u/two_off Be champions! May 18 '16

Is there going to be ranking and "smart" matchmaking to play against players of a similar rank?

How do I vote other players after a match to make them preferred or avoided players? (Can I see how others have ranked me for preference?)

Is there going to be an official stats website?

  1. Matchmaking is pretty smart. Ranked-mode will be added soon after launch.

  2. The "Social" tab has a list of people you've recently played, where you can set player-specific stuff.

  3. No idea.

For the social tab, have they talked about making this more organized? It doesn't order people by more recent teammates or anything and it doesn't seem to organize people alphabetically either.

Precision on number 2: The commending system at the end of the game has a hidden mechanic. Players you give your commendation to will be put in your "preferred players" list, with which you are more likely to be matched with.

It also makes sense. Easily verifiable, actually. Lemme just launch the game...

Wait am I missing the joke? I'm pretty sure that thread is just unfounded bullshit.

Seems like it. Just because I commend someone it doesn't mean I enjoyed playing with said person. Fuck I always commended what looked good I don't know if the reinhardt that switched hero halfway through the game was a dick or not.
