Matchmaking

Unknown

Hi there,

I am generally pleased with the game. I for one appreciate the rebalances, and think that making all the characters viable is important.

The one big concern I have is matchmaking. I understand that we don't want people just starting to get constantly blasted by established teams. That said I think we are punishing players that show some skill by winning matches against better teams.

I don't know enough about these sort of systems to give a mechanical suggestion, but I want to be able to play matches against teams that are worse than me as well as the constant buzz-saws I am facing now.

I have read about tanking on the forums, but I doesn't seem to work for me (maybe i'm not doing it right.) I have done okay and have been playing for 46 days now so my team is okay. I have Wolverine and Ares maxed. I have the hulk @ 92, and nobody else above 60. I don't think I have seen 1 team that isn't better than that in AGES!

I get that if you could cherry pick the bottom feeders that all anyone would ever play, but I think we need a balance.

I have read that a small iso-8 skipping tax is under consideration. I think if we had this rule than matchmaking should just be random chance. I don't mind going toe to toe against a team of 100+ 3*'s as long as I have an equal chance of getting a recovery match.

The other upside I see to this is allowing me to use my "B-team" for fun and variety sometimes, because a match will not be so gruelling.

Anyway a long ramble, but my main points I guess are

1) I want to face teams from all over the spectrum
2) I want to sometime be able to use covers other than my top 3 or 4, and have some chance to win.

Thanks for reading,
