Anyone know how to do this because at the moment I'm either wasting time playing newbies or spending 20 minutes Looking for a match because anyone with even a semi decent record hits the Dodge button 99% of the time because my record indicates I might actually not be an easy win.
I actually made a similar thread about this, though it was merged into the MKX Complaint Thread;

Why does PLAYER MATCH, an unranked matchmaking system in which you can rematch the same noob over and over again, have a leaderboard? We may never know.
Obviously since multiple people are encountering the same problem and are making threads about it, it's a pretty big issue right now. It was bad before when I made that thread, but since then my record has gotten better (unfortunately) and now I'm having even more trouble finding matches.
Yes, I can find good players here, and I intended to use sources other than matchmaking like with every other fighting game I play, but why do I have to be robbed of the convenience of using the in-game matchmaking function to play a few quick matches?
My main game is UMvC3, and I spent tons of hours online with it. When you searched for a Player Match, all you got was a name and the connection. No unnecessary win/loss record, and no IDIOTIC "win percent" (this is probably the worst thing I've ever seen in a fighting game). The only time people declined me were when they've played me before. Even if people knew who I was, nobody was really afraid of losing because there wasn't a win/loss record at all. If I ran into a scrub, I'll play one to three matches and then leave. If it's extremely laggy, I'll leave after the first match. If I run into a good player, we'll run a set for as long as we can. It's so simple and perfect. But NRS tries to over-complicate what should be a simple feature and FUCKS IT.
I see people with the solution of "just play ranked". which isn't a solution at all. I can't stand playing a first to 1, and then having to invite someone to a match if you want to get more games in. I don't like the idea of spending just as much time in the menus as playing the game, and I definitely don't want to try-hard every match and would like to experiment with new characters without having to worry about a win/loss record.
To be honest, I don't really care that the game doesn't have a good ranking system. I'm fine with getting matched with scrubs 80% of the time because I can just leave after the first match and search again. I just want to fucking PLAY THE GAME. I shouldn't be punished because I'm winning too much.
Yeah, I'm totally ranting about this, but how can we make NRS fix this stupid shit? The obvious solution is for them to completely remove the incredibly unnecessary Player Match leaderboard, and not show win/loss records in player matches/rooms. The problem is they need to know that this is a huge problem. Any NRS representatives on TYM?
