I can tell you though that we are hopefully making some progress on matchmaking, and specifically team making, based on cumulative WP/battlesecond, cumulative KDR is not as good because of snipers, but I hadn't thought of WP/D. We will take a look at how that compares to our other data and calculate the correlation to W/L ratio and see how it performs.
This is independent work from hotfixes and will be deployed when ready.
Matchmaking like this is of course only in random matches, not PC.
Yeah but too bad the players never said this. It's not even like there's a place where people post these sorts of things.
Like a kind of messaging place, but instead of it being directly between people it kinda goes on this wall where it's open to everybody, and then other people can add their own messages, they could agree or disagree and have conversations about it...
...it'd be really awesome if there was something like that.

So people who want to get together and grind ISK shouldn't be able to do so?
Heavies who want their logi buddies to run with them shouldn't be able to?
No point in running an active scanner either, or bothering to use ewar mods on your scout.
Just have matches with meta level caps. Will need to rebalance the meta values on some things though.

FW teams do need to be as balanced as possible, don't listen to whoever says so otherwise.
Because you can choose which faction you're fighting for as soon as one faction is winning, everyone flocks to that faction, e.g. Gal/Cal FW. Rail rifles have been more utilized than plasma rifles (at least before Bravo), yet all the pro players flocked to Gallente. Why? Because it became too reliable that Gallente almost always stomps Caldari. I feel that players don't even play Gal FW for the LP items, but to pad their KDRs against militia newbs on Caldari.
Today was particularly awful due to the event, because now it was a bunch of protos redlining Caldari militia almost every match. I actually play Caldari for the LP but I can't get anywhere with 75 LP/battle and 0 standings gains over multiple hours of play. It's so incredibly demoralizing and rage enducing, getting stomped every battle because you're the only player to score over 1000 WP on your team while the second place player doesn't even have 300.
Teams need to be balanced. Militia newbs against militia newbs. Stompers against stompers. And people who want to stomp won't be able to because they won't be playing militia newbs. And now there's reason to play Caldari FW, because those who play for LP will face teams of equal opposition instead of playing the demoralizing battles we got currently. I'd be much better for AFK'ing in the MCC than throwing away millions of ISK in hopeless battles.
Actually one of the reasons why Gallente got such a massive head start was that a lot of Dust Corps/Alliances that are part of bigger EVE groups are actually allied with Gallente.
Covert Intervention (my alliance) included as well was several other large Alliances in the game.
So we were under direction to only fight for Gallente so as to not mess with our pilots EVE side.
(That rule has lessened now as Dust is a sinking ship the EVE side feels more sorry for us than anything else).
After that initial bump, yeah it was probably people jumping on the band wagon.
Though it did get pretty ridiculous, I was running BPO gear and still wrecking everyone. The Caldari players had just stopped even trying. I jumped over and ran a couple of matches for Cal, even formed a squad out of the random blues, but when I got 1/3rd of our entire teams kills while running my BPO logi fit I gave up. The Caldari players just sucked.
