In the latest update, the game Deadlock has made significant adjustments by rearranging every player into new ranked leagues. Many gamers, however, are concerned that this revamp won’t enhance their overall experience. Isn’t it disheartening? They wonder if the matchmaking process will remain as frustrating as it was before.

Developer Yoshi communicated via Discord that the changes were made to rectify issues in the system, aiming to ensure a more equitable ranking process for all participants. Despite these assurances, the community is rife with skepticism, expressing that if they were unhappy previously, they’ll likely remain so now.

For instance, a Reddit user described their leap in rank from Emissary 4 to Phantom 4, expressing anxiety about what lies ahead in games. Another felt similarly bumped from the Archon 1 to Ascendant 1, questioning their capability to survive in higher tiers.

The patch summary notes that improvements are centered around the ranked badge system rather than the matchmaker, leading to a mix of confusion and anticipation among players.

“If you were miserable before, you’ll still be miserable now.” – A Reddit user’s comment that captures the sentiment of many.

This overhaul has sparked discussions from enthusiastic hopes to worries over competitive gameplay dynamics.
