Profile Based Matchmaking

So after another game with 2 looting Larry's who seem to never leave the area they land until everything is looted (they landed swamps) while I crossed to the other side of the map trying to find a sword to fall on so I can die and leave the game. I suddenly got an idea.

I'm sure most of us have experience with being teamed up with people who's playstyle is radically different from yours, and it sucks, since essentially it means you can just leave that game and que again.

What if players can fill out some basic parameters that groups you into a category of players.

For example (aggression) with a 0 to 100 slider you can set to indicate how aggressive you are In general. And able to select your main, and 2 alternative legends you like playing most.

This way, a matchmaking system could use that data to que you up with other high aggression players, who may also main a different legend.

And people who want to go for safe drops, and get decked out can be squadded up with like-minded players.

A system like that would also surely facilitate forming friendships with other players from random squads when you are more likely grouped with others who have the same playstyle.

Please note that account level, kills, attained badges, and other skill-based parameters should NOT be included in this matchmaking system.

Just purely preference for hot-dropping etc.

Thoughts?

    Oh yeah you're right, read your comment a second time and I indeed misinterpreted it.

    Sorry about that.

    An in-game group finder would be terrific. I played WoW for a long time (strictly arena PVP) and groupfinder definitely worked very well.

    They would also need to implement a link feature so that someone searching for players to team with could inspect the banner of the applicant's main.

    A quick look at kill count and badges will generally allow you to roughly gauge player skill/exp and playstyle.
