Auto Match Feature Request

Can the auto match filter out the last opponent you played against? I had some issues with getting an opponent, they would cancel the game (who knows why), so I would queue again and get them again and they would cancel again which waste both our time. So I end up waiting a minute before queuing up again so I don’t get a 3rd cancel.

Is it possible for you to cancel immediately instead? That takes less than a minute :wink:

A work around is to block them. Once you’re done playing you can unblock them, or leave them blocked.

This would have unintended consequences. Personally, I’d rather play the same person multiple times than no one at all.

A less broad rule, which I could get behind, would be “automatch filters out matches that recently ended in cancelation”

I played today at 1D and had 9 cancellations on stream. On an alt account so it wasn’t my name.

From my discord using automatch

:enraged_face:

Why angry? I bounce between 1D and 2D I’m not sandbagging

I like this proposal. We have gotten occasional escaping reports due to repeated auto-matching. The proposal would eliminate these.

I do not like it because / it could be improved:

a)people would like to play multiple games with each other instead of having no opponent / waiting longer. That leaves the ‘game was cancelled option on the table’:

b)sometimes people cancel because the other player has forgotten he has a game open and was not fast enough to play a move but then they would like to play a game right afterwards

c) if your opponent cancels a game two times it would be a reasonable suggestion but i think there’s more important stuff to do right now.

d)if an opponent cancels multiple times you can already block them now

I just seen user that cancelled 19 automatch games in less than 3 minutes
if game between 2 users is cancelled, they should not be paired with each other for some time
this is huge bug now
