Unranked Automatch Hack

Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2016, 21:34 PMRappy

I have played a few games with Brosras in 2v2 recently where his arranged team that is actually ranked number 1 (allies) comes up on CELO as unranked. I investigated his match history. It appears their games are usually against ranks far beneath theirs. I think there is something fishy going on here. They are somehow blocking their rank from being used to find appropriate matches.

I spoke on shoutbox about it earlier and someone else mentioned they had seen other high ranking players coming up as unranked when they have easily enough recent games to be ranked.

Can anyone give us any detail on if this is possible?

Thanks
ps. Please move to more appropriate subforum.

I have noticed that since the update a while back, automatch with randoms is now more interested in finding a same level teammate than it cares about equality of opposition these days, but that shouldn't mean arranged teams are like this.

Oh Rappy, this pain I know all too well mate...
As a 4v4 guy, I was in tears by the end of my 12 losing streak as Axis over the weekend.
Not sure what's happened to matchmaking, , but it's really bad of late

Please answer me this:

What rank is equal to or above 1?

Only the last point is at all relevant to what im saying (if you read it more carefully - as in, I know why my team was unranked), but thanks. I didn't know that about CELO and rank 1.

I still think its weird he is getting matched with unranked people and people down in the dumps. They were quick matchups and loads of people online. It happens a lot.

I tried a few random 4v4 matches as OKW. It was painful. I think the problem is just that most of the better players don't play a lot and automatch will eventually expand the search.....

Make a new Thread for searching a 4vs4 group. So you are not random anymore!!!

Good suggestion Panther!
Trouble is I have a sporadic work schedule and cant exactly commit to playing at a set time.
Plus I'm down under, which means odd hours for the rest of the world
