@CailMacDonald
EA has a published paper on a match making system developed to maximize player engagement via putting them on teams that will most likely lose, only to put them on a winning team when statistics predict they will stop playing if they don’t win. Thus, once on a winning team and securing the W, they will keep playing.
@Cimlite
Devs are lying about this. Plenty of games has this form of matchmaking. I don't know about Valorant specifically, but Apex Legends has it 100%.
@Cripward
There is nothing i despise more than winning a few matches because we had solid teammates, only to get stuck with some absolute goobers who dont know how to play for the next 6 matches
@ALC570
Remember when game devs focused on making fun games for player retention and didn’t just consult psychologists on how to make things as addicting as they can?
@themuddyrug55
Losers queue is 100% real. Its all about keeping you playing the game
@meddios
It just makes sense that if there were 1000 matches in 30 minutes, half of those players just lost a match going into the next one
@case_in_point
Thats why i say "lose twice? Get off."
@Net-s4k
Me dropping 30 kills while my teammates cant get 10 combined is my fault
@ShouVertica
Why do developers spend so much time making players miserable instead of just...normal matchmaking?
@otakurt1149
Dev basically said; "Skill Issue"
@AllalAllala-p7m
The last tyler1 clip, it’s so good
@tankata2
Losers queue feels very strong esp in OW and Valorant.
@m.d404
Ahhhh the good old esl gather times when no hidden thing was saying to me who i play with i could choose Gaming was soooooo much more fun back in 2000
@thelordoftime803
Riot is never able to answer me this simple question: Why do the enemies get better when I climb, but my teammates stay at the same skill level?
@NotAnAmerican
Riot wouldnt show their code because lying on twitter has 0 legal consequences
@Bs_Void
That's why usually when im already on a 3 in a row i just stop playing
@p41n8
It’s literally the same hidden rr matchmaking where if you lose a ton ur real elo drops well below your displayed elo and it puts you in with similar people who are all playing bad for their ranks, along with people from that rank itself, aka bad dia players playing in gold plat lobbies along with good going gold players and plat players. Which in turn creates more toxicity as people blame the dia for being bad cuz they used a third party app to check his rank beforehand
@xaius4348
As a certain riot employee said, its not possible to even design a losers que.
@shoresy6943
It is real when you play support. No matter how good you play. You'll end up with bummed out teammates.
