I think this game's matchmaking could be greatly improved if they would give players the ability to prioritize the preferred rules list.
So just briefly, what are the preferred rules? We have:
Format- smash/team battle/1 on 1
Rules- time/stock/stamina
Stock count- 1/2/3
Time limit- 3/4/5/6/7 min
Stage- all/hazard off/BF/FD
Items- ON/OFF
There should be a way to prioritize these. I'm imagining a system were you can set the priority for each to low, medium, or high. A rule set to low priority is something that if you had to say, you would prefer this, but honestly don't really care. Matchmaking will spend a trivial amount of time searching for games that satisfy your low priority settings when you first queue up, but drop them quickly if there are no matches. Medium priority rules are rules that are important to you, but you don't want to spend all day looking for. Matchmaking will spend several minutes searching out games that satisfy your medium priorities, but drop them after that time frame. High priority rules are rules that you demand to play with. Matchmaking will NOT match a game that doesn't satisfy your high priority rules.
You can set every preferred rule to whatever priority level, based on how important it is to you personally.
Am I the only one who is tired of playing games I didn't ask for? In particular, I don't want to play a format I didn't ask for. If i'm in the mood for a 2v2 I want a 2v2, not a 1v1 or free for all. This would be a high priority rule of mine, but the game doesn't think so, and that's annoying.
Also, once in game the beauty is that you are playing other people who share your preferences. Otherwise you would not be matched. That means everyone is having more fun and getting a good group going that is rematching is more likely.
Agree? Disagree? What would your priorities look like?
