Thanks for the link, I hadn't read this one yet. Very interesting. I feel like as an industry we're still in the stone ages on how we do skill matching systems. A lot of the current and even future system they describe is really not great, and these flaws are definitely not unique to them (the systems I worked on are even more flawed)! Trying to matchmake dozens of players at a time is such a cool, challenging problem.
