How matchmaking works:
Matchmaking is based on Rating Points and team strength.
The game tries to find an opponent with similar parameters, but if the search takes too long, the range expands.
If there aren’t enough players in your region, you may be matched with opponents of higher rating.
What affects matchmaking:
Server region — the closest available players.
Time of day — more players are usually online during the day, fewer at night.
Player rating — the higher your rating, the fewer opponents of similar level are available.
What you can do:
Try playing at a different time of day.
Temporarily lower your rating to get matched with weaker opponents.
Use a squad with a lower Overall rating to reduce team strength.
Currently, there’s no option to manually set the matchmaking range.
❗ If matchmaking feels unfair and makes the game uncomfortable, 👉submit a complaint on Xolvie👈.
This will help draw attention to the issue and gather feedback from other players!
