My friends and I played 5 games of BTB last night, search times were fairly reasonable (<2ish minutes). First 3 games were as a To4, 4th was a To6, 5th was To5.ExO BIGG wrote:Josh,
Has anything else changed for BTB other than lengthening the search times at this point? My clan mates and I are having a terrible time trying to get a game the past couple of days. Can't get a game as a full party, or searching solo/double. We got some games in yesterday morning, but now nothing. Do the same mechanics you talk about for warzone apply to BTB regarding full party searching and MMR values?
I remember this happening in the beginning of social BTB. Right after the first ranked pre-season. Any of our friends that ranked champ, could never solo search even when the list went social. After some time something must have changed to loosen up the requirements and we could search again and find games. I'm assuming at this point the population is low... which of course makes sense because no one can get games so they stop playing.
Back to FFA I go...
We are rolling out the new "better team vs. team" matchmaking rule across all the hoppers. We started with it being pretty conservative, and are working on loosening up slowly till we hit a sweet spot.Quote:Wait time questions from a few of you
Awesome! I'll leave some feedback once I've tried it out. Thanks for the update.ZaedynFel wrote:We are rolling out the new "better team vs. team" matchmaking rule across all the hoppers.

The goal is to prevent the bad matches we allowed without it, but expand fast enough out to our "worst allowed" match to make sure everyone is matching.
We also pushed out party matchmaking restrictions to 4 minutes.
It is a known issue. The search time for tighter matches has been lengthened. It times out at 5 minutes.BruinsDoggo wrote:I'm finding matchmaking to find any game very slow the past two days. I've tried all the playlists and it takes at least 7 minutes at best, sometimes it takes much longer. I've waited 20 minutes once, only for a server error to occur and start over. Any one else experiencing bad matchmaking? Is this a known issue?
If you look at both teams it was just a quick core. Nobody was really slaying. I think that was just a series of bad circumstances that may have had something to do with quitters. We have had a lot of games like that when the restrictions were in place. While those games a frustrating, it doesn’t look to me like the other team was interested in prolonging the game and trying too hard. They just had favorable circumstances.RzR J3ST3R wrote:Josh, here's the first game I've seen under these new MM parameters that made me scratch my head. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/mode/warzone/matches/291a5aa8-8ec1-40a4-aad6-591c0094d4e9/players/jaypops20?gameHistoryMatchIndex=0&gameHistoryGameModeFilter=All
I was watching my buddy play (he's probably got an OK MMR but nothing crazy), and he matched against a team of known uber-sweats (at least 8, maybe 12). He had nobody great on his team, looked like mostly randoms. How did this match happen?
Yeah that wasn't my question. I'm asking from an MMR perspective why this match happened. I know for a fact that most of the opposing team should have MMRs in the 3+ range. the losing team didn't seem to match that at all. So I'm asking what happened?REDD ROCKERR wrote:If you look at both teams it was just a quick core. Nobody was really slaying.

Sorry I misunderstood. I looked again at the game, and just my opinion would be that the players that quit out on him were very high ranked. It could be that it based the match off of their higher rank, and unfortunately when they quit out and it destroyed your friends chances of A competitive match.RzR J3ST3R wrote:Yeah that wasn't my question.

It's possible that there were high MMR kids on the losing team, who may have quit out. But I'm not yet convinced of that... That's why I was curious for ZaedynFel to take a look at the numbers. I play a lot of sweaty WZ lobbies and I recognized all the names on the winning team as top-tier WZ players who usually roll together in a big fireteam. I barely recognized any of the names on the losing team, and they certainly weren't the same caliber players as the winners.REDD ROCKERR wrote:Sorry I misunderstood.

It’s unfortunate that some people will quit out of a match just because it doesn’t go their way in the first 30 seconds.
I really have no knowledge or basis for my thought, it just looks to me like that’s what happened. Like I said the quitters were pretty high ranked. Their MMR probably balanced with your friends and should have had a competitive game.
