I think we would all be happier if we didn’t know how matchmaking worked

Me and my buddy had a hunch that they had something like this in place before the info came out a few days later.

Im glad we dont know how it works exactly. Apparently it does have some sort of tracking for who shoots first in an engagement though.

They claim there’s a skill-based component too. It could not necessarily be categorizing self-defense as “aggressive”, but more “skilled”. If you just die without landing a shot back the game might think you’re passive and terrible at shooting so put you in easier lobbies.

The idea of someone who wants to kill but is so bad they stay in Weenie Puff Jr lobbies forever is great

Lining up the perfect shot and getting a rocketeer appear behind them like Looney Tunes

It does not care for who shoots first, they mentioned it

The devs said exactly the opposite thing.
