I wonder why these complaints only seem to come from players of team-based games. I have never heard anyone call for an outright removal of skill-based matchmaking in 1v1 games like Starcraft or Super Smash Bros. Is it because the lack of teammates means you can only blame yourself for losing?
- cubic 6y agoOh, absolutely. I'm actually pretty sure I can count on one hand the amount times I've seen any of my friends / clan mates who consistently play pvp modes blame themselves for a loss. They are very quick to assert that they're "carrying" when they win, though. I have seen some of their recordings, the difference in performance between them and their teammate is much lower than they think.
- saddestcatever 6y agoI've always wanted a metric for how well talent correlates to victory in a given game. For me, Super Smash Brothers Melee is a great example. Let's say I'm rank 1,000 in my city, and I play someone rank 250. I expect to loose 99% of those games. I can't say the same thing is true for Call of Duty. It may be perception bias, but I think there's a LOT more variance between skill and victory. What's the breakdown of expected to actual performance? Would it be a 90% win rate, etc?
