    Hey, I'm one of the people that queued you 5 times, and I'm a low star/low kd player. I don't think the skill based matchmaking had much to do with it, just the shortage of players, and us dying at similar times in our games.

      @Forums_  8 місяців тому +2

      yeah most likely just coincidences when it comes to stuff like that, although that felt like the thing to drive my point home, I feel like it only got to that point because of players realizing sbmm then quitting the game, until you just get the same people, so although if you're a highs star you will queue low stars, it also just more common to queue high stars

    I just somehow happened to return to skywars today, and i totally agree. I played during peak US times and the queues were insanely stacked with high stars.
    Most games had atleast 3 players above 25 stars. It's really difficult to play like this if you're not one of the top players, and starbased matchmaking should definitely be removed.

    I will say this is somewhat accurate, I was playing skywars a little while ago and in everyone of my games I saw the same 5 sweaty people, they kept completely destroying everyone else just leaving most if not all of them as the last fighters, and a similar instance happened when I was playing teams and I was only able to win when I got on the same team as one of the 3 guys who where basically soloing the entire lobby, idk if this is because of skill based matchmaking or if it's just how few people play it anymore, but it's still really sad to see the state the game is in.

    I’m somewhat new to Skywars (8 stars), and I end up queueing 3-4 blatant B-hoppers per game since most cheaters are also low-star. I have also noticed that the skill-based matchmaking isn’t always totally accurate and I end up getting thrown in with lobbies full of high-star players, for example a few days ago I queued IroTheCookieLord along with multiple other high-star players in the same game (and the next few games after).

    What would happen if the non queues played against the leaderboard players? I feel like it would be extremely unfair and unfun for them and might kill off a large portion of the active player count that's already tiny. Instead hypixel should focus on adding an event such as the slumber hotel into skywars to add something new to go for with the rewards being enticing enough to want to play. Just a thought I'm not completly opposed to your idea because I'm not in the bad queues but Hypixel for sure has to do something. Love your content hope you keep posting! Here's a few vid ideas btw; winning with every kit (series or in 1 vid), revisiting old challenges (youtube and hypixel), getting the cactus kill achievement (if you don't already have it), trapping (if your up to it haha).

      from what I've heard and seen in non queues, it's infested with cheaters since most cheaters buy accounts that have never played skywars, and the players in the non queues don't know how to counter them. imo if I was a new player I would to just fight a good player, because if I was constantly bhopped on I would just assume the server doesn't have a good anticheat and stop playing

    Game is just too sweaty so there is literally no casual/ new player base. Compared to bedwars where theyre more likely to enjoy modes like 4v4, in sw they probably wouldn't get anymore than like 5 kills after an hour of playing leading to them just quitting and never touching that mode again.

  • @razvan_anton06
    @razvan_anton06 8 місяців тому +1

    Great video, I understand your take but I don't agree. Let's take bedwars for instance: I used to play minecraft regularly, until my account was stolen and I took a long break from it, while there were still many players on Hypixel. I was prevously winning most of my games, as I was gold prestige and also had pretty good friends. Now I purchased the game again, due to nostalgia. I may not be as good as I was a year ago, but every game I face someone with 20k beds or 40k finals. It's impossible to win against them, even with my friend in duos. We uses to get small winstreaks in duos, and now we struggle to even win a singular game in an hour of playtime. In skywars, we can still win some of our games. And we still face sometimes people with over 50 stars(even over 20, which is still a lot for me). But we still win some games. And removing skill based mathmaking would ruin the experience. I would hate and probably even quit skywars if every game someone with 60 stars would win every time.

    • @Forums_
      @Forums_  8 місяців тому

      In Bedwars, although they also have a matchmaking system, it's not skill based, the 1-5 stars in bedwars queue each other then once you get past that you get into the regular queues. Skywars used to be that way too where 1-3 or 5 stars queued each other until they got past that, but they changed it to a more skill based one a year or two ago, if Skywars remove SBMM there would be less sweats per game since the number of players in the player pool would on paper double, but they prob won't remove SBMM so can't find out if that's right or not, I get where you're coming from though.

    I don't think skill based matchmaking is the problem. I'm somewhat low star and i still queue a lot of 40-70 star players. I think all of the low star players are quitting due to how sweaty it is which makes it even worse since a lot of high stars won't quit. This kind of leads to every game having at least 3 25 star+ players. This probably only causes more low stars to quit. It doesn't matter how much you like a game if you cant play due to way too many sweats. I feel like the only thing that would fix this is a skywars update. That would probably add a lot of new players, fixing the problem of 2-5 sweats per game.

  • @Andreyous
    @Andreyous 8 місяців тому +4

    no hate, but i dont think removing skill based matchmaking would do much to solve the problem. the main reason why the game died was because it wasnt getting any updates and the people who used to play have grown up/moved to other games. furthermore, there is no influx of players since all the people being introduced to minecraft for the first time are likely playing on newer versions in survival.

It's crazy people are forgetting that back when they added this feature, a solid majority of the community was literally BEGGING for it for the opposite reasons, people were saying we were killing the game because all the sweats would just destroy the queues for newer players not giving them a chance to succeed. Fuck people were even making videos on why they should add it. Fast forward 3 years and now ya'll wanna backtrack? Lol. This isn't what killed the game, and removing it isn't gonna fix the game. The game is dead because people move on and grow up, and not to mention 2021-2022 was literally the ending of COVID. It's sad to see yeah, but it's just the truth. The game was being killed from mistakes made way back in 2017-2018 that lead to worse shit and was made no better by the dogshit community, the recent decline is definitely not because of matchmaking lmfaooo

I feel like its abundantly clear at this point after almost 10 years of this games existence that there truly is no saving it regardless of what's added or removed. **THERE IS ALSO NO MAKING THE GAME CASUAL AGAIN.** People need to get that one through their heads, matchmaking isn't why the game ain't casual, the game isn't casual because PVP has progressed as a whole, and most people are aware of fundamental tactics. I seriously don't get why people are so hung up on the idea that there's ever a way to make the game less sweaty. This is just what PVP is now and has been.

      While skyblock receives more updates, but it's just because it's a lot more profitable and more important than pretty much all other modes on Hypixel. The quality of these updates is a huge problem, major updates get released extremely buggy, unfinished, unbalanced and some small, frequently requested QoL features get added randomly after months if not years.
      When i see some of the most obvious bugs happening i guess they either have no QAs at all or their work process management is so shit that i can't imagine...
