General Discussion,
With a great sorrow in my heart I come to you now, seeking contrition from my sins. I had the sheer audacity to skill into Gallente Dropsuit Command V, Assault Rifle Operation V, and Assault Rifle Proficiency V. I pressed on, while deliberately hiding my own guilty from myself, and created several fittings to utilize the skills I had just obtained.
And here is where, in the common vernacular, I made a really "**** move" dear general discussion... I-I... I can hardly bring myself to say it... I... EARNED ENOUGH ISK TO RUN THESE FITTINGS WHENEVER I WANT!
I'm sorry general discussion! I had no idea what I was doing! I thought that it was okay for me to use dropsuits that I was able to skill into! I was wrong! I know that now, please forgive me! The idea that I can just use my ISK however I damn well please, it's abhorrent! It's truly disgusting. I don't know if I will ever forgive myself for my crimes against humanity. I hope that in time you can, dear general discussion.

No, it wouldn't.
You propose putting all the high KDR people in a group together, yes? So that they have fairer matches?
Assuming we had a sufficient playercount for noticeable matchmaking, that would not work.
What happens then is you end up with all the snipers and tankers in the high brackets, followed by vets, followed by newbies. Okay, good so far. What happens then?
KDR normalises. When against players of equal skill and equipment, the average performance will be average. Even in the highest brackets the average KDR would be 1.
What happens to KDR matchmaking then, do you think?

The sniper tanker arguement is s symptom of an under used brain. KDR matchmaking would have to apply to squads if it were to have any effect. Still with me? Solos would be matched accordingly.
If my the squads on my team were matched against similar squads on the enemy team we could all fight people around our skill level. If kdr levels off and we are all about the same then you can assume it was poor matchmaking that earned our elite a high KDR in the first place. |

Let me highlight the part that you don't even seem to understand you typed.
Quote:we could all fight people around our skill level.
This means KDR normalises. You understand this, yes?
When KDR normalises, your much vaunted KDR matchmaking becomes useless.
Pure KDR matchmaking is inferior to a more balanced solution.

If KDR normalizes then every match would have a theoretical even distribution (on average) of the terrible players with 1 KDR and the great players with the 1KDR, after this match the great players will have an inflated KDR and the bad players a terrible KDR, but then after their next match the bad players against bad players will be thrust higher at a 1KDR again, and the good players against good players will once again be thrust into the 1KDR again.
If you graph this you'll have some wild rubber-band crap going on at the start of a player's lifespan, and as it progresses an almost unnoticeable "ripple" as the matches carry on, for the KDR/Match.
This is why KDR just doesn't work in the long term, due to it inherently approaching infinity as t approaches infinity, limits are bastards, are they not?
You need some kind of "teir" system, that bumps players up and down teirs, based on several performance factors.

I believe it would add a competitive edge that would actually mean something. Even if it got to where every one just fought whoever there would be spikes of good players who fight eackother.

What happens to KDR matchmaking then, do you think? The same thing. Every time face an opponent, someone's KDR goes up, and the other goes down. Unlike the current system, where you go proto, and then only prey upon those weaker than yourself (which I'm sure attracts quite a few), you have no choice but to really harden up and stay competitive, or down the chute you go. But don't worry, you'll never again play anyone abysmally worse or unassailably better than yourself.
Have fun!

Elo would allow you to be matched only to nearby players, and rise/fall/normalize accordingly. We are currently using such a system, I bet. It doesn't work.
As for the one bracket idea, I welcome it. However, we would all be on a stack. Let's just say we have only 100 players (probably true ). They can't all have the exact same KDR, and every time they face one another, two people move up and down that stack. Scotty then divides it by the top 32, next 32, and on with squads entering the stack as an average of the squad KDR, but everyone in the squad having their outcome KDR figured individually. KDR is used to shake out the stomp factor, and other, more nuanced skills (teamwork, strategy) float players to the top. They, in turn, churn the KDR butter, and the system fluxes on several axes.
So beautiful, I cry a little.

This is the story of a troll.
The troll could smell a commotion, the activity it brought excited him.
He crafted a thread, that would surely froth them into a fervor.
Oh, the attention he'd receive! The sound of a shaken hive of bees within the confines of a glass cage.
He posts the thread, shaking the already agitated hive, and slowly presses his face to the glass with a grim.
Then as if by magic,
it began to fill with what appeared to be an actual, discussion.
He screamed "LOOK AT ME DAMN YOU, FOR IT IS I WHO SHOOK YOU!"
but no one looked, or listened.
Lady Fate had played a cruel joke.
For she too was a troll.
