This is a rant. The game drives me nuts. Every time I win some games against ppl I then get matched against ppl 400mmr above me and they destroy me.

Better yet, sometimes I check their profile and see the race they played is near my mmr, but their other race is sometimes up to 600-700 mmr higher.

Im really struggling to get out of plat 3 and this keeps happening. Then i get matched again and again against way higher opponents and drop all the 200 mmr i worked for so hard only to start from scratch again.

Its driving me nuts. I hate this. To make matters worse, freaking leavers sometimes inflate my mmr too, sometines 3-4 times in a row. Leavers with higher mmr. What does that eventually get me? High mmr players that blast me back down.

Then I get matched against players that are noticeably worse than me, way below mmr. Thanks to my losing streak. So I get to play several games against opponents that pose little challange.

Wich results in me no getting any practice against ppl on my level. Fair games. Most importantly - FUN. Easy wins arent fun. Hard losses arent either.

Im tired of this cycle. Im a noob, but i still want to enjoy games and work myself up.

But its so rare that I get even matches. I cant stop playing either, bcs the good games are so fun. But theres nothing worse then winning a few hard fought, fair games, on my mmr, only to play against someone thats 500mmr higher. Im hardstuck at 2.7k. Work up to 2.8 or 2.9 and then get blasted by 3.2 or even 3.4

I just had to get this off my chest so I can play another game. Thanks

Do they exist? Is the new homm golden era like that? I played songs of conquest but while the game is good its not story heavy. I feel kinda like I want to lose myself in a strategy game that has some feel of interaction to it. Something to fill the void besides endless rounds of sc2. Civ feels lifeless, for example, always the same dialogue bare bones.

Maybe that kind of stuff doesnt even exist idk.

Thanks upfront for your imput,
