Hey everyone, I’ve noticed something frustrating after the supposed matchmaking changes. I was expecting to see less overlap between tiers, but I’m still encountering Tier 8 players in my Tier 6 matches. This just doesn’t seem fair, especially since Tier 8s can easily dominate Tier 7s. Can someone from WG explain why this is happening?

The testing is focused on reducing how often we see the +-2 matchmaking. It’s not gone entirely; it’s just less frequent, and it’s limited to EU1 right now. If you did a bit of research, you’d find that out before posting a complaint.
If you’re looking for more details, you can actually check out their official post on the game’s website. They have all the specifics laid out there.
Even with the experiments on EU1, there’s a chance you’ll still end up being the bottom tier if there aren’t enough Tier 6 players queuing up. It’s a tough balancing act.
Just to clarify, the matchmaking changes are only being tested on the EU1 server right now. Other servers haven’t been updated yet, and it seems the adjustments you’re expecting may take a while.
Yeah, we need to keep the pressure on them about this!
Thanks for the info! Makes sense why I’m still seeing 8’s.
