Matchmaking feedback thread
With 5.0 we've added a new matchmaking feature for more competitive play. The system is still very much in development and I'd like to get community feedback on how we can make it better.
Here are a couple categories of things that have been brought up, to get the conversation started (Feel free to add new things, though):
Below I'll try to compile the suggestions I receive:

Here are a couple categories of things that have been brought up, to get the conversation started (Feel free to add new things, though):
- Season length - currently set to 1 month, suggested 3
- # of games played - currently BO3
- Calculating global/category rank - currently elo is by mods and I think global rank is an average
- Appropriate penalty for leaving matchmaking games
Below I'll try to compile the suggestions I receive:
- Custom win/loss icons (In place of the current x/o)
- Change selection icons to empty square / checkbox
- Match history
- Better notification/confirmation for matchmake
Known issues:
- Elo penalty is applied to both users - should be fixed in next patch
- Some users reporting that matchmaking isn't properly connecting them to a private room, instead moving them to a lobby with multiple players queued
- Matchmaking seems to be selecting grappling regardless of category(s) selected
- Matchmaking is not pausing while playing a fight
- Matchmaking sometimes skips replay and goes straight to next fight
- Grab status persisting between matchmaking fights, even if mod changes to one without grab

Sounds like this is how it currently works. The both players being penalized thing is apparently just a display bug, which should be fixed in the next patch. It sounds like the patch should also double the penalty for quitting.

Would be nice to be able to /sa and see the people currently in matchmaking.
Even if you can't join and play, I'd personally enjoy watching my mates fight, or just seeing that they're online and playing/practicing.

And Scorpio is right: belt is completely irrelevant.
Is this really relevant in matchmaking though? You can't ensure that you'll get the same opponent multiple times in matchmaking as opposed to ranked servers.
