Players are coming in and out all the time, you can't "wait 1 second and shuffle the list". 1 second after what?

- gafferongames 2y agoThe algorithm just has a tick rate at 1 second. Assume requests come in continuously, but only do work at some rate, eg. once every 1 second for a matchmaker that is meant to very quickly find games, and maybe once every 10-15 seconds for a higher quality matchmaker that is going to do a lot of work to match players together by skill etc (longer tick times means you'll have more players to consider in each iteration)
