So you want the MM/Server to check every player it finds that can join 1 of its created matches, to see if they have been on the map that is selected for the server they met the conditions to
(elo etc), and skip them if they just played on it ?
I guess it could work, depending on how many matches get started and are ready to accept players from the MM at the same time.
As 1 problem would be if there is too low player numbers. You may get a situation where some people just played rivercity, and all the other matches ready to take players from the MM either have
1. elo range of match too high atm
(if that match takes too long to fill it will relax the elo range and you may get in here)
2. elo range of match too low
(not sure if the MM really cares a ton about this one if it hits the floor limit)
3. Have river city selected as the map.
These players now have to wait longer for a new match to start, one that doesn't have river city etc, or for one of the ones at high elo to relax its elo range a little.
Another would be a situation where 8 or 5 or whatever people get into a match, and the MM can't find anyone else because they all just played that map......those 8 people have to wait longer now.
Not really a huge problem I guess as it shouldn't be very common unless player numbers are somewhat low and the server hosting limit is also low ....just longer waiting times......sometimes.........
(server hosting limit = amount of matches the servers can create and have ready to accept players from the MM at the same time, basically it needs to meet the demand which it probably does on the fly....ie it scales depending on how many in MM queue.....however there is still a max limit ofc.)
