We have a population of 23 million in Australias, so this might not affect USA , however since they changed the matchmaking to a skilled based format getting into a game has been nothing but a tedious , frustrating , boring and waste of time. Just want to
play the game not wait in a lobby for up to 20 minutes to play hardpont or LTS. When the game first came out and the weeks after u could get into game straight away , now it's just waiting in a lobby twirling your fingers.

Have you noticed all of the reverse boosters?

Skill Based Matchmaking. Great idea. Games broke.

I made a post early about skill based matchmaking. I'm pretty sure it's there, although some have denied it. It's purely obvious when you check the KDs of everyone in any lobby you enter. No one is within 0.2 of your KD unless they're in a party. With
that being said, I suspect that it's the main culprit of connection issues with this game.

.

Everyone is complaining about the lag and connections. That doesn't just happen to a franchise overnight, and as I said, I suspect it has something to do with the skill-based matchmaking. Ping and latency are being taken into consideration, but adding
another variable like skill can have unintended consequences.

[/quote]I think the "skill based matchmaking" is for League Play only. Core game modes are totally random or connection matches ONLY. AND the "skill" in the matchmaking is for Win/Loss ONLY.

Raise your concerns on the Respawn forums mate. That's where we are mainly talking about it.

^^Can you not read? BTW, NO games have a skill based matchmaking system based on "skill". I am also pretty sure that matchmaking is done after a "regional" search, and thank God for that. Connection is way more important than rank level in matchmaking. The
only way to stop what you are seeing is to allow NO parties in game and that is not going to happen. Any type of "true" skill based matchmaking could really only take place after a certain amount of time and/or games played, like say maybe have a skill based
matchmaking after your first generation/prestige, to be matched against ONLY other generation/prestiges, but even then, I would want a region/ping/connection match first.

You're going to just have to adjust and CoD has zero skill based matchmaking.

Luckily for you, CoD is a really noob fiendly game.

Chuckle, as if TrueSkill or skill based matchmaking can exist in a game like Titanfall. Riiiight..... Riiiiiiiiight. (yes that is a lot of sarcasm). As if Skill based matchmaking for a game that is unlocks and custom loadouts via xp can ever, ever, ever
be made to have skill based match making that isn't a total joke. The major, insurmountable hurdle to this is that self same xp based unlock system. It unlevels and unbalances the game completely; so badly that skill is not as big a factor as what one has
unlocked.

Titanfall is not an arena shooter were it has equal starts, balanced weapons and a balanced sandbox. Titanfall is a twitch based, arcade shooter that is all about a completely unbalanced sandbox and weapons that gives players an empowering experience at
the expense of those they curb stomp.
