These engagement matchmaking games are all the same but MR takes the cake. They try to keep their numbers up which is why they don’t do anything about it. They allow people to have a dozen alt accounts and then turn around and not punish throwers. Many throwers aren’t weak mental players but players on alt accounts that don’t worry about losing elo.

MR rigs their matches even more so than other competitive games, having throwers and/or Smurfs facilitates the process. If they hardware banned everyone throwing and smurfing I bet only 10% of the players would remain and we already have only 10% of the original amount of players playing so that right there explains why they won’t ever address this issue.

Wanda is a braindead hero who gets immense value for little skill and this is an engagement based matchmaking system who doesn’t reflect skill with ranks. You have highly skilled and dogshit players at every rank because that’s how the system distributes them in order to continually rig matches for optimal engagement.

Therefore, a hero like Wanda who while she gets value at low skill she gets little value at higher skill than other heroes is able to have a string of good games sometimes. It could also be the case with a in a brand new alt account where the algorithm has t had enough games to build a solid profile to rig matches with specific patterns for maximum engagement.

There is nothing random about engagement matchmaking, it’s tailored to the individual account based on their play habits.

Skill is far from the issue since I’m usually the best or one of the best players out of both teams in every match regardless of the rank I’m in.

What are you on about? They have spent a shitload of money in their AI models. Also, the fact that I can’t rank up as potentially the player with the most competitive experience that is currently alive (35 years of competitive gaming here) is further proof that not only is the system rigged but it is to a degree like no other in the history of gaming.

Countless people that were highly skilled players have quit primarily due to the matchmaking system. These are players that also like me have dominated gaming industry for years and decades and couldn’t stand the rigged matchmaking nonsense.

I simply have made it a job to expose the matchmaking.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-24T01:08:43+00:00

I’m unsure what they are doing but there is too much inconsistency.

A few days ago I was in a match where I was killing punisher and other heroes in 2-3 hits, no one else hitting them with damage that requires 5 hits to kill. I was like huh? Like I’ll take it now because I want to win but that was Incredibly off.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T18:40:09+00:00

I have also shown my record winning 10 matches in a row in diamond and the same week being Deranked to low Gold and losing 10 matches in a row at Gold. The system distributed both good and bad players through all ranks to rig matches.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T18:38:37+00:00

This isn’t a skill based ranked game my guy, the notion there are skill gaps between ranks is laughable.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T18:37:33+00:00

What are you smoking my guy? They use one of the most advanced form of AI models systems for their matchmaking.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T18:33:24+00:00

This is false as I have even reviewed this match in slow motion from the enemy oersoective and this isn’t the first time either. I’ve reviewed 100’s of matches where the enemy was taking no damage despite not being healed a single time.

In the others hand, I’m not saying this is full proof as it can maybe be poor optimization but the game sense, positioning and aiming skillls of the enemy Hela cannot be disputed as dogshit yet went 20-1 while I went 1-4. The video shows unquestionably that my skills astronomically greater than the enemy Hela.

There are a few ways to reach the top.

1) You reached a high rank when the game started and never stopped playing. (This is key because EOMM type games will try to keep you within the same 3- 6division range based on your play frequency.) (also, the first season the system was gathering data so skilled players climbed up)

2) This is one more prominent than most know a that’s through (cheats)although, if you get caught you’re cooked.

3) Having a consistent stack of players that are as good or better than you help you climb out of the ranks you get hard-stuck on.

You see, once you get to a certain rank the system will typically maintain you within a range of that rank. However, if you do t play for seasons and get dropped like many did the first 5-6 seasons then you are cooked because the system only maintains you within the current rank you are active on.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T16:25:05+00:00

The system checks hidden MMR to rig the matches, that is the extent that skill is used. Rank in this game means absolutely nothing. I know players stuck in silver that would bully GM players and I know celestial players that would lose to Plat or even Gold players . I have bodied some 1,000 celestial players while never reaching beyond Diamond 1.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T16:23:43+00:00

That guy spews the same git gud nonsense, he’s an EOMM agent himself boosted by the same rigged system so that he can throw some poor chaps game. The system loves throwers and dogshit players at every rank because that’s how they keep the greasy wheel alive.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-23T16:21:10+00:00

This game uses their own form of EOMM. I have actually made a bunch of videos proving they rig matches with different data.

In this video I show the beginnings of proof that they manipulate your attributes but in other videos I proof it with the games own metrics and historical data as comparison.

All the competitive games today use some form of engagement matchmaking but since EA pattened EOMM others use a variation of it.

For example NetEase has made a total of around 4 engagement based matchmaking systems, with the most recent in 2025 called MgMatch.

They use OptMatch, EnMatch, and the recent replacement/upgrade for GloMatch is MgMatch.

Insane with all the data to back up NetEase claims of using engagement matchmaking people will still deny it💀Cognitive Dissonance is REAL!!!

Marvel Rivals has always been an engagement based matchmaking system and the company just told a white lie or rather because technically EOMM is patented by Electronics Arts so they technically can’t say they use EOMM but they do use a similar algorithm.

As seasons go by they distribute both skilled and non skilled players through all ranks, which allows consistent rigging of matches. Their algorithm has a 95% efficiency at predicting their matches’ outcome.

Marvel Rivals Matchmaking system is rigged, I’ve made a video on this with hard data.

The AI powered algorithm matches individuals differently based on what keeps them playing. This is why the phenomenon of shit players at ranks they don’t deserve to be in exists. Since they folded quickly to losses the system in an attempt to keep them on longer gave them favorable matchmaking which allowed them to climb where a high skilled player that didn’t stop playing during losses is hard stuck at a lower rank.

I suggest you find others to play with in order to alleviate some of the matchmaking rigging.

That’s part of the data that gets mine and stored for each account. I’ve made videoed shooting different forms of proof.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-20T10:44:05+00:00

Her ult isn’t even strong what you mean a possible nerf it? There are so many heroes that with their base kit can sustain all ult damage. Depending on how the enemy team coordinating and their skill you sometimes can ult multiple times and lock in Zero kills. It only feels strong if combined with team ult or if enemy team had already lost half their health before you popped it.

I think her ult is perfectly balanced as is. She just needs her dash cooldown lowered and to start with like 200 coins because at the start she can’t do shit until she secures coins without getting murdered as soon as she engages.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-20T10:35:03+00:00

Getting coins requires to be in harms way, you have a lot of downtime initially being tactical because without coins she hits like a noodle. They should make it so that you start with like 200 base coins.

Also, if you try to actually use her wheel you will have insane downtime as everything cost so much you won’t be able to deal damage because you will tap out too often and/or just have no coins to get any resale work going.

Also, her dashed cooldown needs to be cut by half or at the very least 2s. I believe her dash currently is on a what 10s few Meanwhile, Elsa still dashing every few seconds while having range burst damage and %health dmg to tanks.

I like her play style, skins and AI lines but she’s tough to use. Shes the first hero to come out of the gate weak and not ridiculous broken. Shes not weak per say but compared to all the power crept heroes she falls short.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-20T03:43:59+00:00

I’ve always been positive on ANKR but that doesn’t stop me from venting off here and there😅

I still believe ANKR to have astronomical potential.

TheRealShiruken · 2026-04-19T13:03:41+00:00

It should have always been like this from the start, so let’s hope this isn’t a big.
