Matchups Kill my Record

[KodaKumi]

Im a freaking level 3 in Solo because I rarely play Ladder solo. I was playing like custom game with obs and beat level 20 UD. But he was sorta nooby in my opinion and we were in turtle rock so it's very close.

I always get losses against such unfair players though, like HOW can a computer
match Level 3 with a level 23?! I think that something is completely Effed up and it kills my record completely. This is so unfair. My friend and I were playing AT and we were level 1 and personally my friend is a complete noob of a player but we got level 26's?

I really think that B.net should re-think their matchups. It gives you sometimes fair ones but I think even though i've been waiting for matchup for 2 minutes that it should ignore like a 20 level difference.

as opposed to always playing within 6 levels of yourself and getting stuck against smurfs? Either way, you'll get some bad matchups, but mostly accurate ones

1st rule of the amm, levels are meaningless.

[AlexFE]

yeah, those level 26's you were playing aren't good players. They're players a little better than you who have played more games so they have a very high level.

my experience is all people around lvl 20-30 are noobs, the ones you need to be afraid of is actually those around 1 to 15, cause those have a much higher chance to be smurfs, i remember losing to a random lvl 3 account and at the end it turned out to be a gosu (I think it was moon with account calcium).

25= avg level( no matter how much u suck, your going to reach it after a while), so in the beggining thats what the amm will mostly match you with, levels do matter, anyone over 45 is usually good, except the game whores.

[Scapegoat_5]

Ya, as it stands, level means very little. Level is almost solely an indication of how much you play, rather than how well. You very well could have been trounced by a level 2 player, and we'd see you here talking about smurfs instead. There's nothing Blizzard can really do about it. I personally like the new AMM since I actually get to play against players roughly around my skill level.

and you take a loss, big hairy deal. It's a game. Someone's gotta lose.

Level = How many games you've played

[GummyBear]

lvl 45+ = good players. lvl 40 is avg.

Level doesn't mean jack anymore--its all ELL now.
