Could this also be achieved with a better rating system that automatically matches you with players of your own level?

- gadders 4y agoThat's game-able though, no? I know people can on CoD.
- bee_rider 4y agoWe’re a more than a decade into the arms race of “video game matchmaking is game-able” and “let’s try to counteract attempts to game the ranking system,” I wonder who is winning at the moment.
- vkou 4y agoThat's not a difficult problem to solve. The difficult problem to solve is to find the right space between "Matchmaking results in the most skilled players being at the top of the ladder" and "Matchmaking results in fun matches." The casual community for any game is much larger than the top-0.1% community, and cares a lot more about the latter than the former.
- Ekaros 4y agoAnd by my understanding at least some time back the top-0.1% community is anyways outside the ladder system. On third-party services. So CSGO kinda should aim for the later.
- lbotos 4y agoCS does match making now. They had a few problems: 1. Small pool of active players so queue times could be long 2. They had a "gulf" where you got de-ranked down into lower tiers and it was a lot of good players in the bottom tiers that couldn't fight their way out to higher tiers with possibly equal players. They fixed 2 with a re-calibrating a few months ago. They have 18 ranks now. I jumped up 5ish with the re-calibrate.
