Declined Map preferences in Match-Making

[r_Pistachio7 88]

Currently, Match-Making just puts you in a random battle with random enemies and random team-mates. Well I think you should at least be able to choose your preferred Map Size. For example, I want to play on a big map like highways or brest. So I choose the big map option from preferences. So Match-Making will look Big map. If it could find a battle that suits my needs it puts me in it. If not, then it could just put me in a random battle where I will probably get rekt. 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

If possible, there should also be an option called "Based on turret/hull" so for example I equipped an agile hull and short-range turret. Match-Making would then automatically put me on a small map. This way it'd be more convenient for players that stick to one combo only.

The problem is that in a matchmaking system you have to wait for enough players that "fit" you battle.. which means similar power on both teams and so on. If you now split the queue of waiting for players into separate queues for chosen maps or preferred map size as well, you end up with longer waiting times.

 

So for the moment, this can't be done. If Tanki would have 20x the players online simultaneously (and those all use matchmaking) then it would be a possibility. But not at the moment.

Players have asked to choose map in matchmaking. But that won´t work because then everyone are searching to play and different maps and no one could play some maps. But, what if they listed maps in 4 categories? When press battle button, you need to press another: "Play in close range maps", "Play in medium range maps", "Play in long range maps", and "Play in any map" etc. like that. Lets pretend we have a case where player number 1 has shaft, and player number 2 has firebird, then both press battle button, and get spawned to map "highway" obviously firebird isn´t the most effective weapon there, so he has to change his turret/leave the battle. BUT, if we could choose do we play in long range, or short range maps, there will still be players for all maps.
