Cross posted from [email protected], but really applies to most games with matchmaking that I’ve played…

    But I don’t think that’s the matchmaking system failing to accurately estimate player skill. It could have done it perfectly and still felt way off.

      Yeah but I’m explaining the meme, not writing an essay like I was in the other conment.

        But maybe the meme loses its humor by having less of that kernel of truth that a good joke relies on? Like, if you don’t think the matchmaking is bullshit, it’s not going to be funny, you know?

          The only kernel of truth required is that most people have experienced completely unfair matches, and attribute that to the shortcomings of modern skill-based matchmaking.

          What exactly the mechanics behind those shortcomings are, matters little.
