As regular players of various online games, we recognize the importance of fair matchmaking. Unfair matchmaking can lead to unbalanced matches, impacting everyone's experience. More often than not, the issue arises from variations in the level of gaming proficiency between players. Recently, many players from South Africa, particularly farmers and Afrikaners, have joined the gaming community. They are often new to the gaming world and require time and practice to match the skills of seasoned players. However, their entry-level skills impact the gameplay quality for others who are matched with them. The current matchmaking algorithm doesn't yet account for such skill and intellectual disparities.

To resolve this, we urge valve to provide separate matchmaking for this underdeveloped species. This separate matchmaking will ensure more balanced games, a better gaming experience for all players and a more welcoming environment for newcomers.

We stand not against our farmer or Afrikaner mates, rather against the inadequate provisions in our gaming platforms. The improvement of this system is not only a call from Johannesburg or South Africa but gamers universally.

Please support this initiative to promote fair play and sign this petition.
