver 1. In ranked it is slightly better, but I always seem to be fighting people at least gold, up to platt 3.

brokengame

that's why i stopped playing ranked match, almost every single match was imbalanced, either the enemy team has smurf account / boosting service, or my team just completely newbie. Yes, almost every single match I ended up in those situation, I rarely got a neck-to-neck match. It's like 1 : 10 ratio, 1 good match on every 10 imbalance matches

LollipopMaster

The game right now is almost unplayable. Why is a Bronze 2 Sage instantly headshotting me the moment they see me? I know I'm not the best at the game—hence the low rank—but it genuinely feels like Riot doesn't want me to rank up. I get one balanced match, but the other team remakes, and then the next 10 games feel like I’m playing in a tournament against top-tier players fighting for a multi-million dollar prize, like their lives depend on it.

Not to mention the horribly unbalanced matchmaking: my team has 2 Silvers and 3 Bronzes, while the enemy team has 2 Golds and 3 Silvers.

Mipobop

I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. I never play ranked, ever. Only unranked. I’m not that good but I enjoy to play.
As someone else said I get maybe 1 good game out of 10. I don’t mind losing it can still be a good game but when it’s so fkn uneven every single time I’m just frustrated.
I started to think valo devs is punishing me or something because I haven’t spent a single dollar on the game lmao, no skins or something

I came from Apex Legends (10k+ hours) and in Valorant I see pros and cons regarding matchmaking:

Pros

rank seems not matter, more some sort of hidden ELO aka you can have really bad Gold teammate in <Silver lobbies or really good Bronze player(s) meaning they communicate, do great teamwork
overall most games are close, comebacks are possible, games feel "kinda fair"
given matchmaking is done on "team's average skill" in some game you can enjoy being the man, carrying, in some you can learn, understand where you lack skill in, chill back, anchor sites more

Cons

same as in Apex hackers and smurfs just ruin the system, I am just sad to see in tracker numbers below 30 when I reach Bronze 3+ time and time again and those people EVERY time are smurfs or carried by one... so f annoying
in many cases I have seen that 1 good player on the team does not outbalance 1 really bad vs more similarly skilled enemies, that one player who does literary nothing is just such a liability be it information, map control wise not even speaking about mechanics and kills, those games are brutal as you feel like round is almost winnable but at the same time not at all, and those game in many cases end up with like 13:<7 and people get upset, flame etc. because they know hard -RR is coming despite most (all except that one player) did carry their ball / average or above performance

Still for me the sickening part is that if in Apex you can play ₇₀%+ of the ranks with fair bit of confidence that competition is legit and face then basically only hackers from Diamond+ level, then in Valorant I see headshot locking aimbotters with radars already at Bronze / low Silver level which is just sad.

And adding to that (while waiting on my 24h ban) Riot unfortunately treats in a way hackers in a more preferential way t.i. it takes time to ban them, while if I flame on someone like today (level 21 doing 48% HS and 43 kills (2nd place was like 18, average was like 13)) I get instabanned...I feel like if counter to smurfs and hackers would be as quick there would be less incentive to do that -> better matchmaking.

Eshshshss

Idk but for me since I started playing FPS shooters back in Quake 3 days I was always hooked by the task of cracking the game mechanics, tactics then improving my mechanics and thinking / decisions making to get stuck in always improving loop that makes me join and play the game.

Never understood players that went hacking to get instant results...imo its like drugs or alcohol = it gives you instant gratification with no effort (just have to install / purchase) but the "high" feeling dissipates ever so faster unless you go "pro / streamer" way of making this your life, make tons of money showcasing hacking skills and pretending all that time to be "naturally good".

Imo hacking is for losers = people who give up, who are unable to lose time to time and want to have only wins, fucked up mentality "if he hacks, I hack too". Leave alone the FPS games, I am sure people like that (hackers) have rough time in real life as there hacking = illegal activities => potential and most probably jail time or constant depression about the fact that you can't cope with the fact that you are not top 1% while not being able to hack in real life ...

I rather just quit and play single-player games vs participate in this hacker fest as I am in no way interested to have experience like in Apex where many report / show videos of lobbies where hackers play vs hackers and try to outsmart eachtohers wallhack which is tragic.

p.s. there is so many different ways where to spend money in life in a much better way than paying hack developers 🙂
