Hour of judgement
Banned

Recently read a thread and a mod claimed matchmaking had nothing to do with balance , How is this so ? Match making is absolutely the most important factor of balance in a turned based pvp game - If it isn't balanced or close to any other balance change will change nothing - And matchmaking in this game is completely broken we all know it .

I was shocked to see a mod claim this was not a balance discussion when it is obviously the most important element of balance - And with where matchmaking is in the current game should be discussed - As it needs repairing with maximum urgency if that second server is to ever open again...... never mind the 3rd or 4th.

The problem with match making now is that there aren't enough players to go around as well as the legion vs exile filter.

The filter I mentioned pairs what side you are on before what level the players are so if you have 2 level 40's and 2 level 37's if both level 40's are legion, and the 37's are exile instead of 40 and 37 vs 40 and 37 you will get the level 40's fighting the level 37's because of this. The first thing that needs to be done is have this filter 100% removed.

Now putting the filter aside the other reason why matchmaking is so awful as I pointed out is that there aren't enough players to go around. The matchmaker will always try to pair you off against someone on your level first. However after a certain period of time if it can't find anyone then it will go up or down levels until it can find a match.

This is done so that the person who is trying to get a match can get one.

Many players in the past have suggested removing or cutting the level range for more fair fights but the problem with this is that in the process of this wait times will go up due to isolation, and in some cases matches won't be gotten at all especially during non peak hours when the servers have a population as low as 100-300 players.

Although I agree that matchmaking is part of balance, and that pointless features like alignment dramatically impacting fair 2v2 matchmaking is horrid.

I don't however think it is the most important.

I think the most important factor would be viable variety and healthy game-play with counter-able strategies.
