Hello,

Suggestion is as follows; Add a new game mode or adjust current game modes to group players by faction alignment.

Example of how matchmaking works now;

80 players want to drop into a game.
Matchmaker places 80 players into matches based on ELO ranking
10 groups of 8 are formed. ELO places 10 groups of 8 into 5 games of 16 total players.
Players fight.

Example of how matchmaking would work

80 players want to drop into a game
Matchmaker places 80 players into matches based on Faction and ELO +/- 50 elo points.
** Matchmaker attempts to place Kurita with Kurita, Liao with Liao and Mercs with Mercs **
10 groups of 8 are formed. ELO places 10 groups of 8 into 5 games of 16 total players.
Players fight.

**Note** as there are not always equal numbers of "X" and "Y" faction to group faction players together, mixed games WILL still happen. In the second scenario the matchmaker will TRY to put faction players together against other faction grouped players.

Included is a poll. Do you agree with ^ OP?

Yes.
No.
Abstain.

Discuss!

MM is already too hard pressed to make good games, and I'd hate to tax it further with what are somewhat arbitrary choices for most people.

I say wait for CW for this.

Not right now. There are more important things to worry about before limiting the options.
