Preferential Matchmaking for BR III

As we know, in the new BR system, BR 3.0 is able to see either BR 1.0 or BR 5.0. This may either discourage new players who are limited to basic gear, or cause midgame players to face end game gear, which contains significant advancements.

I suggest that the matchmaker should attempt to put BR 3.0 players with more BR 3.0 players at any available chance. This would take priority over BR III vs II and I, IV and V, etc. This would essentially cause BR 3.0 matches to more often be “equal”, as (ideally) all players would have BR 3.0 gear.

Additionally, perhaps maybe limit the amount of BR IV and especially BR V that can see BR III at a time. I am unsure if this is already implemented (and this may also result in people dominating rounds) but it may help to prevent cases where BR III may primarily fight teams that mostly have end game equipment.

Thoughts?

Well, something like this has been around since beginning/merge. If there are enough players (who knows what enough players means) in queues, matches are made up of only the same BRs. If there aren’t enough players, games are made up of 1-3 and 3-5.

that’s already the way it works or tries to.

I believe it already tries to do this
