🆚Matchmaking System

Phase 1 Matchmaking Logic

In-game Matchmaking Screen

The matchmaking process pairs users with teams of similar overall Skill ratings for online PvP matches.

Users must have enough Energy to enter matchmaking. If this is true, they can select the relevant game mode to find match from the in-game main menu.

Currently, PvP pairing is based on an elo rating, which is calculated using the formula Base Skills + y * Added Skills, where y is currently 1.5 i.e. Added Skills are valued at 1.5x more than Base Skills in the current 'elo' formula.

By default, matchmaking attempts to pair users whose teams' elo ratings are within 30 of each other.

While a user waits to be paired with an opponent, their matchmaking standards adjust based on the table below.

Time Spent in Matchmaking (Seconds)	Max Elo Difference
0	30
15	50
30	75
45	100
60	150
90	200
120	300
180	400
240	500
300	700

While users are waiting in matchmaking, they may cancel matchmaking by clicking the cancel button to return to the main menu.
