Quite a few times when I do doubles with a friend, I face an opposing mixed party with one very very low level. For example, I'm level 42 in doubles, my friend is 45, but then we face a level 48 + 15 (the 15 obviously is a booster). So how is this fair? If Im not searching in matchmaking with a mixed party, then I dont want to face a mixed party. Playing against a 15 while you are a 42 barely will rank you up after a win, but you seriously will go down if you lose
It isn't fair. As im sure you know, from your example you are searching in the skill range 42-45 which expands the longer it takes to find a game. The other party is searching in the skill range 38-48 which falls in the same range as your party. So therefore, the system is "tricked" into matching you up with them, no matter what the possibilities are for both parties to rank up or down. It's unavoidable, and the system won't change. These mixed "booster" parties are just part of the game now.
Yes their highskill is in the same range, but the MM system DOES recognise mixed parties and WILL attempt to match them with other mixed parties. But unfortunately playlist populations are sometimes too low and the MM system will match them with normal parties for sake of getting everyone a game.
I wasn't aware of the system attempting to match mixed parties, thanks for informing me. And another question heratik, does the system work like this for all playlists? Say, if there are 4 parties of 2 players each in team slayer, each in mixed parties, the system will attempt to match them together first, instead of matching the parties into different games with more closely skilled parties. I haven't noticed this much, as i rarely see more than 1 "booster" party in a game, whereas from your explaination this should be happening with regularity. I assume its the mass amount of players making it diffuclt for the system to organise mixed party matches?
