How the heck it works?
Today 5/7 enrollments end up with no battle for me. Yesterday same, less than 50% battles started.
My ELO is usually highest among people playing duels. Should I lose on purpose to lower my rank or what? It will led to nowhere in long term anyway. This is so ridicules and irritating. I just keep wasting time when preparing and waiting in line later. |
I don’t think it’s about Elo
What is the average number of people in 1v1 challenge usually?
I think they also do not pair you with same opponents more than twice in a day I think |
Yes, twice a day is the limit but this is not the case in the morning for sure.
Among CL24, usually there are up to 10 people enrolled. Sometimes 4, very rare more than 12.
When the number of enrolled people is odd, than chance the battle will not start for me is super high and based on this I think it has something to do with ELO.
For last 12 moths I made 3k+ duel, so I am pretty confident how paring mechanism works. |
I’m experiencing the same issue. On a regular basis, the system can't find me a duel opponent, even though there are often more than 20 (!) players in the queue. I've also noticed that I frequently face the same opponents and rarely encounter new ones, so I assume it's based on ELO since all my duel opponents have high ELO ratings. I never face anyone below 1000 (except when I find my elo to be below 1000), which might explain why there are times, up to 2-5 times a day, when no opponent is found.
I also play up to 600 duels per month, so given the number of duelists, I shouldn’t be missing out on fights daily. I average around 20 duels a day, and between 8 AM and midnight, there are typically around 18 players in the queue, with peak times even reaching 28. The system seems to be functioning quite strangely and is 100% certain based on Elo. |
3/5 more times no duel for me since I wrote my post #1.
Each time people were waiting in line.
Current balance since the morning 8/12 failed to have battle.
Imagine how annoying it is to waste time. |
| for 2v2 too, the pairings are now based on elo. the opponents are paired such that the average elo of both the teams are the same. I was paired with bots in 2v2 during the peak hours |
I get how frustrating this is (though not from personal experience), and am not suggesting that this is right. That being said one should also evaluate it from the perspective of those who are less frequent duelists, or less competent.
If some rating is not imposed then I can imagine a situation where they regularly face people who they lose to all the time, which is also frustrating, and results in them being less inclined to duel again etc.
Of course the restrictions on multiple times a day matters and limits this, and build comparison probably matters more than ELO in duels anyway.
Perhaps like they have a tick box for join group if not matched, you could also have a joint irrespective of ELO and with potion of guilds? |
| 10/17 without a battle now. |
I'm always getting matches, maybe because there's just a lot more players at CL18?
I have noticed though that I'm getting paired with the same subset of people. In particular, I haven't played a single person above 1350 ELO, and I used to encounter those monsters a lot when I was dueling a year ago? |

Agreed but then they should at bots in duels to fill the gaps. And cause it would be easier in a 1 vs 1 vs AI, I would even suggest they make these armies likes 25% bigger. Atleast you have some enemy and get points. |
for Arcanide:
That would work.
Either you join a group battle if no match up, or join versus a bot. Not facing someone is then not possible if you join and no waiting for anyone. |
Please no bots in Duels.
At this point, just remove the guild points and stats associated with CG, let there be one guild for real players only...
I fail to see the point of a guild that you can do 1 fight every half an hour, and it is mirror vs mirror or mirror vs bot. All to farm some points. |
I'll take that back.
Just give me an option to never match against either mirror or bots, and I'll be okay with that. |
| I’d like the option to only play against bots. Thanks in advance |

Group battle is not an alternative when you are prepared for mirror duel. Most build in auto duels will not work in 2x2. |

I fail to see the difference here. All guilds are simply designed to farm points. CG was never intended to be exclusive to the elite, which is why they introduced mirrors and days to give participants a boost. CG has never been more popular. But I can see why you’d enjoy CG, where as a stat beast, you can farm points from those who try a few times with 10 fewer stats. Feels good, right? Bragging about beating newer players with 10+ stats. Pretty sad, buddy.
The mirror system gave everyone a chance to earn points and improve. With mirrors, having +5 stats doesn't matter as much since the AI can still switch things up and give you the win.
Your statement, sir, reflects what's wrong with those in power worldwide: "I don’t want minorities to have better chances; I’d rather crush them with superior stats and boast about it". |

I'll gladly have all stat points removed from the game and every game be balanced, if that's an option.
CG is the best part of the game for me, I don't care for the grind.
I was playing group battles and EOFO, before I ever knew about CG. If they had balance now and didn't come with needless exp penalty, I'd play them too. |

I guess you can still play pvp and ignore whether you get or not CG points.
The probability of receiving a bot at your CL is pretty small compared to my case. There are 3072 people at CL18 and only 61 at CL24 (50 times less).
In terms of time which I invest I can't afford to skip 50%+ battle daily. Today is not bad for me, I think I was not paired only once, but last 3 days were terrible.
Let others grind! :) |
