Who hates the same match multiple times in a row?

[udacian]

I am not sure if someone ever suggested this, but I really do not like having the same match up twice - sometimes even 3 times - in a row.

Whether I lose or win in a first game, I am not excited if I face the same opponent again.
Especially if you lose, you really want to avoid the same opponent for a while.
QM is not tournament where you expect to play against the same opponent again.

The reason it happens so often seems obvious. They both finish at the same time, so the algorithm is likely to match them again.
It should be easy to fix it.
Of course, avoid the same match up would cause the side effects.
Either you have fewer match against close rating, or you wait longer.
But I would prefer that.

I would like to know what everyone feels about this.

I hate it. It also illustrates how huge a factor luck is in the game. One game you get perfect draw and steamroll the other guy. The next, you draw absolutely nothing useful and just sit there helplessly as you get owned.

Look on the bright side. Less surprises the next time as you already at least partially reverse engineered their Deck.

Sit back and stretch before hitting quick match again. Hopefully your previous opponent will have gotten matched up with someone different. That doesn't work, take a longer break so you know you'll get someone else.

You still get the same opponent, then there are very few people near your rating, and you may want to double check that you are playing the most up to date version.

Some time, u lost to someone due to bad luck or wrong decision at critical time. U know u can beat him on a rematch.
So, have faith in ur deck. If not, edit/change it to another deck before hit QM button again.

I don't mind it. If I lose first then win or whichever I'm ok with it. If I losee 3 times in a row then I loom at what I did wrong

[Airact]

I have never really minded it.


Then again I'm used to grinding the same matchups for hours at a time in Magic so I guess that's a thing.

Thanks for the feedback, everybody.

So I guess the best solution would be wait a couple of minutes after the game.
Maybe I focus too much on game that I usually do not wait for the next game unless I want to tweak the deck or review the previous game.

yup that right! better wait a few minutes before playing in QM again. i hope he didnt wait the same time as you :P

[udacian]

i hope he didnt wait the same time as you :P

Yeah that would be funny.

I forgot to mention one thing.

If you have the same match up again, there is a chance that you go first/second again.
It would be great if at least turn is changed just like tournament.
