What matchmaking algorithm do you use?

  1. I mean you have a statistics guy on the team, afaik. It's very rare that I play trully balanced matches some days (other days it's 50/50). But seriously? How do you match players together? Is it at random?

    Do you keep statistics on us? I mean how does a tactical with over 75% assasination rate match vs over guys for example?

    I didn't have a match the entire night where we started at equal numbers. I played like 4-6 hours.

    The strange thing is that sometimes it gives us completely unbalanced matches and sometimes they are absolutely even. But I guess that has something to do with the number of players in a queue at the same time.
  4. Probably jus' throws a game out if'n thar be jus' enough playa's ta' meet sum sorta minimum on each side afta' an amount o' toim
  5. More then 50% of the Playerbase are LSM iirc.

    Means, either they wait for quite a long time, or they start to allow unbalanced matches to happen, like we have now.
    I see their intention, instead of making people wait, they allow them to play the game, at the cost of the other factions. With their advancement systems, switching from one Character (LSM) to another (whatever) isn't easy, as you want to progress your dude of course.

    Bad tounges would say, if 50% of the Playerbase are LSM, let em have the most fun in the game and allow such things.

    And what will this do? Even less players on other factions. Weehee...

    Offer a XP Transfer to another character of your choice. Say, you are level 5 on your LSM that you can't find any games at the moment? Transfer it to an Ork/Eldar/Chaos and get your Requisition on the boxes you spent also refunded and available for you, just to balance matchmaking a little.
    Wouldn't solve the problem, but distress it a little i guess.

    Also, if games are unbalanced as it is right now, allow more veteran classes for the Faction on the smaller end of the stick? Veterans don't have much impact, but that would incentive people to stay in that game until reinforcements arrive or help at least a little.

    What about extra XP for the Faction with less players, like Planetside 2 did it (iirc?)

    Whatever, please do something!
    Because what we have right now is just a sad story.
    Allready beforehand the game was unbalanced, and now you literally have taken it to the next level.
    Good job

    I think game uses dice (luck) to see what are you playing against on what map keep in mind tho that over 50% are SM, so that is like you have 3+1 (+1 is your race that you play) sides of dice colored in SM colors

    We already have long waiting times for matches. But I completely agree on a bonus for the faction with lower population.
