Marriage Roulette

As much as I appreciate the sentiments of this idea, from a design standpoint is just wouldn't work. The DF is specifically for filling instances for people who need the content in order to progress with people who will play with them. The most efficient way to do this is if everyone queued solo, because combinatorics. Of course, not everyone is going to queue solo so we need to makes sure at least some of the community is or else it would destroy queue times. The way to incentive solo play is that the roulette, with its bonuses, requires solo play. Allowing people to "duo" queue into roulettes breaks this and it would really mess with queue times. Generally I think it would raise the mean and the variance of the wait time. Not good.

this is a moot point of DF as 9/10 times, I'm matched with lvl 50 players in llr anyays. This ultimately does very little to help new players, in my experience

Level 50/60 people need to re-run content for gear...they need to be matched with people too. Even if they didn't, anecdotal experience beats mathematical combinatorics how exactly?

Roulette Expert, lvl 60 and 50 would like to have a talk with you.

And there are two things I would say in response:
1. There are more people at cap than are leveling. More people = more combinations = easier to make teams
2. Ever notice the queue times on Expert v Leveling? I rest my case.

1. Easier to make teams for.. cap roulettes? Leveling: most of the time, it's 4 synced people, so no new members here to help, everyone is there for the high-bonus, and they know their roles, so..

2. not that much, considering we have almost instant queue me as healer and him as Tank ^^
