Suggested change to Team Arena matchmaking

[Warscale]

Okay so we all know that team arena is pretty much the white elephant right now.

Every match involves some high level creating two alt accounts with minimum level characters so they can get wins in team arena, pretty lame in my opinion.

I would like to suggest that matchmaking be changed from total levels for the team to highest level in the team,
this should not be too difficult to implement either as essentially your just changing the ToTalTeamLevel variable to HighTeamLevel.

Summising that currently the code for team level is a simply TotalTeamLevel=Player1lvl+Player2lvl+Player3lvl
and that new code would be more of: HighTeamLevel = max(Player1lvl;Player2lvl;Player3lvl)

Probably oversimplified it but shouldn't be much more difficult than this, the alternative to resolving is to make it against ToS for people to run alts (which should already be in ToS but for some reason isn't)

Thoughts?

You're right.. but, the matchmaking use randomic method, isn't it? so, guess that's why happen so many unbalanced battles everyday on TA... like a 3M against 1M team..

Well we should be thankfull to get match at all... Imagine if the rules were very strick it be like joining cross server war and you may never get even a match if they apply more of the criteria for this

Well... isn't everyday that I (and a couple of others from my server, as far as i know) can join cross-server war. i waited 3 hours (8 cooldowns) and nothing.

YEa for newer servers its harder since more or less servers are gouped together with similar servers- age and time zone. And so if players are few who queue in the group its either low chance of matchmaking or endless que ue with out any match up.

Yeah its always nice when you go tino TA with your 5-6 million BR Team and get in 8/10 fights enemys with 8-15 million BR. Here is my tip. Just dont do TA. I just do it if i really need the activity points to reach 700. To reach 600 it isnt neccesary. This way your nerves have a longer life.
