Battlegrounds matchmaking idea!

[DPS 6]

Greetings! 

I got an idea of some kind of matchmaking at Battlegrounds.

Read full before makes any decision please:

So we need many "brackets"

When player signs for any BG, system should check player's current PvP rank (for groups PvP rank should be same as highest rank in group).

During waiting system should search opponents only with same PvP rank. BUT if in some time(eg 2min) no opponents found, rank area should raise up with 1more rank etc 

Example:

Rank 13 guy signed for BG, in 2mins there is no enough R13-R14 players to start BG, so search continues but now players with R12 joined to pull, if no players found in 2mins, R11 players joined to search pull etc.

 

THATS NOT ALGORITHM, thats an idea how to make PvP normalized.

Before you make this kind of posts, do you even think about what your suggestion would accomplish? There is no benefit in this suggestion for anyone, just longer queues.

 

High ranks in vanilla does not equal high skill, or good gear. only time invested. so basicly your suggestion would make a already long grind, even longer

My suggestion is makes more competitive rank grinding, allowing skill req, since playing vs higher ranked players(even pugs) is still harder than farming green paladins with TuF.

Also, thats will make low rank PvP is more competive too, since players will fight MOSTLY same geared players, they will forced to stop afking (since afking is started when player few times in row face premades)

But rank has nothing to do with neither skill or gear, you can be green geared and reach rank8+ without much issue.

Rank is only a time investment, and if you are a super bad player, you can still reach high ranks if you put enough hours into it

 

Your suggestion would have made sense if the ranks worked like rating, and decline on losses, but since the only factor in here is time investment, it won't matter if you are rank 3 or rank 10 when it come to skill.

 

Low rank pvp will not be more competitive, you will just have less chance of getting stomped by the premades that are reaching for rank 14, you will still encounter low ranked premade pve heroes that stomp you with their bis gear.

 

The only thing you accomplish with your suggestion is to increase queue times.

"If ranks worked like rating"
If high ranks are playing only vs high ranks it makes a bit more "rating-like" still poor ofc, but still. Because high rank will be more than only time investment.

And then random rank 3 gets more honor in 5 hours played than r12 with 10 hours played. Your suggestion goes the opposite way of how the ranking system in vanilla should work.

If you want rated BGs this is the wrong expansion.
