How can a player competing against the very best players in the world receive the lowest rank in League Play?! Once I got placed, the difficulty of matches varied drastically. The first game in my respective ladder was a whitewash on Hardpoint while the next match was a hard-fought defeat in a close Control match. Competitive Call of Duty pioneer and Treyarch Multiplayer Designer David Vonderhaar took to Twitter, explaining that there could be issues influencing matchmaking.
He went on to say that he may reveal some of the factors that determine the skill level of players and how matchmaking works but opted to hold back in case even more criticism was hurled in his direction.
