| Author | Understanding matchmaking in mixed PvP / Dynamic balancing in CG |
|---|
I will share these battles as examples:
Lvl 21 elf solo vs lvl 19 DE chaos, lvl 15 necro
https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?lt=-1&warid=1686867125
and then later:
Lvl 21 elf, lvl 10 plain DE versus lvl 18 barb, lvl 14 dark necro
Does anybody know what factors go into matchmaking, because it apparently isn't as simple as going by levels? I did wonder if there is a degree of "whatever goes" based on the pool of available players enlisted in that wave. However, a counterpoint is that there have been times I get two AI opponents or get kicked out of the pool so there's a lot of mystery here.
Some of these answers only admins might know, but I have been surprised by the insights shared by our players on different stuff asked here before. Looking forward to your thoughts. |

| each faction has it's own coefficient that is taken into account during matchmaking and recently they introduced a coeff for elo as well. |

me being the top-1 elo champ they gave me 18 vs 15,15,14

whilst this noobo got 18,14 vs 15,15 |
| What factions/class get a boost? If thats the vision, is there another way to balance normal (non-mixed) pvp with even levels? |
for 1234qwer:
That is quite insane. It should be 18 vs 15,15 imo. Adding a third makes it nigh impossible. But you played really well. Necro got luck on pretty much every hit but the mage running away with gargs makes it an impossible fight. Thanks for sharing that link. |
All level 18s. But the lower elos paired on one side. Why?

for virtual_vitrea:
no elo balancing in paired |
| Damn it seems you know ur shit. Next time i'll just DM you :) |
for 1234qwer:
The thing I'm curious though is if there is any source that reveals concrete data for ELO and class boosts for matchmaking. Similar to how we have specific numbers for EOFO. |
| There was Elo balancing in paired, but then high Elo players complained that they always got paired with noobs. |

Nope |
