Obviously team matchmaking would be monumental and game changing, but until that is delivered, forgive me that my only other connotation of shieldbattery came from seeing TelecoM >>Nuked<< saying "im gonna play shieldbattery bc its obv better than mainstream sc" whenever he lost to somebody on scr ladder. | ||

Have you tried playing on SB at all? There's no "invalid password" issues. There's a different map pool for matchmaking. There's a lightweight client you can sit in instead of b.net. There's racepicking on ladder. There's revealed fog of war. Even if you assume that none of the announced features are ever implemented, it's a very different experience from existing b.net ladder. | ||

https://github.com/ShieldBattery/ShieldBattery/issues?q=is:open is:issue label:"good first contribution" and only found older issues. In case you also think its benefitial to spend your time on admin work like this, can you label any server-side issues as good 1st contribs? Thank you so much for your work on this. I have been following it on and off for the past 7-8 years! I hope it will be at least as much in the future. | ||

p.s. One idea I've had for a long time, about matchmaking: I don't know how it currently works, but have you considered having separate MMRs for each matchup? For example, my TvP could be above average, my TvT can suck ass. Without separate MMRs, this would lead to me losing a lot of matchmade TvT and winning a lot of TvPs. With separate MMRs, it's possible to achieve close to 50% winrate on all matchups. Objectively, each matchup requires mastery of different tactics (at least that), so it would make sense. | ||

And ppl tend to stick to the most populated server, which clearly is still bnet. I think major problems with bnet, too much hackers, to much bugs/glitches/downtime will be the biggest drive for switching to a third party server, also possible is that SB really outshines Bnet. That would take more than 2v2 matchmaking tho. | ||

This would increase the complexity and cost of finding matches for people greatly, as you would effectively have to enter them into the queue once for each matchup they'd possibly play. Also makes it really hard to come up with a rank for them as far as the ladder goes.

I will try to sort through issues/file things we know about but haven't and add some more of these this week. I'll note, though, that our server is written in JavaScript/TypeScript, so it may not be what you're looking for if you're interested in Rust. Our Rust stuff is all things that run in the game and is pretty hard to get started with (requires a lot of knowledge of the game internals, reversing, etc.) =/ | ||
