I’m top 10% diamond 1 in TDM and this is what I get paired up with, lost 118 pts on the match even though I was runner up MVP. I’ve noticed it a lot recently.

Yeah,
I don’t see how you can lose points on this.
Crazy.

Every match now.
LOL, just started playing ranked again last night. Pretty much nothings changed and every game is still a hard carry for a victory.
I’ve actually had no problems with progression in ranked though so that’s cool.
Ryan is correct.
I think your confusing what an even match is and a match where everyone is the same rank. He explained this in the Ranked video. Go watch it because it explains this exact situation.
Expecting the game to match you (Onyx1) with all Onyx1’s is asking for absurdly long match making times. you might be willing to wait an hour to get that match up, but most aren’t.
This is a downside to the solo queue. you’ll be expected to carry. Grab a team
LOL.
I don’t understand why Gears 5 has a tier system. It clearly has not worked since launch, and their “improvements” only made things slightly better.
yes I agree with this too.
Ranked has brought nothing but problems for me and my group of long time Gears friends. We were perfectly content to play Gears1/2/3 with no ranked system and have fun. All the tiers did was divide people to the point where some stopped playing with others because they weren’t “good enough”.
I’m not confusing anything. Even as in even skill. Not ranks.
Games like the op posted shouldn’t happen. There should not be such a huge gulf between teams. Ryan is not correct.
One side clearly has better players than the other. Or a more even spread of skills.
Use whatever words you want. No combination of words can make that scoreboard tell you that matchmaking is making fair matches. Unless you’re incredibly delusional of course.
I mean for god’s sake, the top player on the opposition had almost the same score as the 4 bottom players combined on the cog team. Explain how that was a fair match.
Just to prevent you from being pedantic, fair as in both teams had a more or less equal chance of winning the game.
PS: not sure what you’re getting at with onyx 1. I never stated my rank, nor is this my thread. Unless you used that as a hypothetical.

Now this I do agree with. Gears was more fun pre ranking system for sure. Where the only goal was winning the match at hand.
I’ve had so many friends stop playing the game over the ranking system it’s unreal.

I’m a masters as well and trust me when i say this but the game expects you to carry every single time. i get mvp or am at least at the top of my team every single game sometimes 10 straight and my team looks just like yours in the picture when i was climbing to diamond. in masters it gets a bit better but you face a lot of 5 man squads. I can literally post my scoreboard for the next 10 matches i play and it’ll look exactly like that (currently d1 after the reset). very annoying
Yes, this. This ranking system has caused far more problems than it has helped the game. There’s barely any fun in matches knowing that the slightest mistake can result in you dramatically falling down in rank.
Gone are the days where people, as you said, okay for fun. Not to worry, at least I’m sure they’ll fix it…
…eventually.
Merged some of this into the main ranking thread,
please continue any discussion there
