The matchmaker currently sees only heavies as 1.45 times tier to determine its weight. Meds and td’s and lights are all 1.0 times tier (except 1.3 for tier 9 meds I think) Overlord has already stated that the devs will not adjust tds weight ex. Ferdy, isu152, JT and object 704 even tho the count the same as a tier 6 or 7 heavy. Therefore instead of games with one team having alll the td’s or meds or even tier 6 hvys to make up for ferdys and whatnot the matchmaker needs just to be tweaked so that it distributes the meds and tds evenly to each team.the same way arty is currently placed on teams. Now I not advocating anything that would lengthen the wait period or a nerf or anyhting that directly effects a tank. Instead of the current system where all 5 are just as likely to be on one team... same with meds and heavies split as evenly as possible.
Overlord is this type of matchmaker change possible? Do you think it would be worthwhile? Even if you don’t like it please respond in some manner to the question TY
