Deliberately missing my point.
Yeah, now you know what its like, since you did The same with me.
But Maybe my ironic have Hurt your feelings
One serious misconception here. Insta-forfeiting is absolutely not a common thing, not even on casual mode. It is not a major issue for anyone (well, other than players who actually throw those matches and lose their time).
You might do it, some others might do it, and there is a chance these people also tend to visit the forums more to share their frustration, but that doesn't make it a common thing.
I often pray to get matched with players who'd instantly forfeit against me, unfortunately I rarely get this blessing, no matter which decks I'm using. And trust me, I would glady take the extra 2 CPs for few seconds of my time, zero problem with that. That is time well spent for me, when I compare rewards vs. effort.
On the other hand, I have never forfeited a match on start, no matter the odds - I'm not kidding myself that this game should be only about my favorite (or favorable) matchups. On the contrary, I always build my decks with the most common, efficient netdecks in mind, to be able to stand against them and be able to counter them - often times this fails and I get wrecked, but that is absolutely fair. Of course, if you don't want to accept the need for adaptation and you just want to play (and be successful) with your "creative" deck of choice, that is your personal decision. As I pointed out so many times on these forums, most players tend to play to win, not just for the sake of putting cards on animated boards. A seriously large chunk of these players also have low creativity or zero urge to come up with their own ideas, so they copy what is best - this is why streamers can put up a living playing Gwent or other similar games. Most viewers are not there for the show - they are there to get ideas and instantly copy anything they see to be effective on stream. This is how the community works.
Imagining a system where people would only play against their fav matchup (and that matchmaking would be declined by the very same system, because that specific decktype you'd like to be matched against would cancel YOUR decktype as being favored against him) is the greatest paradox really.
As a matter of fact, this would literally kill the matchmaking system and introduce horrendous queue times for everyone.
Well, i dunno If this mensage was for me, since you didnt quote me. But since you are talking about insta forfeit, i think it is.
Well, If you see, my first post i quoted The Draconifors post, wich He gives The idea to "Adding an option to accept or reject the opponent match up"
And in fact thats its a pretty Good idea. Its not a filter that you never Will play against The faction X, but its a mensage asking If you whant to play against The leader ability The game choose to you.
So, If someone Will do insta forfeit against a specific leader (lockdown, ursine ritual and etc) He can Just dont accept that match, since its more easy.
But, in punishment for that, it will take more time to him to play (but not more time than enter in The game and forfeit).
For The opponent, He Will gain 2 crowns more Quick than enter in The game and The other forfeit.
So, i repeat, its not a filter, but a mensage saying If you whant to accept That game.
You are speaking of one match, and what if it is 3 in a row? 5? For exaggeration - 10 (although it might happen to some people)?
I'll give you an illustration why it would never work as you want. I tend to return to my Svalblod self-wound deck from time to time, but because some people are fed up with Lippy or warriors they ban the ability; now I'm forced to find another match and I would be very lucky to do it on second try, considering all the hate Lippy gets. If it would continue like that for 3 games in a row, because of this very suggestion I'm forced to either continue to search for an opponent with self-wound for who knows how long (growing more and more irritated in the process) or play something else in hope of finding someone to play against which again doesn't make me happy since I wanted to play that particular deck.
However, even second option might not save me because I could find myself being in the same situation with yet another leader some people despise; continuing my example - I got tired of waiting untill I find anyone with Svalblod and decided to switch to Uprising engines, however, because somebody decided "I'm in no mood for Uprising witchers" I'm stuck in another waiting sequence.
And you know what will inevitably happen if such a change would be implemented? Hundreds of threads both here and on Reddit shittalking on CDPR for the implementation (I also can assure you - even suggesters themselves will be among them).
Well, my other mensage with all The explanation serves here too.
After 2 or 3 matchmaking with The same leader ability (as you said) Maybe The player Will tired of not accept The match and it will accept.
For The Last, i Also use a ursine ritual witcher deck (with doenst have lippy) and some players have Just forfeit in The beggening and i dont care.
