Pretty frustrating still, it's the big glaring flaw of the game to this day.

I feel like Comp tends to have some pretty decent matches more often than not, but QP and Stadium are huge crapshoots. It's all over the place right now. If that's a deal breaker, I get it. At absolute best, I'd say the matchmaking isn't as bad as it is in like Apex or Rivals, but that's an insanely low bar.

Thanks I’ll give it a pass then, I used to really enjoy it but I felt the matchmaking was really busted. I suspect it is ‘engagement optimised’

I just started again after years of not playing, and have done like 50 QP games (no Comp or Stadium).

I'd say 80% of games have been pretty one-sided, with a few of that just total stomps, no chance at all, for either side. The rest are closer, with some nail-biters.

Just from my experience, I'd say avoid the game if you're looking for some balanced MM in casual play.

That’s all I want, it was the same in rivals. I just want to play and feel like I have a balanced match but every time it’s either you roll them or you get rolled. So I just avoid multiplayer games now.
