New layout of matchmaking

Hello, it is me or playing unranked games with a bot it is no longer possible? I don’t like the changes at all, when I was a beginner the old matchmaking layout always looked very logic to me.

another thing when it comes to playing with bots… you can’t choose anything like, color, komi, rules…

Use custom settings. See:

In the old layout it was possible to hide the scattergram of the available games.

Is that still possible (and if so how)?

the old one was much less awfull… At least i could get a game in a reasonnable time (1 to 2 mins). Now it takes at least 5 mins whatever time option i choose

Though none of the feedback (bot settings, hard-to-find custom games, excess buttons) was taken :man_shrugging:

But the launch has been great for forum engagement! :upside_down_face:

Still appreciate the hard work. I guess there should have been a permanent banner on the Play page about upcoming changes.

I think the option to play against bots on unranked games will be introduced back, apparently it was more or less a case about forgetting that aspect.

I think i dislike a bit is this tiny selection thing:

I feel like it should be larger and have some shading that better indicates that something is already selected. Maybe have 3 options instead just 2 since all those corr rengo challenges would def need their own subpage already ^^

So basically, something like lichess xD

Hi, how do I play unranked games against bots with my own time preferences? There doesn’t seem to be an option to customize this, and all games are ranked.

I went there expecting to see an army of flamethrowers … how disappointing. There’s one or two comments not liking it, and the same number or maybe more saying they do like it.

This FAQ might need a sticky: the answer is that in the short term: challenge the bot directly.
