That’s rough(for the other team) buddy.

Mostly a matter of the frequency of a absolute new player to Conquest playing Ranked Conquest is uncommon. Additionally any requirement can be bypassed given time. Someone having an account in S4 playing Conquest and then jumping in late S7 has a lot of learning to still do, but they can queue.

You may want instead a "X recently played" but this is a decent undertaking for something that we know statistically doesn't occur often. Could be discussed more though.

If you want a Matchmaking system that does the two following things :

1. Distributes players based on their skill to provide fair matches.
2. Attempts to maximize the speed at which is does this.

Then yes, this is a problem that cannot be fixed. We can tweak 1 to maybe start players based on some other skill (Their casual conquest performance for instance) but that adds noise into the system that will potentially provide more accurate initial placement but noise gets distributed throughout the curve lowering quality overall. We can tweak 2 to slow people down, but this means people will be at their unintended MMR range for longer. Rather than being pretty confident after 10-20 games and being very accurate at 35-40, you delay pretty confident to 35-40 and very accurate to 60+.

When a player enters the pool we don't assume they are average, instead their MMR really represents our confidence. We have 0% confidence we know their skill so we plac...

lol yes

It's been so awesome seeing the community this excited and wanting a follow up from this crossover before the first one is even revealed!

When we started planning for the Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover, one of the biggest things we considered was the feedback we got on the RWBY Battle Pass. Taking all your comments into consideration, we really wanted to go the extra mile in capturing the personality of these beloved characters and the way they move and fight. From the jump we knew that we wanted to put in extra effort and love into these skins to take them to the next level. We slotted in way more work for each of these skins animations and FX a lot of which exceeding the level of a Tier 5 skin (much greater than the past Weiss skin for Freya).

The amount of work we knew would be required to execute the product we wanted just wasn’t feasible if we were to reuse the same Battle Pass structure from our last crossover. So we began planning knowi...

You love to see it. <3

There are tons of added elements that come into play when working on a cross-over of this size, especially when you're talking about a series that’s over a decade old. Unfortunately due to several extenuating circumstances, we were unable to work with the original voice actors for Aang and Zuko on this project (we were able to work with Janet Varney, to voice actor for Korra!). Both the Titan Forge crew and Nickelodeon understood this at the beginning of the project and were excited (but yeah, we were a little bummed, too) to move forward on the collaboration.

We have great partners at Nickelodeon that worked alongside us throughout the entire process. They reviewed auditions, helped us cast the actors featured in the Avatar Battle Pass, and were even involved with directing and overseeing the voice recording sessions. Both Titan Forge and our friends over at Nickelodeon are really happy with the results, and we can’t wait for you all to get your hands on this exciting batt...
