Hard to find matches with a 1700+ team...

[Aileron31527]

Hey guys.

I'm kind of frustrated that with the current features in HoN such as the win % and the PSR shown, many people become afraid to play with my team of 5 that are all above 1700.

Just yesterday it took over an hour just to start a game because there were so many people who left because we did not want to auto balance our friends.

If anything, the developers should try and work out a matchmaking feature in HoN, much like the ladder feature in Warcraft III, where friends can queue up together and wait for a match, whether it be another group of friends or a group of random people.

I'm sorry if this idea has been brought up before, and if it has I just want to support it just a little bit more =).

Any thoughts?

matchmaking is in the works.

I agree with this. I play HoN with my mates and we generally have 5 to make a whole team. We have gotten about 3/5 of us into the 1800 rating and it takes a good 45mins for a game to get started because everyone leaves when they see our psr. It is horrible to just hang around in the lobby and wait for people to join, only to then get smack talked for wanting to play with friends.

We honestly could not give two shits about stats or PSR or none of that junk. We just want to have a good time playing with each other and compare hero's to dota and make suggestions.

...try a scrim channel on irc and play vs other teams...?

Your best bet is to find regular clan matches.
Think about it, if you were in the other team's shoes, would you want to play against such a stack? :s
