A good move IMO
Minimum Competitive Level Change
Good change idd. Though I’m wondering if there are more changes coming/needed. This is fine like this, but is it enough? I think matchmaking will keep some of the same issues unless it goes through a bigger ‘overhaul’ than just this. I’d rather have seen Unranked MM from level 5, Solo/Duo Ranked from level 10 + own 3 mercs(outside Aura/Sky) and Teams Ranked from level 10 + own 3 mercs and only registered teams/premades. Even the current MM system with level 7 would be okay but adding something like you queue with a set role(or mercs in a role) so you get matched into a more balanced composition instead of having good ‘balance’ but you’re with 5 level 7 Skyhammers/Aura’s Are we getting rulesets in MM or pick and ban/drafting with this patch or will we get a lot of content and fanciness only to be stuck with the same horrible MM after we’ve calmed down from the hype?
This level 7 thing is great but it’s a very short term minded solution to a much larger issue. It will weed out some newbies/smurfs/cheaters but it won’t account for higher level issues like team composition, solo’s getting matched with premades(tho arguably thats a playerbase issue) etc.
Now make sure they dont get comp mode missions during their low level time. Seen some youtuber having multiple comp mode missions while he was still low lvl.
