[q]I guess I also don't quite understand the term "factory RPS." Can you explain for me? [/q]

Gladly.
As
mentioned
before,
it's
a
little
more
pronounced
in
1v1
where
the
game
is
started
with
a
singular
factory
each.
Factory
Rock
Paper
Scissors
essentially
means
that
there's
a
probability
that
one
of
the
two
starting
factories
having
a
distinct
advantage
over
the
other,
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
Keeping
in
mind
that
player
skill
differences
can
overcome
factory
RPS,
but
all
things
being
equal,
one
player
is
going
to
have
a
significantly
more
relaxed
time
winning.

An example of that might be jumpbots vs tanks, with the toolset provided to jumpbots having some inherent qualities that make dealing with tanks a relatively trivial (albeit predictable) affair.

The problem is double compounded by the fact that when it comes to factory switching, the disadvantaged player is probably already behind and can barely survive a factory switch, whereas the advantaged player can likely do so with comfort, earlier than the player who actually NEEDS to do so.

Ultimately, it sucks getting in the matchmaker queue for however long, to get into a game with an adversary who would normally be a fair challenge, only to have your honest best count for nothing because they counterpicked you - knowingly or not.
