The developers behind Deadlock have confirmed that a new and revamped MMR system for the game is in the works, and it’s expected to be a significant improvement over the one that’s currently in place.
When talking about the MMR system that Deadlock uses for matchmaking, a dev stated that the current system “doesn’t work very well.” He then confirmed that the team behind the MOBA is already working on a full rewrite of the matchmaking system, which is likely to improve the overall quality of games.
Since the initial announcement of Deadlock on August 23rd, a recurring complaint among the game’s player base has been the unbalanced matchmaking system. Playtesters have reported being matched with players of significantly higher skill levels, which, according to many, has negatively impacted their gameplay experience.
Note that Deadlock is still in its extremely early stages of alpha testing, and problems like this will likely be patched out before the game officially launches.
Deadlock fans are hopeful that the new and updated MMR system being developed by the devs will resolve the game’s ongoing matchmaking issues.
