Original proposal
Now turn it into an extended patch for the existing for future BR queues.
The system proposal now target for the specific existed “advanced” BR. (For example only for BR5 in the title, or patch for BR345 queue)
The reason for adding this measure is that some players are worried that high-level players will bring weapons to rooms purely composed of newbies. And some trolls also followed up and derailed the discussion of issues balance effected by number of weapons.
Now this won’t happen again.
Each player on both sides of the battle has at least 1 BR5 weapon or equivalent BR weapon, just like the current MM system did.
On this existed basis, a MM ranking based on the number of weapons factors is added.
As a solution to end this chaos, we have to consider the number of weapons, which is why I brought it up here again and made changes based on player response.
It is a solution in purpose to reshaping the confusion in the current BR345 or suggested +1/-1 BR45 or +0/-0 BR5 matching.
It’s just a sorting mechanism, but it will be better than the current chaotic matching.
Since current BR system cannot truly bring balance to many half grinded players. Some players only carry a small number of BR3 or BR5 weapons and are assigned to fight the Sweat Lord. This situation is particularly serious in the Berlin map.
When a have grind progress player gets only PPD34/38 and equips it on his BT tank crew, he is now more able to find a opponents closer to his combat capabilities and sees less of enemy sweat lords.
Rating calculation
Each weapon has its base points:
BR1 weapon->10 Rating
BR2 → 20 Rating
BR3 → 50 Rating
BR4 → 100 Rating
BR5 → 200 Rating
Depending on the performance of the weapon, its points can be adjusted and balanced
For example KingTiger → 300 Rating or 400 Rating
Through this score, developers can now adjust these scores in more detail, rather than changing the performance of the weapon or even reducing the damage of the weapon.
This summed score will be used for sorting in the actual MM, grouping players with similar scores together. Sorting is performed in BR345 or BR45 or BR5 existed queues~
Each squad of players will receive a total of points based on the weapons they have equipped.
For example 10+10+10+10+50+100 = 190 we get a rating score for a single squad
Solutions for rating summary of squads
pick one
-
A. Calculate the average of the 3 squads with the highest player ratings (original proposal)
-
B. Only count the squads with the highest score (more intuitive and simple)
I personally prefer option A.
Extendable
This rating calculation method can be extended for custom games to allow players to shape their weapon combinations in combat through settings and avoid spam.
Two conditions to shape the battles and allow players to relatively free to combine whatever they have.
- the player’s total ratings,
- the maximum rating of a single squad.
Based on this patch, it may be possible to allow BR45 or BR5 players to participate in more maps, such as randomly matching to the existed volokolamsk winter or autumn maps.
Since King Tiger H has already appeared in Stalingrad, I think it makes more sense for it to appear in an unnamed winter map.
It allows new players to purchase BR3\BR4\BR5 premium vehicles and be assigned to fight against opponents more suitable for them.
Instead of being randomly thrown into battles with tons of sweat lords.
I think this is really beneficial for developers to sell their premium stuffs
It can actually be extended to all known BR sequences, and in fact the rules can be relaxed if you balance them with the number of weapons.
But please ignore this because some naughty players use this for their endless debate games and rebuttals
The points system can be further expanded for additional equipment for soldiers.
What if a squad is equipped with many large bundles of grenades?
They will be put into battle with stronger opponents.
