Thanks! I thought about that yesterday, forgot lol, now you helped me: ranked balanced matches.
Well… ranking is overall bad.
Everyone progress in the rank, what makes them spend money, this is a business trick that catches your money on the very begging when you start playing and still have hopes of becoming a legendary warrior 😁, but this doesn’t mean they play well…
Ranking should be based on your last 3 matches alone, because you may not be playing well, not aiming fast enough, not hitting that many shots, so your threat level shall be lowered to not bother who has played well recently.
But not only that. When it is about equipment power, it can be easily fixed:
- let the player chose a lower tier set of equipment to let him join in lower tier matches.
- lower tier matches would still provide experience points, but it would of course let your progress be much slower that when player vs high tier players.
- so stop wasting the little time we have to spare on fun, forcing we into utterly boring match making that will end filled with bots pretending to be humans anyway…
- just throw us into immediate fun goddammit! 😭😭 😭

Btw, having many ongoing matches, and letting players join mid-match, would place them on the correct balanced match.
No need to break the balance, unless the player wants to not lose time on queue.
While a low rank player could chose higher rank matches, he would get a warning saying “that match is not suited for you, continue anyway?”
A higher skilled player would not be able to pester newbies, unless you implement a higher tier debuff.
So highly skilled players could be limited to low quality guns, movement hindering, low healing items, so then it would be a challenge for them VS newcomers that can use top quality equipment for that tier.

And to finalise, high tier players could request rooms that do not allow low toer players, even if that means higher matching balance waiting times, but then he could stop the matchmaking anytime and request a quick match if he gets too bored.
I mean, you are forcing on us pseudo balanced matches, even when we do NOT want it…
