Well I got a decent amount of client side stuff done for this, but unfortunately the current "official" client is more or less dead from a dev perspective.

Anything I do there for matchmaker is a waste of time, since it would take months to get into the code and months after that to get to your PC. Additionally, this relies on a server implementation for matchmaking appearing out of nowhere, and given that clan tag colours weren't even possible I am going to label this as unlikely to occur (unless I do it myself).

Frankly, there is a lot of things higher on the agenda than new features if I invest time in FAF dev, namely: making existing features work.

The problem is that each time I want to do some dev, it takes me about 15 minutes to figure out how to make the dev client actually start and then another couple of hours fixing the problem. That's fine if I have a whole day to spend doing development, but it makes putting in small bits of time here and there completely impossible.

Making a matchmaker isn't that hard (the main pain is messing with PyQt UI stuff) so I think I'll wait until the client is a bit less broken before I properly get on with it.

custom games are custom, they don't need competitive rating.

The rating should be a good indicator of player strength, so that auto matchmaking does a reasonable job and it's easier to balance custom games manually.

The ranking should be some sort of mix between player performance / player afford. On higher levels it should be very competitive. It would be nice to have a real league system where you can first prepare against players with specific tactics maybe even on specific maps and than challenge them. Imagine you have first round / second leg where each player can choose his favorite map / faction ( maybe days, weeks before or at season start) against the opponent. It's like a very long tourney.

Rating / Ranking:
- 1vs1 rating
- team rating
- ladder ranking
- (arranged team ladder ranking)

Game Types
- automatch option for 1vs1 lader and eventually for arranged team ladder
- maybe automatch option for team games
- custom games ( 1vs1 or custom team games)

Ladder and custom 1vs1 should affect the 1vs1 rating number. Though ladder should have greater impact maybe by factor 3. Arranged team ladder, autoteam match and custom team match should affect team rating accordingly

You're suggesting removing the ability for anyone to properly balance their custom games?

You don't have to have the leaderboards on the client, the global leaderboard isn't, but it exists.

I don't think it would be aesthetically pleasing to have 6~7 different leaderboards. My personal opinion is that we should amalgamate all matchmaker games onto a single rating system (so all matchmade game would affect the same rating), leaving us with the same number of leaderboards as we have now.
