So, you decided this coming IB is going to be Rift. Now any other time, I'd be fine with it. It's something different from control and clash, helps spice things up. Cool. However, you guys have allowed Rift to be IB before. It didn't go well, it's very obvious that quite a few people didn't approve of that decision. Now I'm sure you guys have data from that IB that was Rift the first time. I'm sure you saw from the data that there were [b][i][u]ALOT[/u][/i][/b] of blow outs. This is the part that confuses the hell out of me. Your ideology of matchmaking in general is to make sure that skill is a pretty large factor when creating a lobby. You want to make sure that blowouts aren't happening often because, let's be real, no one enjoys that obnoxiously. So when you put those two things together you get a game type that often results in blow outs but a matchmaking system that is implemented to reduce blow outs. How can you make Rift an acceptable IB variant if your matchmaking, that has been getting hell for months, goes completely against what Rift causes ? Look, I get it, there's a part of the playerbase (I'm assuming it's a small part) that does actually enjoy Rift. Hey, I do too sometimes, it can be enjoyable. But if that small portion of the playerbase is being catered to, then why is the small portion of skilled player's not being supported. How can you support one thing but not the other when it is actually possible to support both ? I just can't wrap my head around this decision and how these two things clash with each other. I mean hell, why not allow Mayhem as a variant instead ? I'm sure that will receive much more praise. Why would you do things to piss your playerbase off unless you're legitimately doing it on purpose to pull our strings ? If anyone can fill me in on how this makes any sense what so ever, I'm down to try and listen so I can understand this craziness.
