3 Most people don't like the stress of smaller teams. It's quite stressful, especially more so at the deep end of the pool. Many of us just want a little jog instead of an insane workout. I'd love to see an option to be put into the "Give me a huge team game" option instead of being forced to play the way someone else wants me to play. That's not fun. 3 Most people don't like the stress of smaller teams. It's quite stressful, especially more so at the deep end of the pool.

5 Just remember that you also have an unrepresented major demographic here: the casual player. The casual doesn't want a huge responsibility. They don't care about stats or optimizing build orders or what not. Right now this matchmaking thing just appeases the competitive and hardcore crowd which makes up about less than 40% of zk. Probably less. You'd be doing a huge disservice by ignoring the inbetweens and casual players. 5 Just remember that you also have an unrepresented major demographic here: the casual player.

7 Idea! Have matchmaker allow you to set a minimum and maximum team size of the game you want. For instance, maybe I don't want to play 4v4 and below, but would be willing to play 5v5 - 10v10 and newbie training 1v1. Maybe add a "any game" button that would say 'I don't care about having newbies or ultra pro 'I'm-so-good-I'm-gods-gift' players in my game" or something. Even better yet: add a list of people you don't want to play with to it too! 7 Idea! Have matchmaker allow you to set a minimum and maximum team size of the game you want.

9 This kind of versatility and robustness would be awesome for a matchmaker. 9 This kind of versatility and robustness would be awesome for a matchmaker.

11 TL;DR: Add casual games or something for us who don't want the ultracompetitive games. 11 Before you say "well there's coop for you": Maybe I/whoever wants something in between chicken game and super ultra competitive hyper competitive MLG whatever games ( lol) . There's nothing really inbetween these things with matchmaker as far as I am aware. You can say "But. . . make your own room" right? Well. . if all the things that have been talked about up until now, I'd have to put in a lot of effort just to get the inbetween game I want. Why can't match maker have something for everybody?
