Did a couple matches tonight. There was a squad of 6 guys on the other side each game. Each time, I was playing the same team with the same people. The randoms on their side also ended up on their team multiple times. I have had it happen before. Several months back, I played late at night like 10 matches. Each game had exactly the same people in it.
Why is it that the matchmaking is never randomized? In other games, I might run into the same people over and over but I might be on their team one game and the next not. It seems as if there is no randomization that happens. Anyone else notice this?
Be well.

Right, I understand that. I know that the player base is not that huge but it still doesn't make sense that the teams wouldn't be randomized in anyway. If there are 22 randoms between two teams and you get put into the same group of people, you would expect that the teams wouldn't be a mirror from last game. It just seems as once you are put against a team, you won't be put on that side one way or another. It has been going on for as long as I have been playing DUST.
The reason why I tag my name is because, for some reason, I have done it for the longest time. E-mails, forums, letters, everything. Why does everyone else do it? I dunno, ask them if seeing someone's name in the post offends your senses. |

Right. I know this. However, why is it that you will literally have the same people against you and have the same team 5 games in a row? Allow me to make an analogy:
You have a bag of dice. 32 dice. There are 2 sets of dice duct taped together with 3 each and 4 sets of dice glued together with 2 each (2 squad of 3, 4 squads of 2). That means there are 18 solo dice that can be mixed and matched. Obviously with those 32 dice, every time you pull out a 16 between two different people, you are going to run into the same numbers over and over. That makes sense. However, that isn't what is happening. What seems to be happening is that the dice are not being put back in the bag between each group (match) and are instead carrying over to the next group (match) instead of having a new randomized group next match.
With 32 people, the odds of running into the exact same teams (IE, numbers 1-16 on my team, 17-32 on the enemy team) multiple times in a row is still unlikely. However, it seems to happen all the time. Saying it is because there is a small group still doesn't explain why the same team composition will exist between games. Yes, the people would be the same but the composition should be randomized. |
