PVP Matchmaking Algorithm for Arenas 8v8

[SuperZay]

This would be a good idea.

Also, what about locking the ability to change job in duty? So you queue as the role you want to PVP as and the matchmaking puts you into a suitable game with other people. Changing job in the arena could be a form of grief if the matchmaking sorts compositions. Example, your team is assigned a tank, two healers and 5 damage dealers; the tank griefs and changes to damage.

That would be a bad idea, I switch jobs based on who I know (or don't know) in my team and on general team composition. If I qued as a healer but see bad dps and 2nd healer who can solo heal perfectly, I'll switch to dps to make more impact on a match, and if I see 2 new healers in i145 gear and intelligence accessories I'll switch to 3rd because they might as well don't exist.

I thought the ability to change role was locked once the match started though? How can you see if you have bad damage and good healer in the wait time? :/

I don't think we can stop griefers if they want to grief anyway, I guess it'll just be annoying for helpful people to limit options.

Based on previous matches obviously :/ It takes only a couple of matches to see how well someone performs.
If you spam matches in a row you'll be matched with or against the same people, especially now when garo wave mostly ended and pvp regulars are coming back.
