PvP Ranking Matchmaking

[Miyamotokenshin]

So, the new PvP Coin system is out, but the matchmaking is still something i am concerned about a fair bit at the moment.

 

Before the PvP Ranked reset, the last battles i had were against people with 150-200+ points more rating than i had myself at the time.

 

I start this topic to voice exactly that concern, whether it's me or someone else. Maybe we can gather data/screenshots here in relation to being matched against someone way higher in PvP Ranking. I really feel this is something that could and should be done, so that PvP may improve even further. :Angel:

First of all i have to say i like your idea. Better matchmaking would be great.

 

1. If u are placed at top of the ladder and face a 0 point-player, its most likely a stomp and u get 3 points or u lose this one time and lose like 30-40 points.

 

2. If u are a 0 points-player and u face someone who is much higher in ranking than u, it doesnt feel good to get stomped most of the time. If u win tho it feels great and u get honored with a bunch of points.

 

Atm it is in general not risky at all if u low ladder, u have nth to lose and if u win u might get 40 points.

 

So if here would be better matchmaking u would always have interesting matches. Top ladder vs top ladder, mid ladder vs mid ladder, low ladder vs low ladder. I mean its literally like in other games where matchmaking is needed. Cause everyone love intense, exciting matches, not stomps.

Before the PvP Ranked reset, the last battles i had were against people with 150-200+ points more rating than i had myself at the time.

 

And its not a rare case that u face a 500 points player in one game and in the game after someone with 1 point.^^ So i dont really think screenshots arent needed, thats how it is, and im sure staff knows that.

 

BUT, and thats a big "but".....u have a max of 1800 players online. Someone suggested different tiers in PRO recently, someone else suggested another queue for unranked battles just for fun. And a better matchmaking is a similar case. But still the same queue at least.

 

If u make matchmaking a thing it can take much longer to find a battle, especially for high ranked players, if u have to wait for example for one of the possible other 20 players which are even in your range to battle cause of the matchmaking. I dont know the numbers, just staff knows, maybe its still possible and enough ppl are searching for a pvp-battle at one time that matchmaking could be better.

U could also add a cap of 5mins and after 5mins of searching u get the next battler which is up for a fight, no matter what rank he has. This might be possible, the question is if most guys of the community like to click the button every 15 secs for 5mins to finally find a match. (u could delete the timer again but i feel it was added for some reasons regarding server crashes)

 

Well that cap of 1,8k ppl max is the only thing what might kill your idea, since thats a thing u cant change. Other than that, if the numbers are solid enough (just staff knows), yeah i would appreciate to have a better matchmaking. :)

 

Maybe someone else has a better idea tho, still good u bring that matchmaking-thingy up. :P
