Hello, guys!
I was thinking. (O wow Suma, you has a brain?)
Do you ever think that you are matched up with too strong of players? I propose a plan- MCSG should match you up with people around your wins and stats!

Pros-
It would allow you to win a little more.
It would allow you to meet people around your strength.

Cons-
Playing with stronger players might help you improve.
It might get boring.

What do you think about it? Post a reply!

Why is it a con to improve? Otherwise I like the idea! Maybe have a server that say you have to have a server with 0-25 wins, 26-75, 76-150, 151-300. And maybe even a server with people from 500-5000!

I meant like if the idea wasn't there, you would play with strongers still. But thank you! And the servers sound good.

1. Clan wars wouldn't be possible
2. Playing with friends with better/worse stats than you wouldn't be possible
3. There are a lot of people with an amazing w/l ratio but with less wins than the average "good" player. People would also abuse this feature to get more wins on new alt accounts.

We could make it so it's just a number of servers with it- or a new Gamemode

Also... we don't queue people, where would we actually match them?

Unfortunately, I don't see this being a practical idea. It is nice, but I doubt it'd happen.

This would be the easiest way to do it, otherwise the server would have to manually process and figure out who goes into what server, and it would be even more stress on the server, because of the massive number of players joining servers at any given time.

Also, for people who prioritize a good ratio, this would greatly dismay them, as they'll be matched up with people who are just as good as them - meaning their ratio will be closer to 1/24, not 1/4 or something.

Livestreams where the streamer interacts with the viewers
YouTubers who are just looking to capture a win, not 23 losses.

And what about the people with 1000+ wins? They're often considered in a league of their own, but they might get matched up with players with only 500 or so, because there's not a whole lot of them.

Enemies? Friends who are helping worse friends? Friends who are trying to play with their super good friend?

I don't think this would be too good, because some people will constantly lose because they are unable to keep up at their own level.
