I think a more practical implementation would be to have a "draw" option in the lobby; you both alt-tab and select "Draw - technical difficulties" or something in the lobby room and it exits the game for you. Although even easier would be just to leave the game before the 2 minute mark when you sense lag and have those games not count towards Elo haha. I guess when lag hits in the middle of the game, there is the first thing I suggested. | ||

What if i end up running into the same 2 dudes for like an hour and they're both peruvian (while within the match making process, perhaps a higher or lower skilled opponent that im preferentially not being matched with, would actually be a playable experience)?

Lol Ah, I see. That makes sense. I'm guessing though that if they are similarly alone at their Elo, they will also match with you three as well. But I get what you're saying now. | ||

In the current matchmaking proposal, we evaluate the following elements: - Veterancy (has the player played enough games to be matched against the general population?) - Activity Status (more specifically, inactivity status) - Ping - Time in Queue - Skill Rating Difference All of these have different weights which culminate in a match quality rating. This rating helps determine whether to match you against someone with a 50ms ping but a moderate skill difference or someone with a 100ms ping but a minor skill difference. | ||

Pretty sure one of the devs said that these things would be included in the final product. | ||

Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that matchmaking is almost done, but is not high on the implementation queue because of the fact that it is still closed beta and the population is too small to warrant it, if I recall correctly. | ||
