Skilled Matchmaking

Like others have said level doesn’t equal skill. You could be a low level and still be very good at pvp or you could be a high level and not be so great.

You are right. But all the time and commitment spent must mean you have some skill. I’m not saying all lvl 75 players are good, it is just most that I see are.

Sorry to ask but i don’t fully understand. How would hackers be more common on newly made accounts?

Because hackers usually have alts that they use if they get banned, which are low level

sameeee

Then they should put stats and win percentages into account. If someone is level 60 and wins a high percentage of games playing, then maybe they shoudl be playing with people with a similar win percentage. Maybe the more games you win the harder it gets to win more. Maybe this can be an LTM add ranked base matchmaking. I have an idea that maybe they should add ranks like in rocketleage.

As long as this isn’t the only way to get into games I’m on board. Every game needs social game modes so it doesn’t alienate the player base. K:D should be the the ranks.

no pls that would just be an annoyance

I don’t think skill-based matchmaking would help Hive in any way, and I will tell you why…

First off, how would you measure someone’s skill? Levels aren’t the way to go since they only measure how much playtime you have. They do not in any way measure skill. Measuring a player’s KDR wouldn’t work eother since some people are really good at PvP, but hop into the void to respawn at their base as a strategy so they can protect their treasure. Even if Hive did implement a proper skill-measuring system, I still wouldn’t like skill-based matchmaking.

That reason is because it would just be rewarding bad players and punishing good players. Tell me, how is a bad player supposed to improve when they only play against other bad players? They won’t learn any new strats that good players use or get better at the game. Ontop of that, no one wants to be forced to sweat every single game. Some good players just want to be able to relax and have fun. And if a bad player loses to a good player, they can learn from their mistakes, observe what the good player did, and improve. That is why I don’t think skill-based matchmaking is the answer. It would just add more problems ontop of the current problems we already have. Bad players will continue to be bad players, and good players will be forced to sweat every game.

I don’t think the point is to only have skill based matchmaking

good point. there could be ways. like an optional stat tracker that tracks ALL stats you have. (Like KDR, win percentage, treasure destroy and how far you travel around the map maybe) It could be optional to do it/turn on the stat tracker. I know it may sound like a dumb idea, and you bring up several good points, but I think it could be implented in the game if it was edited a bit.

it’s still a bad idea do to you would still have to sweat every game

I mean its optional so not everyone has to do it. I personally have my days where I wanna sweat on everyone and go full tryhard

He’s doesn’t want it optional. He wants a full out matchmaking system for every game lmao

Well im implying that it CAN be optional

i doubt people would want it anyway

Maybe it could be an experimental gamemode…??

as a game mode sure but as a full out system no

Well yea. I dont want it for every round, but maybe it could be like rocketleage ranks if that makes sense

Although I don’t agree with this suggestion at all, if the hive implemented skill based matchmaking this is how I’d want them to do it, to have the least confusion possible
