Seems to me that matchmaking has been better of late, it will obviously work better during peak hours when the number of players is at it's highest.

Didn't know you guys were working on this as of late. Awesomesauce. Will test when I get on in a couple hours.
Bad news is that I have a high KDR, but I have skills of a newbro :(

Here is a thread where CCP Ratati and the player community discussed how to improve matchmaking.

From Ratati's comment above, sounds like they implemented it.

I've seen way more interesting match ups. As always thanks for the work and efforts Rattati, you really make a impact on this this game. A positive impact that is and as a vet I can honestly say it was time for more positive things to happen. |

Well I'm disappointed then, had the same crap half a team with less players than the other & 100% one sided matches... But I guess it'll take time for the moo (Mu) to balance itself. |

I sincerely hope CCP Rattati and crew stay on board when the transition to Legion starts happening in earnest, you guys have done absolute wonders for the game since Hotfix Alpha and the community to developer interaction has never been better. If we had you guys working back since Closed Beta of Dust we'd be in a very different place right now.

...As a solo player, I find it funny that I'm being placed in matches with corp squads of 1.up, S.A.I.U.K.I., Glory, and few others.
Does this mean I'm close to the skill level of these squads or do I just have bad luck and Scotty dislikes me? Either way, my matches have been pretty damn good. No complete stomps as of yet... |

Oki overal its 50x50, second game was actually pretty balanced and we won.

I hope they used WPs per death (excluding teamkills and suicides) as the balancing metric. It's the hardest to game/manipulate, and it punnishes redline snipers by putting them in harder matches. It also tracks well with win/loss without the huge disadvantage of perversely incentivizing players to deliberately cause their team to loose so they can stomp more easily.
Anyways, it was an awesome discussion, and CCP Rattati deserves a lot of credit for his methodical approach.

Most of our matches last night were good ones. I did get into one stomp late last night, but overall the matches did seem a bit more balanced. Will pay better attention to it today..... |

send me direct feedback to [email protected]. Screenshots welcome and ranting "I shouldn't be against these guys etc." Then I can look up the characters and their stats and see if it worked correctly

Are you guys considering A/B testing the squad modifier constants to try to find the perfect number? I'd do this like a binary search where you start with numbers that are fairly far appart and every week you move them in, splitting the difference until you converge on the values that yield the closest matches.

Eventually, definitely.

Sounds to me there needs to be an emphasis on pitting squads against squads, rather than focusing on players "Skill levels". A no squad mode would do wonders for this game.

You can preach that all you want, but it's player preference. I personally like lone wolfing. And it's foolish to assume that teamwork isn't possible for those that want to join unsquaded. From a matchmaking perspective, it would be the best way to get more even games.

Are you saying Glory is actually good? 
If so I feel sorry for you. |
