Suggestions for Matchmaking


Recommended Posts

There are some things that are SERIOUSLY wrong with the MM system, and they need to be fixed. I strongly suggest the following changes take place:

 

Give all maps equal chances!

This is #1 on my wish list for the MM system. It's ridiculous how the system puts you in maps that you go on often! So tanki's assuming that player's gonna like whatever map they're sent to? C'mon, what's the point of this? I constantly get put in Massacre, Red Alert, Wolfenstein and maps like that, which I hate because of their size and the way they are built. Yet I almost never get to play in my favorite maps, which are Rio and Future.

 

Stop bullying the lower Warrant Officers!

From higher Sergeants to WO3's is the time where you're bombarded from all sides by enemies... When I play, Third Lieutenants to Captain ranks are VERY common. This is very bad, because a lot of them are nonstop suppliers and just about all of them have m2's. I see the avalanche kit as a popular choice among the people in those ranks, and that's not good, because they are instant killers against WO's. I drive my Wasp m1 around, and when I run into a player using Freeze m2 I know I'm doomed, my isida m1 seems to do nothing to them and my hull is frozen to the end in legit 2 seconds. It's not just freeze m2 that is a problem, it's all the m2's. The rank bracket of Sergeant-Major to Captain is ridiculous and unacceptable. It should be something like Sergeant-Major to Warrant officer 4. 

 

There is something REALLY wrong with the system that I can't stop questioning...

It's quite obvious to me. It's been said that the game orders the most powerful and least powerful players and split them amongst the teams. Then why is it that the huge rank bracket in complaint number two up there exists at all? The whole point of MM was to make things fairer. It's not doing it's job! In fact, it made battles less fair! Before MM, rank brackets like the ones listed above were unthinkable. Now they're in almost every battle. There is something wrong with that system...

 

Put the number of supplies used into account when choosing team members!

The system doesn't care who uses supplies. And constant-suppliers are the most annoying thing in the history of tanki... I'm sure it's part of why the teams are very unfair most of the time. 

 

And the only thing that all of this is trying to say is...

The system is not making battles more fair!

Please do EVERYTHING you can devs to make it legit, because right now it is not legit! It does not do it's job and the system has so many flaws I'm sure it could be confused with a joke!

As a first lieutenant I can say it doesn't get any better than this. Looks like Tanki likes to bash up legitimate newbies as food for their little RTL buyers.

The number one problem is rank brackets.  (boring maps are terrible too, but they are not ruining all aspects of the game)

 

Keep the rank brackets tighter and you get better balance (actual balance not Tanki balance).   This may very well motivate people to stay in battles since they are not outranked by six or seven or eight ranks.  Give priority in the queue for equivalent rank, not sequential order.

So... no switching equipment during a battle?

I get where you're going at here. So if we're gonna have MM battles depend on modification levels, it should on the whole garage of the individual, not just what they currently have equipped.

I think in the Legend ranks MM is probably OK...maybe a bit slow in keeping player in queue too long, but it probably makes decent battles...unless you are adamant about your team winning, then, well....

 

In the lower ranks MM is terrible because of the disparity of ranks playing with each other.  It's the M2 vs M4 problem.  This outrageously unbalanced disparity is what causes people to leave a battle the second one team starts to pull ahead.

 

Another big problem with MM is what it has done to DM.  It always takes a very long time in queue to get into any DM battle.

MM is making my already-terrible K/D drop.

I'm tired of versing captains, druggers, and buyers. 

Y'know, I've been considering quitting tanki lately.

MM matches me with Legends only and these Legends could be like Legend 69s with over 30 million EXP. It's even worse because before MMS I only tried looking for battles without Legends. 

 

If you really wanted to quit TO, just take a 3-day vacation. Don't touch TO. When you come back, you have a sudden laziness urge that you don't want to play TO anymore.

:) You are right :)   I've done just that a couple of times already since MM started.  I usually start again because of some event.  I really had FUN during the War...imagine FUN in Tanki!  I'm still playing since the War, but only a mission here and there with this account and a couple of alt accounts.

I will go one step further.  There is something REALLY wrong with a system that must be forced upon players. No one would use matchmaking if there were any choice in the matter.

Yes. Now I sit here and wonder what's happened to tanki. I don't even know what to say anymore about a system that the developers DIDN'T ask for opinions about, and NOBODY LIKES. Legit no one likes it - are the developers trying to ruin their own game?

There are times that I wonder the same thing with all the seemingly poor decisions.  I think it may have something to do with bleeding Tanki dry before it dies.  Kind of ring the last nickle out of it so longevity doesn't matter if they plan to just let it die.

I hardly play anymore because of all the long waits and all the match making foul ups. I don;t like partial games and I don't like being out gunned by many ranks. I always click away DM missions because I can never join a DM battle. Match making was the worst thing that has ever happended to Tanki. Nothing else eveen comes close.

MM seriously needs a change. It always puts me in battles where there are 2-5 mins left. Also it takes more than 10 mins for me to even enter a battle. Also the missions need a change. Because with this current matchmaking system no missions can be done.

For Legends, it's good. They actually like MMS because before MMS battles for Legends were only from Marshal to Legend. Now they can fight against lower ranks too.

For to , MMS is as bad as it is on lower ranks. They get in battle against M4s, groups, drugs. I have no M4 :ph34r: , and i just have to fight every M4. They all have 50% module protection, and you just can't deal damage to them.

10 minutes? Use quick battle, gets you in in a few seconds on average.

Get rid of Highways, its boring as hell and was made solely for campers, at least stop putting fire birds in it if you wont get rid of it

OOOH yeah dude, shafts and railguns are a huge problem in that one.

It is the only MM map where UP Shafts and Railguns are better than OP Thunder. This map must stay...

maybe this will be seen, i posted this earlier but in a category, but there should be better:

Those MM maps we are getting are repeating.. What if they got switched by ones that arent appearing in MM battles for atleast few months? https://prnt.sc/s7bbs2 https://prnt.sc/s7bcwk https://prnt.sc/s7bf0f https://prnt.sc/s7bg01 or accept map creations by players
