New layout of matchmaking

I used to play long correspondence games against bots (ddk mostly) but suddenly these are out of acceptable time range for all bots… is there a way around this?

Having new automatch options of 5m + 5s and 5m + 5x30s is awesome. But the settings seem to be broken.

Every time I tried being automatched in the middle category (I tried both exact and flexible) I was put into a game with 10m + 5s or 20m + 5x30s.

I think that’s not intended, is it?

Suppose my rank is 13k.

If Opponent Ranking +1, does it mean 12k or 14k?

I always wonder that too :slight_smile:

12k.

It’s definitely hard to get your head around…for example, if you’re 13k then +1 means subtract 1 to get to the stronger 12k player. If you’re 2d then you add 1 to get to the stronger 3d player.

No need to add or subtract anything. Knowing that +3 means three stones stronger and -3 means three stones weaker is enough to understand this.

I’ve been wondering how we could make it clearer.

Maybe we should have the word “stones” after it? :face_with_monocle:

I feel that might replace one confusion with another (handicap stones).

I like ‘stronger’ and ‘weaker’, possibly written above the selection boxes.
