@tagada said in Matchmaker Team Sentons 4v4 TMM Inclusion:
Definetely should start by putting it in the highest bracket first. I don't see how average rating will help lower rated players not get Seton's, it will actually do the opposite
In current, the map is selected based on the rating of the lowest rated player in queue, correct?
If the "use the average rating of the queue (all 8 players)" is used how will that not help prevent lower rated from getting Setons? Am I misunderstanding the intent?
Let us say we have a queue with the following players:
Team 1: 700, 1200, 1500, 2000
Team 2: 1200, 1300, 1800, 1600
With the current algorithm to determine the map used:
The map to be selected will simply be drawn based on the 700-rated player, and prevents using a 1500+ map.
You can see this is working as intended as a match with 836 rated player brought in a queue of highly-rated players here: https://replay.faforever.com/18784598
We discussed in the matchmaking team channel how this is undesirable and higher-rated 1500+ should not be getting maps in the lower rated brackets.
With the desired "queue average rating" algorithm to determine the map used:
Queue's ratings: 700 + 1200 + 1500 + 2000 + 1200 + 1300 + 1800 + 1600 = 11,300
Queue's avg rating: 1,412.5
As discussed in our request with the dev / client team, this would not allow Corinas Hourglass to be selected for the linked replay. Instead, you would see maps in the 1000-1500 or above as Corinas Hourglass is only applied for a rating of <500 and 500-100

So @Tagada , @BlackYps @Sheikah can you tell me why Tagada is thinking it would not help to use average rating?
