Guild Wars 2

Q1) Do I have this Right?

1) So I get this season that we are trying have roughly even matches each game.
2) So the players to be allocated on teams are ideally within some “close” pip range of myself.

If So…

Q2)

How does the game decide what a even match is? For a game of Solo Qers, I assume you take the MMR’s of each team, average them, and voila fair match if they are roughly equal?

Q3)

How does the algorithm deal with the fact that 4 theives on a team together have a much lower chance of winning then the average of their MMRs would indicate?

Q4)

How does the match making handle the fact that Team 1: 2 Super high MMR + 3 suck MMR, will do far poorer then Team 2: 5 average MMR folks?

Q5)

Now assuming I do very well in my games and am rewarded with a higher MMR, I will be teamed with folks whom will have lower MMR’s. Right?

My reasoning is cause I’d move up in terms of Pip’s giving me a pool of players to pick from, and by then my MMR will have been far better than many of those in the range. So if I’m above average (ok median) for the pip range’s players. Hence any team with me on it, is likely aiming to have an average team MMR less than mine, so I get poorer and poorer quality players to play with.

Q6)
I thought the thing learned from season 1 is players don’t like games with large spreads of player skill in the same game. And using pip range, doesn’t guarantee player skill, if any metric you have would it would be MMR. So its not sufficient to prevent this skill spread from happening.

Games are better when your playing with like skilled folks for fairly obvious reasons. So why suddenly unaddress something that had been figured out before?

Suggestion
S1) Consider classes when creating match-ups.
S2) If you want 50/50 matches, grab 10 people with consecutive MMRs in the pool of people you have. So for ascending MMR’s (P1 lowest P10 highest) make your team like so:
Team1 : P1, P9, P8, P4, P6
Team 2: P2, P3, P10, P7, P5

In this way you meld the ideas of having rougly equally skilled people in the game and somewhat averaged chances of winning. Use MMR only to give the overall relative ranking and assign players.

I will also accept thoughts or clairification to my understandings from anyone else. Is everyone else under the impression that the above is how the current season match making works?
