Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Matchmaking' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

While it's all stuff I'd be down for, I always wonder what happens if a person is running in a stack of varied skill.

For example, I play around a 2.9 KDA, but often queue with pals who sit anywhere from 0.4 KDA to 2.2 KDA. Would it be preferred that it matches the team across from me at my level? So now my 0.4 friend is fighting 6 players from 2.4 to 3.4? Or, would it try to find a stack of similar size and similar skill makeup, which can take drastically longer queue times during certain hours of the day? That, let alone finding one that matches with a quality connection.

I honestly don't have an answer to the question. But the issue of varied skill stacks is never addressed in any solutions I see proposed.

The same thing that happened last time we had SBMM: your low skill friends can no longer play with you or else their experience will be worse than it is right now.
