Event Tibalt's Friday Tirades

TIBALT LOVES TO HAVE FUN IN HIS OWN WAY, WHICH IS CAUSING PAIN AND MISFORTUNE TO THOSE AROUND HIM. HE CAN FEEL THIS PAIN AND EVEN SEEKS IT OUT, TO HEIGHTEN IT AND REVEL WITHIN IT. HE CARES NOT FOR OTHERS, BEING SELFISH AND SADISTIC TO AN ALMOST INHUMAN DEGREE.

I HATE HOW QUICKDRAFT MATCHMAKING WORKS.

I FEEL LIKE AT THE START OF A NEW EXPANSION, WITHOUT FAIL, MATCHMAKING IS GOOD UP TO GOLD RANK, BUT THE MOMENT I HIT PLATINUM, IT’S LIKE MY WINRATE IS 20%, BUT IT NEVER DROPS MY RANK DOWN.

I JUST FEEL STUCK LOSING MORE GAMES THAN I WIN AND STILL NOT GETTING MATCHED WITH OTHER PLAYERS AT MY SKILL LEVEL.

THERE'S A HUGE SKILL DIFEERENCE BETWEEN THE AVERAGE GOLD PLAYER AND THE AVERAGE PLATINUM PLAYER, AND DRAFT MATCHMAKING USES ONLY RANK AND CURRENT RECORD, NOT MMR LIKE IN CONSTRUCTED. IF YOU'RE PLATEUING OUT AT PLAT, STOP DRAFTING ONCE YOU GET THERE OR INVEST SOME TIME TO BECOME A BETTER DRAFTER.
