[2021] Extreme Number of Low Level Players in Arenas?


Original Post — Direct link

I don't know if anyone else has been having this issue. I'm well over 500 with just under 3k hours in the game. But I just played 10 matches of arenas where not one of my teammates was above level 150. The majority were below 50. I'm not normally one to notice something like this, but it's incredibly frustrating to constantly be matched with people this low in level. I solo queue the majority of the time, and am normally with duos but that's a whole other bag of worms. With the recent influx of players for legacy it really seems like it broke match making.

If this is a way to force high level players to 'help' low level players it isn't working. And is actively making me not want to play unless I have a 3 stack, which makes the situation worse for everyone else.

I posted this here as the quality of player in this sub is normally higher.

Yeah, same here. Plus the two low level players usually have the same [CLUB] tag.

But I do believe this is what Respawn wants with their match making, so little you can do unless you get as good as people like Hakis who can just stomp game after game.

Not really. I am working on it.

Overall the fairness of a game is pretty even but we understand it is a bit tiring when level disparity is high in your team composition. It will improve.

How do you measure this? I have only anecdotal evidence but in my experience games were only fair when I played in a 3 stack where the game started to match us with other diamond 3 stacks. And that's only like half the time, the other half are either a stomp from our side or we get stomped.

Solo queue is always, without a single exception either me carrying the whole game or we get absolutely stomped. There is no inbetween.

You are right, it is extremely difficult from anecdotal data to draw conclusion but it helps us to identify and verify those intuitions. We measure every games. What are the skill of people involved, the expected outcome of the match,how long you waited to get into a game, what was the team composition etc.

So in your case, I may look to your trajectory as a player (to try to put what you are expressing into metrics I can analyze). Then we would look at your "stomp", so certainly your 3-0, 0-3 matches. Does it really represent 50% of your game played, trying to see why it happened (what were the level of your team mates / opponent, premade / not premade ), etc. Then I would try to generalize your player profile if I can see trends in the overall population of people playing Arenas.

And it is how we can iterate and make it better, so thank you for your feedback!

you might be with a level 50, but it could be a great players smurf account...it works both ways

You are right, I am speaking about skill when I say "level".
