Titanfall 2 matchmaking looks at player contribution

Titanfall 2’s matchmaking is being overhauled meaning matches should be more balanced than they were in the original.

Respawn’s Mike Kalas covered some of the lessons learned from the release of Titanfall 1, including that the matchmaking process looked chaotic and confusing. He wrote, “By showing the teams being formed in the lobby, the process can appear chaotic and encourages players to back out and search again, which adds to the visual confusion.”

He added that players’ skill was updated after each round, but there was no way to move players to a different match. Unless players left a lobby to improve their situation, Respawn couldn’t help them out and put them in a more fitting match.
