FAF Matchmaker

[briang]

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

Matchmaker effect global rating
1v1 effect ladder rating
custom games are custom, they don't need competitive rating.

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

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

Dilli, any news on the progress of Match maker

[Softly]

Not been doing any work on it

Too busy winning?

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.

Still no further forward Dilli?

Instead of making silly bots mate, why dont you make match maker?
