I am just ranked sliver, but the match making system keep making me play vs ppl in gold or plati league. Those match was a living hell. The match making system suppose to pick ppl from my league to play with me? Right? Or is there not enough SEA ppl playing sc2?

ur winning rate is high, they will try to arrange you to fight with higher rank player

either that, or the system thinks you may be worthy for a promotion thus paired you with higher league opponents to test you.

we talk about it here already https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1586398

what's wrong with facing people of higher league? i like it, i learn more and when win, get nice nice points too.

yeah, i like to face higher rank player, can test ur skill bro.

Whoops sry i did not read that topic

I am juz barely winning now.

means u are above silver level. but man i hate it when i was in gold rank 1-3, then the system pair me with some high diamond or high plats. damm screwed man.

Well, I'm in platinum in US server. I've been playing against ALL diamond players after the placement match which is quite ridiculous and ALL of them are favored and top 10 in their division. Well, i don't know how they arrange the match. But in SEA I'm already in Diamond so, no problem on getting to diamond in US also

P/S : Quazacolt, I'm in Diamond already in US server.

would it be alright to say that the system thinks the other guy may not be worthy in his diamond / platinum league, hence pit him against lower league players as a test?

so to go gold level i need to be wining a lot of higher rank players. I hope i can get into the gold league. MMM is so powerful ~

This is funny. I was on a 4 losing streak. Then I won a game vs a 4 ranked gold player, after the match I was promoted to gold rank 5.. Weird..

lol.. its normal.. i'm in silver league for 1v1.. and my past 4 matches were all with diamond players.. very stressful.. dont really like playing 1v1 cause its too damn stressful to play.. XD

if the 4x player losing streak you faced are way higher players (MMR, or league is concerned) and your losing difference is not much, you're actually considered "gaining MMR" instead of losing.

you may refer to the screenshot of me losing and yet promoted to diamond rofl. (yes, lost the game, not win)

TS. the same goes for me.

i feel you bro.

the worse part is they'd always tease you in-game saying they're in bronze league or sumthin. in the end. facepalm.

the system thinks you're worthy of gold league then.

and you do realize that you're in Division Felanis Victor that has only 13 players?

Wow a new league opened for you =)

tonight i better start playing again, see if can go into that one. LOL. WLR drop from 77% or so to 50% liao but i learn a lot.

77% @@ tht's awesome

no, i think that one was being VERY LUCKY.

The games i have been playing now are quite equally match now. Anyone wants to play with me tonight?

i want!.. im in silver 1... cant get promoted =(

Just keep winning, you will get there~ I know how u feel

on losing streak -6 vs gold/platinum. grrrr.. all zerg!!!

it does nothing when i streak against gold/platinum.

focusing on custom game now, better.

i played a platinum player and blizzard told me it was "teams even"

battle.net choose your quick match based on match making rate (MMR) which is remain hidden by the server. Do some reading here. it'll help

here are more detail explaining about MMR

For my 2s team we were gold league. Fought a team that says we were slightly favored to win, so we won that game and we got promoted to Platinum. Checked the profile of our opponent, they were silver team only.

So don't worry about winning better teams to get promotion. The system will promote you eventually as long as you play your games.

I've had friends who got promoted from Platinum to Diamond after losing 3 games to diamond players. Weird but true!

if u read TL's theory craft about MMR, all of these make sense lol...
especially when u have some comp science background u can sorta picture out the whole algorithm behind it...
