VR calculations

Actually, 6.5K to 7.5K are in the majority of those who had voted on the questions

Too Easy and Too Hard (signs of unbalance) have a 54.7% majority over 45.3% "Just Right", which if the system were improved the "Just Right" would be in the majority.

Under what circumstances are VR searches ignored?

Since this is starting to become off-topic from the original intention of this thread (to calculate VR based on what position you're given, not for matchmaking) I bumped this. We should continue discussion over there.

Just so you guys know, the reason why I always wait 80 seconds rather than placing you directly into inappropriate rooms, regardless of what's available, is just in case someone who IS appropriate starts searching within 80 seconds of you. At that point, you two will find each other and start a new room. I don't think it's wise to just immediately place you in a different tier room if nothing else is available just for that reason alone; it'd be very hard for new rooms to form and be balanced from the get-go.

From experience and only playing ctgp over the last year, i can tell that even if there is only 1 viable room open at a time, it is still a better experience to wait 80 seconds and get into the "good" room, rather than getting in a bad room instead. Another Thing that we´ve noticed, is that if there is no high vr room available, you simple get one of your clanbuddys and start searching, and build up a good room yourself. I stopped counting how many times this worked out, and we Always ended up getting a full room with a solid 8-9k vr base every time.

Raptor, I think that was the case back on WFC except it was more of a "oh this guy on my friend roster is playing I'll join him" for multiple people rather than clan raids, and then the rooms filled that way.

It works out, but I've only seen it work out with CTWWs and not WWs. The WW algorithm needs to change.

However, CTWWs still have a chance of really awkward mixtures so I don't think its algorithm is perfect either (but it's still a lot better than WWs).
