Patch Notes 12/02/2026

[SuperStar]

I played many solo event sc with dps. I had almost always insta pop all the time all weekend eu time. (Fri 2pm to 12pm, sat san 8am to 12pm) i went lock siege rvr too)

I have to tell you iam an old human, i oayed a lot of different game over the decades but i think/feel this matchmaking is the best.

Its always feel fair. Its always balanced based on classes.

We/i losed some but it was our/my fault.
We always had a chance to kill.
Of cource sometimes someone afk or leave or assist cannot happen. But everytime i felt we had chance. It was fantastic. Also this 6v6 format it was like the solo ranked. Very funny with punting, ranged had chance too. (Sometimes i disn die after they punted me, usually i did idk whats coz the difference.

Best weekend event sc with this matchmaking.

Thank you!

Literally no pop as a 6 man in t4.
Queueing several hours...

Nice way to drive even more players away...

Here is my feedback
Ive played only healer on t4 destro side. This weekend played exclusively EC like 70 or so times. Normally i hate that map cos old system was facing premades vs randomly selected archetypes. This time was different.

The good:
New matchmaking system do wonders when solo queu. Matches were mostly equal there were quite good fights. Most setups were 1/3/2 witch prevented stalemates. When the system put 2/2/2 games were much slower but still good quality.
Wait time for solo healer was quite low so no problem here. Although i chain queuing i rarely got same 5 man from last game, one-two sometimes but never same guys which imo is a good feature.

The bad:
Sometimes the system started matches with uneven numbers like 4v5 which on 6v6 map is quite harsh, esp when ppl go tru the portal and didnt wait for fill up and scen ended poorly.
When you end as a fill up at the heavily one sided game wasnt good feeling no matter which side.
About the 7v6 comeback mechanic i dont know what to think. It was abit bizarre to have one guy out of the group but once he really did the difference and we won but it felt abit unfair. The fight wasnt so one sided prior to his entrance.

The ugly:
Didnt try to queu as premade but ive heard no games were starting so all lf healer/tank/dps spam at /5 channel was gone. That imo is bad cos these random scen groups do great for socialising like minded ppl, many friendships and guilds started like that so punishing premades is no good

Lastly i will comment the EC map itself, imo there are several problems with the map.

Starting points for the both realms are quite unfair. No idea why destro start from middle but orders on right side. That give unfair advantage to destro from the start. Destro should start from left, orders from right both move and fight at middle like it was on live. Why that it is changed here is beyond me.

Punter and punted swap place mechanic is quite weird many ppl didnt know about it and were quite confusing. Imo that serves noone good and should be altered or removed. We had a situation were our tanks punted enemy tand and dps at same time and got place swapped and died. That was totally random and uncalled. Somehow swap chance looked quite high

At EC we got 3 portals that are usable mid fight and if u just want to leave while being killed you can just go to the portal and press yes to get teleported out. It felt as dirty move that could be exploit by ppl that are too scary to die

That's it
For solo new matchmaking is quite good but for the expense of premades which will be damaging the player base by long run

Is it possible just not enough premade with the same setup on both side?

Because in the past i didnt saw too many groupranked either.

Maybe there should be dedicated premade group(6) vs premade group(6) mode and we can see how many premade praty actually.
