Thats not what I meant. If you pick random vs another random, the chances of getting a mirror matchup is 1/2 if it is true random. If you play 1.16, it is something like 1/27 or something like that.

Oh yeah now your question makes more sense. But why 1/2? It should be 1/3, no?


There are 6 matchups. 3 are mirror.

There are 9 possibilities though because ZvT and TvZ isn't the same here.

it's 1/3 for true random, non mirrors have a higher chance of happening because there is zvt and tvz instead of just zvz.

Or looking differently at it: Race of first player doesn't matter, 2nd player has 1/3 chance to get same race as 1st player.

Your question is still relevant for both 1/2 and 1/3 vs 1/27 though.

It's true random. I see Ret/Larva/Jaedong getting plenty of ZvZ's.

The actual odds of getting a mirror will depend on ladder population right? I assume it's not an even split.

I do not act professional on my stream so please do not delude yourselves into thinking off-hand comments are my final opinion on certain matters either. The Remaster is amazing and all the fun parts of the game are still there better than ever, however yeah there's a lot of stuff like the awful pathing etc that will not only keep me but many others from committing to it long-term.

Edit: I would also like to add that I have watched the more recent BW stuff that is on at watchable hours, and I look forward to following whatever scene pops up with Remaster's release. But yeah it's an ancient game and I have too much going on in my life to want to try learning something that might be dead when the hype after a month or two ends.

Since when has matchmaking ever not been true random? Theres never been a bias against mirror matches.

I think everyone is misunderstanding duke91's question. RvR in BW has always been weird and the chances of getting a mirror matchup with it is really really low. I don't believe this has any impact on getting a mirror matchup in ZvR/TvR/PvR.

For more info: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/413197-few-mirrors-when-both-players-random#18

For the record, I don't know if the random algorithm was changed, might be worth posting on the Blizz forums about it.

nevermind, thought about it again you are right. Still in rnd vs rnd, mirror matchups almost never occur.

Oh yeah np, your general question is still interesting no matter if it should be 1/2 or 1/3 :D
The question is if people would want it to be true random or not, afaik mirror matchups aren't really popular

The real answer, in case this question isn't completely rhetorical, is someone posted about how big SC2 streamers were getting beta access over older BW names, and about how a few of said SC2 streamers with beta access actively denigrated BW.

So, given this is a BW subforum, everyone dogpiled those streamers.
