Marvel Rivals’ ‘Awful’ Matchmaking System is Putting You Against Top-Ranked Players
imMasonxd 
We all love a good Marvel Rivals fight, but what we don’t love is unbalanced matchmaking. Right now, Quickplay feels like the Wild West, and players are not happy about it. 😤
Ranked vs. Quickplay: Two Different Worlds 🌍⚖️
Marvel Rivals has two distinct matchmaking systems: one for Ranked and one for Quickplay.
- Ranked Mode: Uses Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM). This system pairs players with others close to their rank. For example, Bronze players face Silver, Silver faces Gold, and so on. The goal? Fair and competitive matches. 🎯
- Quickplay Mode: Prioritizes speed over balance. It throws players into games as quickly as possible, often leading to huge skill gaps. A rookie might find themselves up against seasoned veterans, and the results can be brutal. 💥
The Quickplay Problem: “Balance Be Damned” 🚨
Quickplay is not Ranked. No matter how much you beg that fourth DPS to swap, you’ll likely get the dreaded response: “QP.” Translation? “Team comp be damned, I guess.” 🤷♂️
What should matter is a balanced matchmaking system. Unfortunately, Marvel Rivals’ Quickplay doesn’t seem to have one. Players are reporting massive skill disparities, leading to one-sided stomps that are anything but fun. 😩
How to Check a Quickplay Player’s Rank 🔍📊
Want to see if matchmaking really hates you? Here’s how to check:
- Click on your profile.
- Go to the HISTORY tab.
- Select the match in question.
- Left-click a username and hit View Career.
You’ll likely see a mix of ranks – or none at all. In theory, Quickplay shouldn’t mix extreme ranks. In reality? It does. 😬
Player Experiences: “It’s Just Stomps” 🎮💔
Players are sharing their frustrating experiences with Quickplay:
- One unlucky player got steamrolled by a full squad of One Above All players (the highest rank). They said, “Needless to say, we didn’t get a single kill. We had just come out of a three-game win streak, so maybe the game was setting us up to lose? I just don’t get how that’s supposed to be fun.” 😤
- Another player summed it up: “This season, quickplay games aren’t even competitive. It’s just stomps one way or the other. Having this system in place is just awful.” 💥
Will Devs Fix Quickplay Matchmaking? 🛠️🤔
Marvel Rivals is still evolving, and the developers have shown they’re willing to make changes (like the recent rank reset). Could a fix for Quickplay matchmaking be next? Maybe. 🤞
But for now, brace yourself whenever you hit Quickplay. You might be in for a rough ride. 🎢
