The Valorant community on Reddit has once again engaged in heated debates over the widespread issue of poor matchmaking. Many players have expressed their disappointment with the presence of low-rated players in matches, believing it significantly impacts the gameplay.
The community has also voiced dissatisfaction with players who have poor statistics, asserting that they don't deserve a place in higher rankings. These statements have sparked a storm of comments from other players who have also faced similar problems.
One participant in the discussion, at Platinum 2 level, shared their experience, expressing frustration with the matchmaking, which they believe lacks any balance.
I'm tired of it. I'm Platinum 2, and there are Silver 3 and Gold 1 players in my matches. It makes no sense. If you have terrible stats, you don't deserve a place in this ranking because you constantly lose.
Another participant in the Reddit discussion emphasized that the issue of smurf accounts had been known for a long time and accused Riot Games of being unable to completely prevent the creation of new accounts.
Dude, you're fighting a losing battle. Smurfs ruin the game, and Riot seems not to pay attention to it.
Riot Games has previously reported on the results of the smurf account detection system. In 2022, around 17% of such accounts were identified. However, despite the developers' claims of reducing the appearance of smurfs, the community continues to criticize the developer, and in 2023, the number of complaints only increased.
