declined MM Format

[Incorp 2,084]

I got this idea for a PRO battle format called matchmaking, or MM for short. It is basically creating your own MM battle. Here is how it works:

1. Go to battle list, and press 'create'.
2. Choose a MM map.
3. Choose the mode.
4. Select 'MM' in the 'format' section. The time, and other settings will be automatically adjusted to MM's settings. For example, if you chose ctf, the max numbers of flags captured would automatically set to 7. The timing will be automatically set to 15 minutes.  Overdrives, drones, micro upgrades, supplies, gold boxes and nuclear supplies would be automatically turned on. You can not change these settings.
5. Press 'start'. This will place your map into the MM pool.
6. Join the battle. The  MM system would load players into the battle soon. 

This way, you get to create your own MM battle, and get to complete missiojs through those battles. The plus side is you can join these battles through PRO battles. You get to choose your own maps.

Additional rules:

1. There will be a 15 minutes cooldown after you created a MM format battle. You cannot create anymore MM format battles in those 15 minutes. 
2. You cannot create a battle with the same map twice in a row. After you created a battle, you cannot create another one with the same map, unless it is in another mode. This is to avoid other players repeatedly joining the same map and getting bored. After 30 minutes, you may create a MM formatted battle with the previous map again.

All the above rules applies only when creating MM battles. 

What do you think of this idea? Any comments will be Appreciated :)

I declined a similar idea not that long ago, but I will do my best to explain it again. First, one of the main goals of MM is to get players into battles as fast as possible. Hence, the system creates the battles itself. If players were able to create their own battles, we would be stuck with many half empty maps, and the time of the battle would be wasted by the time enough players join the map. On top of that, such system could be abused to complete some missions easily (such as capture flags, pick up supply boxes, etc..)

Well, MM creates map and put players in it, right?

This idea let's you help MM create maps. Since MM loads players into bTtlw fast, after pressing start MM would match players into the said battle. What is wrong with that?

Little off topic but why do my ideas take so long to get approved

As I said in my post above, many players will create their own battles and as a result, we will have many empty battles..

But MM will load players in!

Since players will get the option to create their favorite map, each player will make his own favorite map and wait there for players to join. It will result it more maps than needed and longer waiting times. Your idea won't work.

True... but how about restrictions? Like if 3 people already created maps each Inn a 15 minutes time span, then you gotta wait for 15 minutes to create one?

3 maps in 15 minutes? I don't think anyone would be interested in a competition to see who can create a map faster.

I don't think many people would make too much matches, since most only play MM
