It needs standardised in that regard, though I'd rather it wasn't us telling everyone else which version of which type of mod to play.
We had matchmarking once.. Well I guess twice of you count it being command only & it having a menu option buried separately... Jokes aside, it sucked. Plus no one used it, but mostly it sucked. Maybe the suck was because no one used it?
I could go into why it failed, but that'd just result in an essay on things that'd just make you all facepalm.
Anyway carry on.
Most of the community agrees on the following 3 mods:
ErthTKv2
Lenshu3ng/Rk-MMA (Either are great)
ABD
Some don't like ABD, they'd prefer greykido. That much has been discussed in length that it supports a shovel meta which is super boring.
And I think essentially everyone agrees they want a matchmaking system over the current one.
People didn't use matchmaking last time because they:
A) Didn't want to
B) Didn't have to
C) There was no reward to do so.
D) It was in their advantage that they not.
Because if you care about rank, and you're not amazing, you're going to not want a matchmaking system. You're going to want a pick your battle, noob farm system. Now that there's a large prize involved for being top rank by the end of the month, and we've well fleshed out which mods are competitive through trial and error of the dueling community and clan league/siege, Toribash is at a spot where this will work.
