Matchmaking MUST have a WR% criteria in their algoritam!!!
This game is doomed lately so much and so bad that becomes unplayable. So many noobs in unbalanced game. People playing shimas with no camo, 20km torps and 17k HP, and of course 3 of those are in the same team. I really dont care about the excell table they put on a web page for MM, it is ridicilous. MM MUST be maked by a players WR% if you wanna keep this game alive. 10 of my friends with 15k games already sold theis accounts, they can not take it any more...and I undrestand them perfectly. Last month my games are like this: either half of my team dies like bobs in first 3mins of the game, either enemy team do that...anyway it is frustrating, borring and unplayable. You want to put the submarines and your game interface is just like from the 1990. You keep introducing new ships, but you never even consider to make the balanced teams. Dunno what are you doing, but you doing it so wrong. Very soon, if nothing changes in balancing the teams regarding the WR%, this game is finished. You can make categories or something, if there is 8 players with 32%WR DONT put all of them in one team, makes no sense.
I always wonder, when people suggest an ELO system, if they ever look up how this systems really works and is calculated?! Just look at Wikipedia...
The ELO-system is a system to value the strength of single "entities" playing against in only 1vs1 matches. Chess may be the most known application for that system. The question is now: How to modify an ELO to WoWs where you have teams playing against other teams consisting of 12 individual players. And yes, I know that there are team-based ELO systems too (like lesser known in Football as well). But in those cases the ELO-value is completely bound to the name of the team and not to the various players playing in this team. You could switch all players in a team but this wouldn't affect the ELO value of said team.
So the already known team ELO doesn't fit to WoWs, because in random the teams have always different compositions. So, there are no teams to stick a ELO value on. You are looking for a ELO system based on individual players playing in a match team vs team. How can such a system work? Will you determine a single (one time) team value based on the 12 player values? Doing this for both teams. Calculate the new numbers and then? How is the freshly calculated team number transfered to the 12 individual players?
The those hard to answer question above leave out the one most single question at all: How to determine a ELO value for a single player? This ELO value should be based on what?!
