I've only played 12 ranked matches, been mostly training but haven't run into any spammers. I've been seeing in some chats that people prefer player matches because you get better fighters. What do you gys prefer?

I've only played online a tiny bit, but I thought the matchmaking in Ranked was a little off compared to Player Matches, though it's possible there are just way more people playing Player Matches and so it's easier to match people that are closer in skill there.

Player matches are good for learning because you get to fight over and over, but because I have a good win/loss ratio people either decline or quit after a couple of matches, so I am currently preferring ranked matches until people level up and man up. Unfortunately I still get a lot of rage quitters. If any uk or European peeps want to fight, then add my psn id under my avatar.

Player matches because I'm trying to learn a new character, and if I went into ranked I'd get destroyed every time. Player matches I can just try new things.

Yeah, the same thing is happening to me right now. Maybe 6/10 decline and the rest last about a match or two and then ragequit or Quit before the next match. Every once in a while you get a guy that really wants to learn or will play an extended set. Today that was LuciusAxelrod for me.

Thankfully I have a list full or friends I can play with, or I'd go bananas :)

In player matches I'm 286 to 190. In ranked I'm 70-41. In my opinion Ranked has better players. 90% when I leave a ranked match win or lose I feel good about myself because it was such a great match. In player matches I get some decent fights, but mostly beginners or people that play with off the wall tactics lol. Haven't ran into many zoners online. So all in all... I love Ranked matches. I always get GREAT matches in Ranked.

KOTH is a terrible. You could play 5+ matches while you're waiting your turn to play one. Sure, you might win a bunch in a row, but you could have just played the same amount of games in 1v1 anyway.

Maybe I just have problems waiting :mad:

Player matches. I only played 2 games of ranked. The first time the guy quit and the second time I got what I wanted, the yellow lantern skin.

I just find that player matches are more fluid and I can keep playing and playing. But because my W/L was good I kept getting declines and rage quits.

So, I casually played my friend who got the game and let him rough up my W/L a bit so I could get some challenges accepted.

I don't care about W/L at all. I just want to get the feel for how people play other characters so I can improve my play style.

Neither, online is terrible.

People resort to either using the spammiest move or pick fast enough characters so that players cant react to the 4 frame attacks due to crap netcode.

Can someone react to a 4-frame move offline though ? I really doubt. Surely you can scout for it, but react to ? People have troubles reacting to much slower moves.

Player matches so we can keep fighting... Ranked you have to find a new opponent every match. That is fucking aggravating.

Ranked matches for the most part are pointless. I only play ranked when no one else good is on and there's nothing else to do. Ranked players usually are bad and will rage quit anyway. The argument of playing ranked to play a diverse set of characters and playstyles is weak when most of the people that play ranked are terrible.

Start networking and be social with good players. If all you do is play ranked matches to boost your meaningless record or to move up on an arbitrary leaderboard, you will only ever be as good as the scrubs you play.

With that said, 1v1 player matches and 4 player max KoTH. Anything more than 4 is a waste of time for me, and makes me salty when I lose to have to wait 30 minutes to play again.

My schedule (40 hour work week, plus having a wife and child) take up most of my time so online is my only option which is usually a couple times during the week. So I'm learning on my own pace (very slowly I think lol). I created this thread to see which mode provided a better learning experience. :)
