Ranking Updates
This thread's purpose is to gather more thoughts on Matchmaking and how it should work.
Toribash development team is currently focused on making the Matchmaking system work as you would expect a proper matchmaking to, and we would like to make sure our current plans fit community's desires and views on it. Any thoughts and new ideas are welcome and will be considered.
What is currently planned to be implemented:
We also plan to disable daily rank 1 rewards for now as it has turned into "farm rank without getting caught" fest.
It doesn't mean that everybody with top ranks farmed their way up, but Event Squad members have to deal with rank-related reports on almost a daily basis. We may still reward top players in some way.

What is currently planned to be implemented:
- Ranked - a "first to 3" duel
- No mod choice - players get to fight in randomly selected mods (mod changes each fight).
Draft mod list: aikidobigdojo.tbm, taekkyon.tbm, lenshu3ng.tbm (or rk-mma.tbm), judofrac.tbm - Brown belt restriction
- Seasonal rank resets (3 months for season length)
- No daily rank 1 reward. Instead, weekly rewards for top n players or one-time reward at the end of the season.
- Matchmaking being the only way to rank up.
- No mod choice - players get to fight in randomly selected mods (mod changes each fight).
- Unranked - a "first to 2" duel
- Pick the mod group to play
- No belt restriction
We also plan to disable daily rank 1 rewards for now as it has turned into "farm rank without getting caught" fest.

I still think this will affect good casual players, but we can't fix everything.

In general we need more players to play (advertisements? Possibly a new rank advertisement team?). Some players start playing and generally enjoy it, then they play multiplayer, but because they don't know how to play and get matched against good players, they get discouraged and decide to quit. (I have showed this game to many of my friends and it happened 100% of the time.
I suggest having the newer players play vs new players. BUT once a yellow belt wins >80% (or 70%) he will be matched vs regular players and if he the drops drastically go back to the new players. This will filter out alt accounts. Let's be honest the alt accounts are sort of ruining the new player experience
What we could also do to filter alt accounts is to attach a phone number to one account (kinda like csgo prime) and match prime vs prime (if possible due to low player count). I'm saying this because we don't just need to fix a problem, but we also have to prevent them.

The best way to make this game grow is advertisement and making new players stay. There once was an improved tutorial thread where basically nothing happened... You should fix that...
I think the best thing that could happen to toribash rn would be a new wave of players. Many players joining at once! Like a small and short boom for thd community. To achieve this, just putting advertisements on a webside wouldn't work. A few players would maybe join every day, but they wouldn't stay simply because of the lack of players of the same skill lvl.
Hey not to sound too intrusive, but please try to stay on topic. Thanks! -Slau
And now back to matchmaking:
Advertise it a lot throughout the toribash community, at leat make the people who are already playing toribash use it.

well...talking about matchmaking,yeah advertising it on the website would be useful,but putting it between free play and mp wouldnt be too useful.
why?
because the window for matchmaking appears right in your face when you start the game,so.......
