a method for balancing the matchmaker

cheapbooks, on Apr 13 2017 - 20:43, said: you can use this method to balance the matchmaker.     for each tank in queue, you have its tier, armor rating, HP, penetration, top speed, view range, and crew exp.  you also have the player winrate for the tank, the player overall winrate, and the service record score.   you create a score for each tank in queue using all of these values. for example, you can sort by each criteria, and get the player's rank for each criteria. so he might be 10th for HP, 5th for penetration, 20th for view range, etc. if 2 players have the same stats, they get the same rank number. so you get a list of ranks like so: 10 5 6 7 9 11. then take the average. so if a player has an average of 5 (meaning he is one of the top 5), then he is a better player/tank than a player with a score of 10.   then take all of these tanks / players and sort them. then start building teams. add the first player to team A, the second to team B, and keep a running tally of the player scores. if one team is building a higher score, then you add the higher scoring player (in the queue) to the weaker team. in the end, you have 2 teams that will have near equal scores.   obviously it can be computed in less than a second.
  this is 1 way to balance the matchmaker.
