I thought it was to even out the match ups, I’m currently just trying to get some ranked achivements with a character I’m absolutely terrible with so i reset and all i’m getting are gold ranked players still? doesn’t seem very fair given i’ve lost about 50 matches and only won like 10 with this character so far.
When you Requalify you go through 10 matches to determine your placement. If you perform overtly too well, then you will fall into a higher tier latter.
You can requalify again and just tank every match. 
well i got sorted into bronze, went 3 -7 and still seem to only be up against gold players, i wouldn’t mind if i was using my main but i only have 2 ranked achivements left -_- and now as im typing this im going against a killer player. the sorting in this game is so terrible. I think think it actually takes anything in account
Well when the game can’t find any bronze players, it opens up to higher levels. I would wait until the 16th of the new year though. Season 2 is free with gold and a lot of new players will be playing the game.
The issue you’re running into here is the playerbase isn’t particularly huge, at least during the times you may be searching. So what happens is, the game is searching for a partner around your level, but can’t find any. Rather than spend a huge amount of time matchmaking, it puts you up against what it can find.
And unfortunately for lower ranked players you’re still pretty likely to run into higher ranked dudes at any given time simply because the reason the people who have high ranks are the ones who play the game the most.
Might i suggest. If you are playing a character your terrible at as you say. Why don’t you go to a survival mode and try improving your skill and character rank before taking him to ranked league.
Also a lesson I had to learn the hard way, what does your defense look like?
I got the achivement, it was with mira, shes a tough cookie to use, it’s not that i’m bad with her per say, but im wiffing a hell of a lot lately and its screwing my combos up, I even went up against about 8 people tonight who I made quit because I was just bodying them, even gold ranked players, but then i’d have matches against some guys and keep locking out. I don’t plan on using her again other than for single player.
My defense isn’t too bad, blocking where needed rather than just rushing in, staying back (even if i can’t zone with her since projectiles drain health) and “reviving” where I can. I went back in after with my main and didn’t really have much on an issue. I think the issue with mira is mostly forgetting how much health I have, or looking at the wrong bar and thinking “i’m good” then realising i’ve got 80% of my health in recoverable state lol
Ahh OK. Who is your main? You up for sparring? My gamer handle is the same here GeneralScrebore. I main Riptor. Send a friend invite if ya like.
Matchmaking will be a lot better during late Janurary and possibly through February due to more players

I’ve had enough for tonight, been playing my xbox all day, but my tags Linkinworm if you want to add me if you’re on and ill probably be on tomorrow when I can stick a headset on. Rash is my main currently, but Riptor was my main for a while might get back into her since she was pretty OP lol
