![]() ![]() An effective MMR system takes an online gaming experience to the next level. Most games use their own ranking systems that differ slightly from Elo, but the principle remains the same. Player MMR is typically defined by the following: These MMR systems are designed using the fundamental principles set forth by the Elo rating system. Once enough players accrue, the system places the players into a match, and off they go. When a player enters a matchmaking queue, the system waits until other players of a similar caliber (MMR) enter the queue. These matchmaking systems assign a point score, usually known as a matchmaking rating (MMR), to every player who plays the game online against others. The systems employed are designed to maximize the player's experience when playing. ![]() Online matchmaking in gaming has evolved in the same way games have themselves. In this blog, I present a solution in the form of a new tournament style matchmaking mode for solo queue players in team-based games. Players who play team based games by themselves miss out on competitive tournament play commonly available to 1v1 games and pre-made teams. Team-based games in an online setting, however, lack a tournament mode for solo queue players. Team-based games thrive in online gaming just the same (if not better) as 1v1 games do. Let's consider a few currently trending examples and their match sizes: This large portion doesn't have access to tournament-style play unless they take the initiative to join a clan, or have friends with similar playing schedules. They rely on online matchmaking to find random teammates and opponents to play with. A large percentage of their core player base are those who "solo queue": people who play by themselves. Many of today's most popular online games are team-based.
