Just a plain and simple issue that probably kills more players than anticipated. The matchmaking cannot work on a level basis. It's incredible frustrating and beyond me how they thought this is a good way.

This game needs MMR based matchmaking. If the player numbers are low, match with queues of 5 minutes. If you still cannot be put into a game put the people in an empty map.

The death of this game won't come by teams being put in empty maps and getting free loot. It'll die to people getting continously run over in any end game by pinnacle players.

Our whole squad is around gold on avg with a few silver and a few plat players. Getting matched against pinnacle players just because we are high level is slowly but surely killing the rest of my teams interest in this game. You cannot get better in a game like this by just dying in 10 seconds, this game is insanely punishing on death already and decisions happen so quickly that you don't even know what went wrong till you clip review. We want to get better but this matchmaking is making it impossible.

None of us mind being gold to plat and having to fight a diamond once in a while. But my friends got wiped 5 times yesterday with an avg skill of silver, against an avg skill of diamond 1. You wouldn't put a 1200 against a 2000 in chess. You wouldn't match a Global elite against a gold in CS. Why was this not thought about? Why did noone see this as a potential issue?

This is driving people away that have spend 600+ hrs, basically the retention goldmines. This game is a nice looking alpha at best. 5 years of development and this is what they managed. Not even an MMR system in place.

But ey season 3 will save it huh.

Hello everyone (this is a bit of long post),

I recently received an offer for an L1 Junior Dev Analyst role, and I’m really excited about the opportunity. However, as I've been doing more research on this sub and other forums, I can't help but maybe notice some common feedbacks regarding the software engineering practices at the firm.

From what I’m reading, the complaints aren't really about the developers themselves. Instead, it seems like Team Leads and Managers are under such immense pressure from strict time and budget constraints that there is little to no time to implement good architectural design.

A lot of the stories suggest that instead of building clean, scalable solutions, products are often rushed out as monolithic architectures. So even if a developer want to put their skills into practice and deliver high-quality code, they can't because the timeline is the biggest enemy.

I’m hoping I might just have tunnel vision from reading too many negative threads. I really value solid system design and want to work in an environment where building robust backend systems and clean APIs is respected.

For my fellow programmers and developers here:

• Do you share this sentiment about the engineering culture?
• Or, on the contrary, are there teams/projects where you’ve had a genuinely good software building experience?
• Is it possible to find a working environment within the firm that actually encourages developers to deliver high-quality software without constantly sacrificing architecture for deadlines?

Any insight into the reality of the day-to-day coding environment would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

For anyone who has done a 45-minute CoderPad pair programming interview: did you have to manage a multi-file project, or was everything done in a single file (just stacking all the classes and interfaces together)?

I have a CoderPad technical interview coming up soon. While familiarizing myself with the UI, I noticed there are two boilerplate options the interviewer can choose from, so I'm just wondering what to expect.

Any insight helps thank you! 😌
