I can accept losing points until I feel it's fair. But it's not. And I'm not talking about losing 5, 15 or 25 points. I'm talking about those
fucking disgusting, annoying +10/-50 matches!
The idea is this: if you're Grandmaster and you play against a Demi God, it's 80-something
for you (the lower ranked player) and it's 10-20 for the higher ranked player. I'm okay with this although it's based on the false assumption that the higher ranked player is always the more experienced and skilled one so the lower ranked is rewarded for the challenge.
What's fucking not okay is that you lose 50. -50 on an assumption that you fight the easy fight. So every damn late starter Demi God and God can wipe the floor with you, score big (+80-150 points) and YOU LOSE 50 fucking points!!! And even if you win, it's +15 for you, your next game is loss, -25, you win one for +40. then you lose a -50, you're next match is another +20. This is a Daily 5/5 session, +75 for 3 wins, -75 for 2 losses. You wasted an hour, you gained nothing but a stomach ache and it's the usual business on higher ranks.
Boon promised an improved matchmaking that gives you fair fights. Yet you matched with Apprentices when you're Warrior, Warriors when you're Grand Master. It means fucking nothing that you're Grand Master with 80/76 when you're up against a guy with 28/7. Why should I lose
50? Why am I even playing anyone
outside MY RANK?
It should be always in you're rank, and it's either +50/-15 for
both or if there's a detectable difference in win ratio then let it be +40/-20 for the favorite and +60/-10 for the underdog.
That's what I'd call fair matchmaking. When I play a +20/-50 matchup, lose, then I'm paired with the same fucking guy 3 fights later and lose that -50
again, that's fucking bullshit in my book.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECLINE ALL OF THESE UNBALANCED MATCHUPS. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! Anyone who wants to play them, let them play it. Anyone who doesn't want this shit, let it be their choice. KL is a rage fest because it's full of random stuff and even the points system is disgusting and you're punished for everything.
- Did you choose your life and spent 72+ hours away for the game? -100 points.
- You can't find anything but +20/-50 matchups all day? -80 points.
- You're winning and your opponent pulls plug in the last second of Game 2? Big fucking 0 for your efforts. (I even lost points against pullers, what the actual f...?)
Ranked is the only thing I have any interest in this game and 80% of it is this stinking pile of shit called Kombat League with a week off between two seasons. I can't wait for The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima because hopefully those two games will keep me off of MK11 for a while.
God this rant felt good! Like the sigh of relief when a KL season is finally over...
