Sweating is a state of mind.GRNT WRK wrote:Strict in ranked. Social should be social. Im not trying to sweat every time I play.
The thing is, getting frustrated by those "lacking thumbs", ie. not having fun in a social playlist - kind of makes you the sweaty one.GRNT WRK wrote:I get much better games in ranked than I do social. Every time I try to play social I get matched with a team while I get people lacking thumbs.
Damn. I do like to be consistent - even when I'm wrong.Brutal Vengence wrote:Everything you said here is what you were disputing in regards to the H5 matchmaking system.

The games themselves need to be fun. Mix them up. Make them a bit silly. Take away / hide some of the individual parameters (eg. K:D) - which you can still look them up if you need to - but don't display that stuff at the end of the game.
Don't record overall wins and losses - maybe concentrate more on time in game as a metric.
Balanced skill levels should be the core of creating a fun experience. The key is wiping the sweat off the brow is to take away the pressure to win.
Not at all. The same way I want to play a game and be rewarded for putting time into it by not being placed up against people only at my skill level in CASUAL game modes.

Skill is your reward for getting better at the game. SBMM rewards that new skill by giving you better players to prove yourself against. In ranked games the players should be as close as possible to provide the best challenge. And if a player isn't winning around 50% of their games then they weren't as good as they thought they were - and will de-rank back to a level that provides more 'fun'.
In social games the teams should be evenly matched to provide a close, but fun, contest. And I really don't see how you do that without some form of SBMM in the background. To make it completely random - especially against well co-ordinated teams - would be folly of the highest order.
My mindset is simply that a close game is a good game. In both Ranked and Social playlists.DIlzZzY wrote:Not at all.

My mindset is that games that wind up a +20 win are just as pointless as a -20 loss. Boring as bat guano.
My mindset is 'sweatiness' is simply a state of mind.
My mindset is that some form of SBMM has to underpin all the games. More an emphasis on matching individuals across the board in Ranked and matching teams in Social.

I guess you never played Social Slayer in Halo 3. Loose sbmm and everyone loved it 10 years post launch. Largest population in the game. People who say stuff like this are the reason our games have 10k populations. But guiz sbmm makes bad kids quit, oh it looks like the opposite to me.

Just my experience, but whenever I get easy games I feel like I'm wasting time and whenever I get games where I have 99% chance of losing I end up just getting frustrated. Both scenarios usually lead to quitting the game and doing something else more worthwhile.
I said this because the creator of the current SBMM system has the data on quit rates and they increase sharply at a certain threshold of skill differential.Tetrafy wrote:I guess you never played Social Slayer in Halo 3.

I have no problem with the concept that SBMM can be 'lightened' in social. How much can be debated. But SBMM still needs to underpin the whole system so that we don't have random match ups. That would be bad.Tetrafy wrote:SBMM is terribly implmented and always should be lightened in social.
Isn't that what SBMM is for? Unless you are a pro - in which case yes, you need to play other pros. I don't want you in my game. Social or otherwise.Tetrafy wrote:Lower sbmm I dont need to play pros every other game in social.
I thought ranking in H5 was pretty much W/L only (CSR > MMR). And isn't the advantage squarely with the team of four?Tetrafy wrote:The rankjng system in h5 is terrible. It should be w/l only. You should be allowed to play in a to4 without being punished.

Yeah, it works really well makes me feel like I have to pay attention but not lean on the edge of my chair wiping sweat off my brow. in ranked it only takes the highest-ranked player into account however in social it takes into account your lower level friend,little bro etc.Darwi wrote:That makes sense.CrashingMoney65 wrote:or have a separate MMR for social like rocket league has.

More of a 'sweat' based match making - everyone is grouped on their skill base for the way they approach that type of game?
That would actually suit me. When I play social I tend to try things out. I'm happy to push a bit harder for the medal type kills. I'll end up dying stupidly because I try one of those ninja kills that I can never pull off. I'll grab the weapons that I'm not very good at (snipers for the loss). :)
How well does it actually work in Rocket League? Good close games?
But hes also basing on a game that has 5 k population now.
