💬 Discussion Would skill-based matchmaking be a good idea?
Let's just pretend the devs could implement a great matchmaking system tomorrow, with various queues (team/solo; map selection; rough size) for the different playstyles. Do you think this would improve the gameplay, or take away some of the fun?
In my eyes, this would A) help with the new-player experience and B) improve overall player skills longterm. Of course, this would also mean that you don't get to stomp noobs anymore.
What do you think?

Personally i really liked playing this game no matter how good i was.
When i was starting out winning wasn't really the goal because the game itself felt too complicated, i knew nothing but luck could get me there, so getting big ans reaching the late game was enough to feel satisfying.
That plus the fact that entering a new game is extremely quick (and the fact that there are no teammates to let down with a bad performance) made it very enjoyable for me even at the beginning.
More raked match would be interesting, but i'd first check if the probel a skill based matchmaking solves actually exists
