Opt-In to High Level Matches
in progress
Jamison Perkins
Currently, the matchmaking system will attempt to put new players in low-level lobbies to ensure they find opponents of similar experience and give them a better chance at learning the game.
Unfortunately, this can result in players who are initially unable to find opponents. One solution could be to have an 'Opt-In' button if the matchmaking fails to find an open, low-level lobby within the 30 second search period.
This button would give the player a choice between joining a higher-level lobby, (with a warning that the match will be more difficult than normal) or playing against bots while the server looks for similarly leveled opponents.

We'd made changes to the matchmaking, and additional changes in line with this post are being worked on. :)

This could be a good thing. As we've mentioned there's some updating on its way that we hope will help boost the player base. We'll evaluate after that.

Thats a good idea . Another suggestion is to have 2 types of finding match. The current and manually where you can see all available lobbies and join . The low lvl player can join high lvl lobbies as well but show a warning . The high lvls can find only high lvl once

DeaFBuLL: I think that high level players should be put with low levels in a 3v1 if there is no one but bots above level 30 its some good practice for the low levels as the good player would be able to give advice and strategy tips and the low levels could give the high level a hard time and help teach them how to deal with lots of players at a time.
