More info on the matchmaking changes
The starting rating of players will be lower compared to the average rating to increase the average first-match win rate. This should do a few things:
- It will make it less likely that people at higher ranks queue into new players
- New players should be matched up with people more equal in skill to them from the active player pool
- New players will start out at the equivalent of a low Silver 2 rather than mid Silver 3
This doesn't address all of the issues people are having with the matchmaking and more changes are planned but we hope this is a good start. We'll be monitoring the impact of the change.
Good luck, have fun.
