Raids 4 Matchmaking??? Add an optional matchmaking system for Raids 4 that helps players find teams based on preferred team size and a performance based rating. How it could work Players choose a team size: Duo 3-man, 4-man, 5-man, etc. The system automatically searches for teammates with a similar rating. Matchmaking would prioritize grouping players who are closer in skill + survivability + consistency, so teams feel functional. Rating concept (example) A simple ELO could be based on combat output and how cleanly youve played, not just raw damage: Example formula: Elo = (DPS × 1000) - (Damage Taken × 1000) / (Total Deaths + 1) (Doesn’t have to be this exact formula, but the goal is to reward high DPS with low mistakes, and punish low perfårmance and deaths.) Why this would be good Right now, forming a good raid team often comes down to: external platforms like discord etc. judging peoples performance by their stats and gear hoping the random you invited isn’t a troll or just bad in general. This system would help players: find teammates faster avoid wildly mismatched groups push you to perform to the best capabilities all the time to not lose ELO and claim on ranks raid with new people around the same level while making friends, which makes the content way more enjoyable. Pros More fun raids (less frustration, less trolling, fewer unexpected failed runs) Easier to find teams overall Pairs players with similar skill/gear level Creates a real incentive to improve (high rating becomes something to grind for and maintain) Encourages meeting new people and making friends, which is a bit undesired in OSRS but still true It would not be too far fetched to add something like this in my opinion. After all, most of us are in touch with this kind of a system trough CS2 and other games. It kinda already exists in Emir’s arena. submitted by /u/Few-Possibility5646
