It used to be that whatever class I played, the matchmaking would somehow conspire to put another one of that class, and quite often two of them, in the same team as me when I was playing solo. I’d go weeks without seeing an Ogryn, right up until I switched to Ogryn, at which point 3-ogryns-and-one-lil-un teams became like half my matches.
Weird stuff.
Anyway, I played a lot of Damnation this weekend, and noticed something strange: this was no longer happening. Something like 10 out of 12 matches were perfectly balanced, one of each class, functional teams - and the other two, the doubled-up classes weren’t what I was playing.
Did a backend thing get updated at HQ? Did I just get absurdly lucky? Is the higher player count making matchmaking more balanced?
Or am I just imagining this?
Please let me know if your experience matches up with mine. The plural of anecdote isn’t data but it’d help to collect them regardless.
