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:
Known issues:
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

in general would be somewaht decent to have official orgs to be usefull for once and nominate the mods they believe are competative in each category, for example we have order of tk, which is for some reason official, hence recognized, which may gather around and select several mods they believe fit, same for the rest official orgs.
having official community organizations to have their imput on "cumpetative" aspect of the game have a bit more sense than having community-wide polls with least common denominators voted most, due to the obvious gap in skill between regular players and more experienced ones,
i mean really, trying to please everyone doesn't work, and the competative mods should be shaped by the people who understand aspects of the mods pretty deeply, so when they roll out something it have some creditability
got swayed a bit, anyway yeah, still looking forward to see some consolidation efforts

At the moment, changing of the modlist is by dev only, but there's a UI on the way to let us change it. As soon as that comes out we'll definitely have more discussion on adjusting the modlist.

Noted, thanks. Any ideas on how to reproduce it, or did it seem to be random?

If this is the same as what I get it happens everygame, but it is simply that the relpay speed has been set to 0 automatically for some reason
pressing > fixes it and pressing space sets the replay speed to 1
Don't dm me pictures of bowls that you find attractive.

It is no-grab but itțs not a striking mod and itțs not kicking either.
Maybe if u suggest other 3 mods that are competitive and make a new category or idk.
Grappling. Yes, many matches end without clinch happening, but that's not so different from real sumo wrestling, where many matches end with simple extended-arm push-outs. Still, clinch happens, and throws happen. And as I said above, new sumore_e makes clinch a lot more likely. Thinner upper bodies, reduced velocities, and more range on pecs and shoulders. It's not as jumpy as sumore_v.

Yes. Thank you based odlov.
One thing which I'd like to point out is the problem with V's knees. Is the knee velo toned down (compared to the rest of the tori) in the new one? In V you could do some insane things with knees and it really hurted the grappling aspect of the mod.
