Salty Spitoon Matchmaking

This is an early access mod which attempts to make competitive matchmaking faster for players with a high rating.

It speeds up match finding by making your game immediately connect to competitive rooms with players that have rankings above 700 and making the game search for rooms twice as frequently. Hopefully this allows the competitive queue to give better games to strong players than quickplay.

For players with rankings between 400 and 700, this expands the search to higher ranked players by 50% and makes the game search for rooms twice as frequently. If you want access to the Salty Spitoon, try to raise your ranking. :)

Note: This does not increase the number of high rated players looking for a competitive queue game. But, hey, if it works well, maybe more high rated players decide to choose competitive over quickplay ;)

What does it do specifically?

Under normal circumstances, matchmaking works as follows:

• Look for ranked lobbies within +- 100 ratings points of the player.
• If none are found, make a ranked lobby for 180 seconds.
• Leave the ranked lobby.
• Search for ranked lobbies within +- 200 ratings points of the player.
• Create a ranked lobby. Wait for 120 seconds.
• Leave the ranked lobby.
• Search for ALL ranked lobbies awaiting challengers. YOLO into the first one you find.
• If you failed to find a lobby to YOLO into, create a lobby with the previous requirements and wait 120 seconds.
• Leave the lobby and throw an error.

You may notice that you can force the game to look for ranked lobbies by backing out and back in. This particular flow is why that trick is faster.

With this mod, the following occurs.

• Look for ranked lobbies with opponents that have a rating > 700.
• If none are found, make a ranked lobby for 90 seconds.
• Leave the ranked lobby.
• Look for ranked lobbies with opponents that have a rating > 700.
• Create a ranked lobby. Wait for 60 seconds.
• Leave the ranked lobby.
• Search for ALL ranked lobbies awaiting challengers. YOLO into the first one you find.
• If you failed to find a lobby to YOLO into, create a lobby with the previous requirements and wait 60 seconds.
• Leave the lobby and throw an error.
