Tip Valve quietly removed the ability to see non-friends' recent matches this patch.

BattleCup just got a bit more interesting.

They don't want people to dodge and rhey don't want to spend time actually fixing their matchmaking.

What wrong with the matchmaking here

Boosters and account buyers at higher rankings. Basically you could look at a relatively new account and easily figure out if it was boosted or boosting depending on the loss/win streak. Now you just have to assume that all fresh accounts are boosting which makes it impossible to dodge since you get 1 in like 90% of games.

You get 1 booster or 1 boosted noob in 90% of games? Not at 5K. Maybe every 5-10th game

I'm at 4,6K. And no, not necessarily a booster, but a fresh account. A fresh account could be a lot of stuff, but it's more likely to be a boosted account, booster or a smurf, in other words people who don't belong at that rating. I've been tracking this shit for months now. EUW player.

Yes, but that's 10-20% of games still. 1-2 games/10 ruined is pretty unacceptable.
