Algos will now continue to be given additional burst matches until they have had 15 burst matches or have lost 3 burst matches. We expect this to slightly reduce the total number of ranked games being played, but dramatically increase how quickly a med-high level algo can receive good feedback.
This is the last update we planned out during the matchmaking overhaul. This was the first epic I spearheaded so its pretty exciting to push out the last change. As always, let us know about any issues, comments, or concerns.
There were also a few minor bugfixes and backend changes, but nothing major to note.
I’m loving this. Feedback rate is spectacular. Within 2 hours my newly uploaded algos are reaching around 2150 to 2200 ELO and are starting to face some versions of algos made by Top 10 opponents. In 2 hours!! This used to take about a week! Very nice.
Its crazy that it was ever this bad looking back, glad we got it to a much better state
I figured three would be a good number, since 3 losses should be able to give some idea of what needs to be improved across a decent enough variety of games
I love the new system. I just uploaded an old algo of mine that floated around the 30-50th rank for a while an hour ago, and its already around what a 30th ranking algo would be, and still climbing. Really useful for getting practice matches in
