Hi guys, I thought I’d try this out as an unofficial poll.

Better quality can mean what ever you want. E.g. only one or two warriors at most.

If you have an opinion on what a good match should look like, please share it.

For more context, I’m interested in improving matches beyond just finding players near your MMR. This includes doing things like preferring a better spread of professions and builds, matching people with dishonor with other people with dishonor, grouping people by rank or play style, etc…

These things can sound like a good idea, but can also cause you to wait in the queue longer. I want to know much longer than typical MMR pairing you’d be willing to wait. We can compensate for that wait by doing things like shutting off extra filters if you’ve been waiting, or adjusting the scoring weight by wait time.

Could you just have two options:

- Put me into the next match (assuming common sense requirements, no rank 5 in a rank 60 match) (You Only Queue Once button :P)
- I’ll wait, put me into a suitable match

That’s a very reasonable suggestion, I’ve added it to my notes.

This leaderboard MMR system is bad itself. My whole team was like 15, 16, 20, 21, and 23. We won like 5 matches and they ALL moved up aside from me (who was 21 before the move) who moved down to 22 because our guy that was 23 replaced me at 21.

That makes no sense at all.

I’ll make a point of doing a full audit of our Glicko2 implementation.
