Matchmaking mods have been changed, mod list now consists of "classic" mods.

Grappling: aikido.tbm, aikidobigdojo.tbm, greykido.tbm
Kicking: taekkyon.tbm, erthtkv2.tbm, kickbox.tbm
Striking: lenshu3ng.tbm, rk-mma.tbm, wushu3box.tbm


This list applies for both ranked and unranked for now, but ranked rooms will use all the mods no matter what search options you used.

Default TC has also been changed to 10. Still seem to reset back to 5, will have it fixed.
Planning to raise it up to 50 TC per win this weekend to see how the system works when more players use it.

I think new mods are better

I like the new rotation, what about mod specific matchmaking though?

Hey a thing is happening in Toribash, I think there should be some kind of icon or in game item(think leg elf or gm arm band) that shows what rank you were at the end of a season. And to go along with that maybe some larger categorization based on %.

<League of Legends Ranking Comparison> Say toribash has 100 ranked players, so top 3 are tier 1(master equivalent) 4-10 are tier 2(diamond equivalent), top 25 are tier 3(platinum equivalent), top 40 tier 4(gold equivalent), top 75 tier 5(silver) and the rest tier 6 or bronze.

I think what you've come up with is a good place to start, and I'm glad TB is trying to get back on its feet, but I think having a little more recognition for having a rank that's high, but not quite rank 1, would be cool.

P.S I don't think trying to implement matchmaking based on ranking; eg. master equivalent can only matchmake vs other master, diamond, or plats would make sense with such a small player base, I'm just saying that I think it would be cool to have some secondary indication of rank, even if it's just an icon.

I don't see why stretch matchmaking cannot be a thing.

You start with a matchmaking target audience of only those who have are at a very similar level to you, and the longer you wait, the further out this extends.

Saves time and avoids long waiting times, whilst ensuring that, if the right people are on to play you, you are playing them, not some random who has just started the game.

Same argument could be made for aikido, judo and wushu-like mods, heck, bring back casual (nomod) and stabjutsu while we're at it...

I don't think there should be 3 month resets. Every 1 month is fine.

One month reset almost literally means that the player who plays the most gets rank #1 (or at least top ranks). We have seen this quite a few times now. Rankings take some time to even out and reflect skill.
Three month season balances the amount of games played better.
Activity should be an important factor when it comes to rankings, but no the main one.

As far as I can see for now players don't get any penalty for leaving a ranked matchmaking game, please fix this in next patch.

Can it be made that matchmaking is defaulted to ranked mode?

Out of 15 match making searches I have only done 1 ranked mode. I asked my opponents why, and they said they didn't realized you have to switch the option...

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this.
