If there is a matching system, why is a win or loss always a landslide?

  • I never feel like I am having fun anymore when I play, it's like the matchmaking system chose which team was going to win before it even started.

    Right, MOBAs and RTS games tend to have an inherent 'snowball' factor. This is the main reason you are seeing lopsided games--it was not necessarily because of the matchmaker. We've had discussions in the past about how 'snowball' League is and whether we need to adjust it, but that's a discussion for another day.

    If Team A and Team B play 10 games, every game might be lopsided; however, if Team A wins 5 games and Team B wins 5 games, technically it's a fair match-up.
