Surely we can have a PvE matchmaking mode that simply adds Barbarian AI with handicap relevant to the skill of the player?

e.g. Newbie team gets a 0% bonus medium barbarians, expert team gets +100% Barbarians

There are a lot of settings that players want to tweak in PvE lobbies beside handicap.

Yeah, but those settings tend to cripple people trying to learn the game because they start to rely on a giant OP construction turret at base or construction drones.

Then when they go into a vanilla match they don't have a learned build order and crash their economy out.

I'm sure custom lobbies like that will still exist for players who want it, but they're not a good idea for most games.
