Let noobs be noobs - lvl cap

<< < (4/7) > >>

Hoja Lateralus:
Howard said that moving the cap to lvl10 might be a good idea but they are interested in how people progress from lvl1 to lvl7 and want to check this out. So I count it as "Maybe, probably, not entirely rejected" :D

Nietzsche's Mustache:
I'm still trying to understand how the novice cap works. Is the matchmaker supposed to stop novices from joining more advanced games? Or stop me from joining advanced lobbies? If that's the case, it's not working. Most of the games I've played as of late look like this:

Hoja Lateralus:
Basically novice players can choose to search for novice lobby or not-novice lobby. I think it's good for both, novice players won't be crushed and experienced players won't be annoyed.

Of course in theory level cap is not needed because matchmaking will choose people with similar skill anyway... I guess we see the difference between theory and life :P

OK, my noob is showing here, but how do I search in a non-novice lobby?  Sorry if this isn't the place to ask that.

Schwalbe:
The fact is, that since the introduction of this opus diabolicum called matchmaker - you can't.

You are BEING PUT into lobby, unlike it was before 1.3.8 Patch, when you had match list, from which you could choose a match, have a glimpse on the lobby and decide whether to stay or leave. But now it's impossible if you use matchmaker.

There are also custom lobbies, but as far as I know they are mostly used by more experienced players to avoid using matchmaker and play in they own company.
